I've got to be a part of it

Hey yo.
Just a quick post to check in. Heading to New York with the gang for Easter weekend. Jess, Chris, Ang and myself are heading out tomorrow evening, with the other yahoos (J, Rip, Northcott & Ginny) to be joining us down there on Friday. It should be a blast! And yes... I know you might be asking "what the hell does a guy with no job need a vacation for?" And you're absolutely right. But this is less about the vacation and more about the 8 of us going down there and having a blast. You only live once, right?

On that note, happy belated St. Paddy's Day! I hope you all had a great couple of days... I know I did. Saturday night Chris & Ang hosted. I believe the drinking started promptly by 7:30, followed by car bombs shortly thereafter. It was a tangly affair, but definitely an awesome night. Who needs a bar anyway? (Almost) Everyone's right here! There was even a special delivery of Mary Brown's made by Jen & Adam. So yeah... pretty much as good as it gets. Though I think Matt was a little shaken up by a certain near-death experience involving a now broken Adirondack chair and an 8th story balcony. Idioth. But all's well that ends well.... which included me not running away and walking home like usual, but in fact waiting around for a ride for once. See? There's growth here, albeit minuscule.

Then yesterday, on the actually St. Patrick's Day, we of course had to go drinking again. This time we hosted. The ladies prepared some amazing beer can chickens and we listened to tunes and played rock band before a handful of us degenerated headed out to that Newfie pub down the road here in Vanier. Pretty hilarious. The old-timers dug Stamp's wool cap, and the live music kept the 5 of us pounding the tables all night. Great stuff.

So yeah... things are good. Got this big trip, and when we get home... it's Spring (technically). I fully expect mother nature to co-operate and remove the 10,000 cubic feet of snow in our yard. Maybe I should build an Igloo while I still can? Fetch me my iglooing cape!

Peace,
