• Nuahah!  I'm back!  And, like, alive and in one piece and not terribly smelly and stuff!  (Though the last was kind of a stroke of good fortune.) 

  Missed...a lot of things.  Internet.  I was very, very sad indeed to discover that apparently the only place with internet access in all of Nova Scotia was actually in Cape Breton, at the Campsite at the End of the Universe, and of course I didn't have my computer with me. 

  I hope everything's going well up there in Oklahoma - I hear they weren't proceeding as smoothly as they might. 

  Things I should elaborate on later, but am currently too interested in water, food, and standing to do so:

  1. Newark, NJ. Twice.
  2. "They don't eat here! Or drink!"
  3. Coke shooters and fruity faces.
  4. Pretty potatoes that aren't.
  5. "Her Long Golden Hair Fell Down Her Back, And The Colour Of Her Hair Was Black"
  6. Breton Dancing
  7. The Happy Irishman vs. The Stinking Smelly Scotsman
  8. HuuHWHOOOMhuuHWHOOMhuuHWHOOM...
  9. Meatloaf and Universal Encoders of Musical Knowledge
  10. Butt-Time
  11. Gold-Digging
  12. Good-Smelling Wood
  13. Newfoundland Wal-Marts, and the Dangers of Not Looking at a Map
  14. The Campground at the End of the Universe
      - Coin-operated Showers
      - Don't Panic
      - 42
      - The Complete and Total Lack of Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters
      - The Honeymoon Suite
      - Five Lonely Bottles of Beer On the Wall, and an Expensive Coke
      - Who Has the Keys?
  15. The Happy Pirate
      - "Aur aur aur aur aur!"
      - Our Dolphins are Better than Your Dolphins
      - The Cop That Runs
      - Happy Captains
  16. McLobster
  17. Bob
  18. "No soap or water - eight days!"
  19. X-Stream Boat Races
  20. The Stinky Pink Truck

  So all in all, Canada was awesome. If Kevin Crawford goes to Swannanoa again next year, we're going there, but at some point I would love to hit Boxwood again - and next time, spend the second week in Cape Breton (home of the Campground at the End of the Universe), with possibly a day or two in Lunenberg to hit the Knot Pub and take a cruise on the Bluenose II. (My only major regret about the whole trip, aside from the obvious, but really, forty bucks is kinda stiff for a circle of the harbor... But if it was just me, I'd go gladly ^^) And now - off to find some ice water, attempt to talk the 'rents into turning on the AC tonight, and dig out my laptop!
