the farther you get

i find lunch a hassle. the act of eating i don't really have a problem with, but here at the old salt mine, the thought of going at 1 p.m. and getting into my car and driving somewhere for lunch just slays me. some days i just go the couch and lay down for an hour and feel better for it - sure, i'm still hungry but i didn't have to go anywhere. get in the car, drive to XX restaurant, order, wait, eat, drive back...good god it sucks.
today at lunch i had every intention of staying on the couch but remembered that 'he who can not be named on the blog' needed to use my car to move a few things and i've had a slow leak in the front tire so i went over to kal-tire and got that taken care of...(for free i may add...good guys them kal-tire kids...) while that was being sorted away i walked over to bosa to get a sandwich - today's special panini a turkey and bacon number with a spicey red pepper spread..nice. while hossing down on the sandwich i ran into some old pals from my citr radio days, gord and erica. they were dates back then and are still together - wow. kind of amazing...and good on 'em. gord's one of those guys who could grow a beard in a few hours. maybe one of the hairiest guys i've ever seen - well maybe al thurgood was hairier...it's a close call. funny how, too, some people seem so much older than yourself even though we're basically the same age....maybe i need to grow-up.
fuck that.
nice to see them though.
i also spoke with my good pal marc belke today. i hadn't talked to him for a while so i decided today was the day. he's up in smithers cutting his teeth in the world of radio and probably doing a great job..he admits it's a little lonely sometimes and that there's not as much to do as in the big city but it's a beautiful part of the world - god's country doncha know....as a kid i played hockey up there - litimat, terrace, burns lake and prince rupert as well....i learned to chew tobacco in kitimat. he's a good man that muc...i miss him so it was nice to talk to him today. head-up buddy the ski hill opens soon....

have fun today.
