Trippage

I am back now, finally. What a trip it was. Weather was actually working in my favour for most of it, hit a bit of an ice storm on the south coast of Ontario.. Friday night? I think it was Friday, a bit lost as to day/time. Bit slippery over bridges, but all in all it was ok. Got done what I needed to do and then hit Cleveland to see family.

It was good, saw Uncle Warren which is a tad unusual. Got everyone's trees up and decorated. Watched a lot of Pawn Stars and spent more time in the car. Saw my brother work as an Elf at Santa's Workshop. He was less than happy, but it's a job. Gotta bunch of pictures again, but I'll be damned if this box has a card plugin thing and I don't have a usb cord.

Ate some really bad food, they don't believe in spices and everything was horrid Ohio bland. My dad also keeps his house at 58F constantly, so I spent the entire time at the equivelent of winter shed temperature. But... some nice newer venues in Cleveland. Decent booking agents and the scouting all went well.

Ended up going to Sweeties, a candy warehouse in addition to my favourite wine shop. OMG, sugar. They had sassafras hard candy. Yum yum. And michigan cherries. There goes my diet, thanks dad.

Car has started to make a funny noise though, and it certainly needs a transmission flush. Can't put it off much longer.

Have everyone's things wrapped and the stockings are done up. Doing that with the inlaws on Friday. I'll remember the asprin this year as it's always a headache.

William set up my electronic drums in the dining room so I can play anytime I want. He also got the 1010 working again. I should go away on short trips more often.

I fear it will take me a few days to get more coherent and able to speak in more than two sentance paragraphs. I just am having a hard time getting my thoughts together and remembering what I did and when I did it and what I can talk about. That and my guts are acting up. Bllurgh.
