Up way too early this morning. I kept waking up in a most annoying fashion.
Flight was ok. Must have requested exit row, which was nice, if
surprising. I didn't feel so hot when I got to winnipeg, so imy
suitcase trailed around baggage claim long enough to be rescued by a
westjet employee.
I watched a mom say goodbye to her daughters who were boarding the
plane to winnipeg with their grandparents - she was a westjet employee
and kept saying she'd see them tomorrow. It made me think of the
horrible scene I witnessed in minneapolis in January - as long as I
live I'll see those kids crying their eyes out wrapped up in their
mum's arms.
I will cease to speak of it, because it would not do to begin weeping
amongst the combine talkin' farmers in the Perkins I have landed in.
I need to get a new gps. My current one randomly decides when it can
find satellite reception, oddly enough this appears to function best
when buried under the passenger seat of the lincoln I have rented. (I
don't recall requesting a pimp mobile, but perhaps car club membership
bumped me up a grade in addition to skating me past all the poor
schmucks who don't know how to skip through lines). Anyway, new gps.
I have my blackberry too, so all is not entirely lost if I don't find
a gps I like for a reasonable price.
Winnipeg is kind of pretty, but the bits I have seen have been what I
would call shabby. Not as much ignorant building of shiny new
buildings as in edmonton, perhaps?
Am eating french toast this morning. Cannot wait. Hit my head on the
trunk of the car. Car has air conditioning for your ass. Am
mystified by this. Also, cannot work out how to work the radio so
moved on to ipod.
Will shop today, I think. Check in to hotel as soon as humanly
possible. Sleep before game, which starts at 630 local time. Wonder
what my seat will be like, how much beer and hot dog will cost and if
my team will win. I shall report in later, after a trip to the
canadian mint.
Whee!
