a general lack of sleep and the big smoke



last night, after the bombers beat the wild boars - a team sponsored by the irish heather because when i think the irish, i think of hockey - i headed home to do some laundry and got my shit together to head to the big smoke. i think i may have gotten two hours sleep before i headed out at 5:30 this morning with little more than a day old smoothie in me...the airport was, well, the airport and for some reason when i finally got on the plane the heat on-board made me start sweating like a serial killer. it would not stop. it finally let up which probably made the woman next to me relax a bit and stop thinking i had a bomb strapped to me. the kid in front of me was a tad annoying. he liked to, occasionally, slam his head and/or body against his seat thus making my side of the seat buck and move...awesome. i wanted to put him in a headlock, take him to the bathroom and force feed him ritlan. i, instead, put my knee into the back of his seat just enough to iss him off....not all the time, just enough.
i met paul "crazy legs" forgues at the airport and we went and got our van from the budget rent a car...a rockin' mini van and soon after we were whisking our way to the ramada close to downtown to meet jerry and sort out the rest of our day. we also saw byron who has been here since saturday and has been staying with friends but is now a ramada man.
paul and i went out and found some coffee at a place we both like at spadina and queen street and then walked around queen street, where i bought a new hat - because i needed a new lid, yo! and then over to yonge street where we ran into craig (quite by accident) who was doing a radio interview.
then, after a harvey's burger and such, back to the ramada..i'm tired.
tomorrow i may see bill baker (tattoo bill not mint bill...) as well as drop by magic pony and rapp eyewhere...
say hey!
