. On Saturday, as we passed the ‘Marble Slab Creamery’ Mumble and I giggled. We were on our way to London with Bob Marley sweetly singing to us. We made it to Deb’s house

in London – Jamie (Owen’s pops) lady friend. He was there too. We were handed

Flying Monkey beers, which were delicious, entertaining and contained a special

ingredient of ‘soul’. Though this place was in the middle of a residential

neighbourhood, there just so happened to be a tennis…

The Montreal rush hour on Monday wasn’t nearly as bad as the Toronto rush hour we went through yesterday. 3 hours of stop go stop go. Our behaviour seemed to mimic that motion. Driving into Ottawa, the sun was setting. One of the most beautiful

sunsets I’ve ever seen. It resembled hot pink sand dunes – but upside down

ofcourse. Red sky at night, our delight. The Rainbow in Ottawa went pretty

Living in this great country of Canada we on the east coast are blessed with an

over-flowing talent pool of singer songwriters. I have been told by numerous amounts

of people that those in the Maritimes are “spoiled” by our musicians. With the

had fixed up. He came from London Ontario to start a life with someone in St.

Martins.…

Thursday Doug had to stop at Staples to make some cd covers. Inside the wonderful stationary shoppe - Owen and I stumbled upon a ‘book

sale’. How appropriate of us to stumble upon a book entitled “1,001 Great Jokes

– from the delightfully droll to the totally tasteless” which we figured would

undoubtedly help us with the awkward silent pauses on stage. We paid a loonie –

no tax – for it and the money went to the Special Olympics. Turns out…

HELLLLLLLLO?

Right now he’s driving…to Ottawa. We left Woodstock, New Brunswick, about half an hour ago – with a short pit stop at the Wal – Mart. I wonder how much they pay the little old lady to stand there and greet people

with her flashy blue smiley faced vest. We went there to get a discman adapter

for the car. Of course none of those car adapter products say ‘discman’ on them

because only 5…
