Here's a weekend summary: Friday: Left Montreal pretty early after having gone to "Parking" (club) the night before with the housemates. Parking isn't technically a "gay" bar, but I did feel like I was in a QAF episode. Julie picked me up at the Winnipeg Airport after a long and unproductive, non-direct flight. That evening, I took both sisters to Earl's on main to see all of the Winnipeg friends. No celebs were spotted there, even though J. Lo. and Richard Gere were in town (as the front page of the Winnipeg Free Press reminds us every day) Walked around the forks, saw Caroline's new Kona, then went to Bar Italia where Rea was working. Saturday: Worked out at the YMCA downtown with Jackie, returned to Earl's on main for lunch with my Dad, met Julie and friends at Wolsley street festival and chilled for a while in the beer tent. Spent the evening playing cards with Mom. Sunday: Spend $300 at the mall on new shirt, tie, shoes, pants, belt for grad, did Andrea's birthday bbq, watched "Hollywood Homicide" with dad, AJ's for trivial pursuit and Coronas. Monday: Relived pretty much the entire grad ritual. Took pictures at the school, sat through the church service, watched the throwing hats, ate the dinner and listened to the tributes. I was recruited by the grad. organizers to deal blackjack at the safe-grad after-party between 3-5AM, so I hung out with AJ until 3AM then headed over to the hall. Of course, all the kids were too busy drinking and dancing to be interested in blackjack, so I just sat there looking uncool with the parents (who couldn't learn blackjack to save their lives). Tuesday: Lunch with AJ and Jam, then got back on the plane.
