A Sudbury Saturday night..

Thought I would stop avoiding this entry. I have procrastinated nearly everything I was supposed to do this weekend (working, laundry, cleaning, loving) so I should at least write something here. Stop avoiding me.

It has been a weird couple weeks. But the good weird. Spent the Thanksgiving weekend up in Sudbury, Ontario. The drive up was great, we traveled with my roommate's sister... Which is rather priveledged. She is a police officer, and that really brings me comfort in so many ways. Plus she drives very well... Must be all those take downs on the highway... Or the crazy closed course they put her on in training. Aside for all the stress and danger, it must be fun to be "the law".
We arrived and everyone was surprised ... As I had suggested to my other friend that she should sneak in to Sudbury to hang out. For reasons I will not mention, she is currently not supposed to leave her hometown of Timmins. I suggested that if we have a police officer in our inner circle, what harm could come from a tiny indiscretion? I have good judgment, but even I sometimes want more that I should. Besides, if she wasn't there, it wouldn't be the same.

It was great as I spent the weekend with my closest friends in the world. These are the people that you don't care if the underconstruction bathroom has a door or not. The kinds of folk that you just love no matter what they do - even if they get too drunk and yell at the locals. We went to a hole in the wall bar in Garson county. The live house band played 70's rock - sometimes it was even good, poor drummer. His only job is to keep a beat, and he will never be able to do that!! We even met some people that went to grade school with a couple of our crew. Silly good times at "the Falcon". Or the dirty bird as it is called but the people.

We laughed and bonded and loved and I can't wait to go back - in the dead of a northern Ontario winter in January. What the hell. Like I said, I love them more than everyone else, so I'll pack a sweater.

Then back to work. Finally some work has been coming in after a tiny dry spell. My problem is finding a reason to go into work, when there is nothing to do. I hate going through the motions of anything.

I spent two days just missing the weekend that I had ... And thinking about how much the next visit will be better!!!!
