Random thoughts and PICTURES

Ok, so there are things I already miss about SC. I have carried many heavy or cumbersome parcels through 2 sets of doors and not 1 person has helped me, nor help a door for me. The doormen just sit and watch. Same with neighbors. This would not happen in the South.

I've had 3 cable guys come out to install my cable. The last one was super cute. I kept asking questions about the remote (even though it's the exact same remote as I had in Cola) just to keep looking at him.

Shaquille O'Neil must have lived here. The rod in the closet is so high that I measured it - 82". Yes, I have to stand on my toes and hold the very edge of the hangar just to get my clothes up there.

Ok, now for the pictures..... The first is the drugged out kitty. Check out her poor eyelids.




Next is Jill on the glass floor of the CN Tower. Yes, that spot of green is grass 113 stories below.






Next are me at Niagara Falls and the everpresent rainbows there.


Finally, here is my building, as seen from the CN Tower!!! Mine is the one that looks like it has windows missing. (But it doesn't, I swear.)
I want to thank all my Charlotte friends for my wine glasses. If it wasn't for them, I would not have had any glasses for the first 2 days. The gift turned out to be more useful than we thought!
I have learned to hate the Don Valley expressway. Yes, this is the same one that was closed on my arrival. Well, it's always packed with traffic. I'm talking the stop-and-go-5-mile-an-hour traffic, even at 2:00 in the afternoon. Arrival night was an omen- I will stay away from the Don Valley.

Wow - talk about things changing since we last talked! Congrats. Sounds like things are just as exciting as ever.

Of course, now that you are a Canadian, you need to undetrstand the story behind the country's name. When the USA was named, our neighbors to the north were envious of our country's name and they wanted something similar - you know, short and simple. After much debate they decided to put all of the letters of the alphabet into a hat and pull out three. These three letters would become the name of the country.

As each letter was pulled from the hat it was annouced: "C"ay, "N"ay, "D"ay (read with canadian dialect) - this later because "CANADA".

Now you know the full story!

Stay happy!
