Kenora to Ottawa (I’ve stopped counting km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 19th, 2003
Felt better on the morning of the 18th. In fact, when darkness fell, I just kept driving. I drove through the night, only stopping in the early morning for a quick nap before arriving in Ottawa. On my way out of Kenora, I finally got the speeding ticket I’d been expecting the entire way across Read the full article…
Saskatoon to Winnip… uh, Kenora (998 km)
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on August 17th, 2003
Felt better this morning. This means nothing, of course. Got to Winnipeg and drove back and forth on the main drag, trying to find internet access to check my email for a message for Kathy regarding a possible friend’s place where I could crash. No luck. Kathy wasn’t home, and her voicemail was full, so Read the full article…

Felt better this morning. Two Imodium seemed to have solidified the situation. Stopped at a PetroCanada being run by two teenagers. Full serve, one came out to fill the tank while the other ran the shop. As the first one was cleaning my windshield, he noticed that the pump wasn’t working, despite the fact that Read the full article…
Banff to Calgary (130 km)

Felt better this morning. Once on the road I realized that I wasn’t. You know when you go to fart, and then just as the fart is crowning you feel the wet squelch of something that is not a fart getting ready to make a run for it? This was my thankfully-short trip to Calgary. Read the full article…
Banff to… Banff (0 km)

Dizzy. Headache. Still got the trots. After a failed attempt to feel better over some breakfast I retreated to bed where I stayed for the entire day, excepting frequent trips to the john for loud, violent bouts of Montezuma’s Revenge Bec was a good sport, but spent most of her day off dealing with a Read the full article…
Vancouver to Banff (820 km)

Day one on my cross-country drive from Vancouver to Ottawa. Arrived at my friend Bec’s place in Banff and we went for Mexican. After the day’s diet of chocolate bars and potato chips, it seemed a welcome change. In retrospect, I don’t know if my life has ever taken a turn for the better after Read the full article…
Going, Going, Gone

Had my going away party tonight. Dave generously offered his house (equipped with hot-tub, coy pond with pissing boy statue, and croquet pitch) and it was great to have a chance to see everybody before I left. Don’t worry, I’ll be back before you know it.
A Note About Getting the Worm

I hate the morning. Maybe that’s because I also love the night, and have a tendency to stay up too late. Last night, my temporary roommate Eddie (or, more correctly, the new permanent roommate) came home around midnight, loaded to the gills. We had a couple beers and tried to get his PlayStation2 working, but Read the full article…

My Life as a Box
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 27th, 2003
It is done. With the exception of my clothes and my office gear, my entire life is packed into a 400 cubic-foot wooden crate behind my apartment building. Finally the feeling of going is starting to set in. And the feeling of how the hell I’m going to fit what’s left into Charlie, my Toyota Read the full article…
