The Ottawa Rabbit Hole

I don't feel like posting a huge blog about the rest of my trip out West since I am so far behind. I had a great time visiting with family and friends, bought a lot of stuff and watched Mission: Impossible III on the flight home. You can check out all the pictures from my trip in my shutterfly collections at http://ottawarabbithole.shutterfly.com or click this direct link to that album.

After I got back on Friday night, I got a bit of stuff in order and then Saturday afternoon I hightailed it up to Mullins' new cottage in Quebec. Thanks to his incredible map I made it without too many missteps. The weather on Saturday was great and I got in a bit of lobsterizing and relaxing. I was at one with nature so I took some photos to rival BvT. Unfortunately Sunday was cold and rainy, but we made up with it with an old fashioned game of stick ball.

Sunday and Monday night I just chilled out, unpacked a bit, got groceries and caught up on some TV. Getting back to work has been tough after two weeks off, but I'll get back into the swing of things soon enough. After work today I visited Dr. Acula and dropped a pint of blood for Canadian Blood Services and ate a delicious blueberry fritter as my reward. Afterwards, I met up with Mullins, A-Train and the Ertlbachs for some delicious burgers at the Works. We were not suckers and didn't fall for the tower of rings, but the A-Train did sucker himself into a vanilla milkshake which didn't sit well at the end of the night.

After dinner we headed out to the east end to watch our Ottawa Lynx take on the hated rivals the Pawtucket Red Sox. It was a nice back and forth game, but the most enjoyment came from the usual mocking of other people in attendance. I think in the end the Lynx crushed the Paw-Sox 8-4 or something. I was too busy thinking about getting home to blog the game to pay attention.
