vacation (I'm back)
Well, tomorrow marks the end of my (roughly) two week vacation. It was nice. I'll give you a quick run down:
I Left work early a couple Tuesdays ago and checked into a motel in Stratford with my parents. Next day we shopped around downtown Stratford (nice shops, but I already knew that) and saw All's Well That Ends Well. That was pretty good. The first act dragged a bit, but that's okay. William Hutt was in it, and tht was cool.
Thursday we packed up and went to see Threepeny Opera ( also cool. Kurt Weill rocks... er, rocked... Sheila McCarthy was in it, although this meant more to my mom than it did to me). Then we went to Oakville, visited my sister, bought her a bed and tried and failed to go to a movie. Then my parents and I went back to Belleville. I picked up my Doctor Who Magazines, ran into Robyn and baby Thomas at the Mall, watched lots of Doctor Who and Thunderbirds on BBC Kids, set up a money market fund where I can dump excess savings for a potential down-payment on a house, visited my grandmother, saw Goldmember with my parents (they wanted to see it), caught up with Matt, had a donair (can't get the damn things around here), bought a bike, barbequed ribs almost the way I think they should be done (the gas grill runs a bit too hot), did laundry, caught the train and came back to Waterloo.
Phew.
I'm especially glad about the bike. I'll tell you more about it when it arrives (and my sister leaves) in a couple weeks.
