I am a lovable cuddly innocent and timid creature.

Road Trip part 1 - Canadia and other animals






I must catch up very fast on all my doings of the past few weeks.
I flew to Canadia on my 30th b'day, I have a couple of meetings and a lot of free time... as a workahiloch in recovery, free time is not a good thing... made my b'day 13 hours longer. I left I was a bit of an emotional mess, reasons that will remain with me, but I wasnt myself exactly...  Also my tongue was falling off more or less, I had the largest ulcer in the universe of ulcers and it was eating away at my mouth... anyways... so I flew and arrived at Toronto, such a cool town. Really, and many good looking young tall blond men just walking the streets... :) so, anyways, I spent  a few days there staying with friends of my parents great hosts, I drive one day to meet with a couple of people and took some great pics, then I also went to Niagara falls that is this time of year a complete Ghost town, hence I was poisoned by rotten milk at the Starbucks... not drinking milki Starbuck products again.... Anyways, on the way back I took the scenic route and went through Vinayrd country and just so amazing, the sun came out, I wet and sneaked into a cemetery that looks like ones Buffy walks around in, it is interesting you see dates you dont see in Israel... 1897-1943... very sweet place... then just Toronto is so like Degrassi... I almost got the entire show on DVD but then I was like, well if they have it on DVD then I can probably download it... yes, Canadians, they buy CD's DVD programs... even home users, they are pretty cool but very left in an annoying way, like recycling and peace are the most important things in the world... well actually i guess they are, but... come on guys... well... the first profound understanding of this journey is how cynical we are, Israelis I mean... we are bitter and we are cynical... maybe it is just me... but I dont think so... then I flew from Toronto, not a moment too soon, it started snowing and I didnt fill the tank with gas and I was late on the return of the car and couldn't find a gas station, and got lost... but made it finally to airport just to encounter a delay, not before almost anally probed by the US immigration at the Toronto airport... how weird is it you are in Canadia, and there be a big sign, welcome to the US... The guy there, Yung, was asking me so many questions I was sure I wasnt going to be let in... only after I was putting y shoes and belt back on, like in jail, and mumbling to myself something about how crazy it is... did it occur to me that he actually let me in... gave me a 6 months visa to boot... do I look like a terrorist? Like my bro and I said, Catherine Tate should do a section, Lauren at US immigration... "are you calling me a terrorist?" "are you saying my dad is ben laden?" "are you saying I have a beard?" "Look, face bovered, beard, laden, face, bovered, I dot care becuse i aint even bovvered..." So I get into the country, fly about an hour to NYC, arrivo there... I love NYC, I love love love it so so so so much!!!
More on NYC and Toronro travels in the next edition
Going to sleep now after Thanksgiving Dinner with the family in Silver Spring...
