Small steps

I'm about to head out to nosh at Montreal's most famous "smoked meat" establishment - Schwartz's. The ambiguously named smoked meat, for the uninitiated, is a Montreal delicacy that's sorta-kinda (but not really) corned beef. I tried it at a lesser, tourist-y deli on Ste. Catherine the last time I was in town, and was profoundly underwhelmed. ( Read more... )

Your haiku had me in TEARS! The humor comes from its truth.

What an apt album cover choice. I truly feel like the rain dog stumbling back home. It's good to be back.

And bonjour to you!

Only eight weeks in a bilingual country and already I'm a polyglot. Impressive, oui?

You're back, eep! Now don't leave again :-)!

Sounds like an interesting time in Montreal. I've always wanted to go. My dad loves it up there. Speaking of TV on the Radio, I was offered free tickets to their show last month, but stupid me pulled a couple of muscles at the gym that week. Which meant standing for long periods of time to be unbearable. Ugh!

I'll try not to, I promise! It felt good to write again, so hopefully the therapeutic aspect will keep me coming back.

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear that you missed the show. You're absolutely right, though - any ache or pain is compounded exponentially by standing around in a tightly packed venue. My knees were screaming at me the entire performance, which is yet another cross to bear for aging hipsters like myself.

Yay! Slee is back! I'm so happy to see you posting again -- don't be a stranger, sir!

It's good to be back (and to be missed!)

I did a triple take when I saw your name on my friends page! Don't ever leave us like that again!

::Hugs you for a long time; gets disapproving look from Christine::

I look forward to more tales from that wacky country up north!

My neuroses always manage to block me just when it would be ideal to have a creative outlet/support group. Screw them, I say! Hopefully I can fight through the paralysis and ennui and write something entertaining.

Please don't find this creepy, but I was thinking about you and Janelle the other day when I was actually in the same state as the two of you. Granted, I was about 7 hours away in Lake Placid, but still, very cool.

I've missed your virtual hugs! Your virtual hair still smells terrific. Virtually.
