Day Nine...

Today (as in yesterday) was quite relaxing. The morning was spent mostly sitting in front of the Ventura's TV. Jesse spent the morning returning Tuxedos and the like. Becca and Ramlin were wandering around the house, Becca because it's her house, Ramlin...I don't quite know why. She had crashed at Becca's because it 4 o clock before anyone thought about bed the previous day. She said she was going to leave in the morning, but 11 o clock, she was still here, her Honda hanging around in the drive. More about Honda's later.


Albert was at work, but he needed to return the rental car. It took hum 3 and a half hours to get it there and back which meant his sneaking out of the garage (where he works) didn't go unnoticed. He worked late.

Jesse, Rob, Becca, Judy & I set off for the church to return the rented stuff from Chair-man Mills in the middle of a snow storm. Jesse put on Casino Royale in the car because he was pretty confident it would take a while. A snow storm that had started about 1, didn't stop until 4 and cause over 2 feet of snow to build up all over Toronto. Downtown was in mayhem. I had a feeling as we got closer to the center our masculine skills (that's Jesse, Rob & Me) would be asked for, and I wasn't wrong. A street car could get past a badly party Honda so we had to slide it, in the snow, over to the side of the road. Favour number one. There weren't any more but I'll start numbering them from yesterday seeing as it was the first of March.

After piling stuff into the car we (Jesse, Rob & I) headed over to Chair-man Mills. It was an adventure I'm telling you. We set off at 4, got to Yonge (which is the street that splits the city in two) about 8, and we were constantly on the phone with Louis, who said he'd hang around after 6 (when they were suppose to get there) until 9...and then 11. Funny.

On our way Jesse was getting cranky, so he sent me out to get some sausages. I went to a corner stall and bought three awesome spicy sausages. They were very good. The guy on the stand had been there since 5 in the morning, and that didn't alter his attitude; he was smiling away like some kind of crazy. It took about 5-10 minutes for the sausages to cook, and the car had moved 5-10 feet. Great.

In higher spirits, and after hitting the clearer roads, higher speeds we finally got to Mills about half 9. Rob & I finished watch James Bond on the way home, and it was all really bonding time with Jesse.

We shoveled snow for a while, we watched friends, we told everyone about our mini (8 hour) adventure in heavy snow.

I ate some toast and went to bed.

Another perfect day.
