what do you mean there’s a 4 am

// December 15th, 2009 // Uncategorized

So today reaffirmed the belief that being a Canadian is a good thing even if we don’t toot our own horns. Andre and I headed to Ottawa yesterday shot some pics at night and then off to Montana’s for a steak dinner and a beer afterwards. In the morning we headed to the pickup spot which is in front of the Terry fox statue in front of Parliament.

Andre with a smile that was from ear to ear was runner 7 and number one was a injured vet whom had brought the MP that saved his life from overseas. He talked about the incident that took his leg, being a proud solider and a fellow Canadian. Even some tourist at 5 am snuggled up to him for some pics.

I waited for Andre at the second last checkpoint and watched to poor number 8 who was a model for the campaign and the school kids gathered for photo ops and question periods. Andre then treated me to Dunns for breakfast and we headed home.

Tonight the flame came to Kingston and the town was out in force celebrating it’s arrival. From the dance studio to Queen’s cheer squad everyone had the spirit. Even the native with the smudge pot burning some weed. So like I said another great day to be Canadian.

Time for the meds and some quiet time Good NIght.
