Continental Drift….
I blame the west coast.
They work to play there.
Here we work to work and we seem to like it that way.
But a strong, gale force of undue influence is pushing in from the west, trying to bring the husband to his crippled knees yelling, “Uncle”!
West coast gale force of undue influence?
Knock it off. He’s busy.
The husband has been very busy working day and night and in between he plays hockey and visits us.
Worse yet he’s covered in ugly bruises from some butcher hacker hockey bugger who took his overabundance of testosterone out on MY the husband! Imagine the horror. There were broken hockey sticks and bad words traded, in the end, the husband’s team lost.
So now he has more time…for work.
But this strong gale force of undue influence is challenging the husband to ditch work, play photographer and drink wine.
He can’t right now.
However, I seem to be free to stroll about slugging back ‘heavens to mergatroid’ wine.
Why isn’t anybody asking me to come out and play photographer.
I could totally dig that whole Bohemian, artsy picture-making waiting for that perfect moment while sitting in the sun outside the cafe with my glass of imported wine scene. People would slow down and look at me as they walked by admiring my skill at sitting and waiting for a picture to happen. Ah, the affected look is an art in and of itself.
But I’m surprisingly off topic.
You best call soon, because it looks like I may be WORKING ON A SHOW soon!
Confirmation pending so ask me anyway.
And leave the husband alone, he’s easily influenced by thoughts of the finer things in life- wine, photography, just don’t mention Cuban cigars or he’s gone!

Is that gale force wind coming through that window you opened up, just a crack? So sorry to here about the husband's hockey bon-a-fides (bombippies?). But hey - a JOB blew in, too! Not a bad day's work for a West Coast wind, eh?

I think I'm married to that gale force wind. Good luck.

Wow, I've NEVER been a gale force wind before. This is awesome. I mean, I've been a chinook, a banshee, even a scirocco, but a gale force wind? Never. And Van Morrison even wrote a song about the GVW. Not about the others. That's so cool!
Ok, I am sorry. Didn't mean to exert undue influence on the husband. It's my relentless charisma, I tell you! I have no control over it.
Need a comedian, host kinda guy for this new show? I wouldn't mind putting the camera, the wine and the cigars away for a little while if it means working with you, drawing a paycheque and sneaking in some camera/wine/cuban cigar time with the husband. I am coming in June. Performing in Scarborough. Not sure what the schedule looks like but it would be nice to have a meal together or something.
Congrats on the latest, Lissa. You sound really happy with all the recent developments. And if you have any spare time, grab the camera and the wine, we'll go play!

That's funny! Our other friends from Vancouver are coming to Toronto (he grew up in Scarborough) in June! Must be the place to be.
Dates! We need dates! I could take off an afternoon or two. Deadlines, scmedlines.

WHAT? Did David and Shiz work with Jay at Summer Camp when Jay was 16? Did D&S live through Jay's strange basement-as-a-fortress stage? Have D&S had to live with Jay's inability to read a road map - or lack of any directional instinct whatsoever? If Jay has time in June, Jay had better be spending it wisely.

OM!
Andy speaks!
Andy, David, David, Andy, you're practically neighbors so you can duke it out in the west before you get here, Jay (spoils) go to the winner. No, really, you can have what's left of him by then.

First off, I can read a map just fine. I'm the guy that took your car down to Portland last summer. Who do you think was reading the maps for Lissa in Paris?
Secondly, you guys are going to be here a couple of days apart. No overlap, no conflict, no worries.
No comment on the Lutherdome in the basement.
