for dinner... real chill... no family over... kids were with their mom... we ate pumpkin pie all weekend... oh and last night Shimmy made chocolate muffins...
personally I feel like turkey is punishment food but Shimmy loves it... I prefer roast beef and yorkshire puddings.

personally I'm just thankful they haven't killed us in revenge for everything done to them and the fact that I bought a townhouse on unceded territory (pretty much everything on the west coast)...

Christmas. for some reason that just gets people all stressed out.
and here in VA you never know what winter is gonna be like. like right now, mid october, it's hot, humid and muggy af. i'm ready for that humidity to break. but being in Chicago i can definitely see how and why you hate winter/cold months.

when I was a kid my mom bribed me with a whole pumpkin pie to myself to keep my room tidy for an entire month.... these days I don't really dig it.. everybody else does.

and that's still too early.
then again, that's also way too far north.
i guess they explained all of this to me in school.
like, when the Europes came over here by boat and saw the Caribbs in all of its tropical wonderful glory i don't get how they went back to living in the Game of Thrones style hell that was Europe. but...then again back then the Caribbs didn't have the trappings of even olde Europe. so that's a tough choice. and so when it was time to put down the roots and have a go at making a Euro-style life over here...they went up there b/c it was sorta a familiar climate but all of the stuff they really wanted was down there closer to the Equator. i just...i mean, i dunno. i feel like if this was me being an awful pillaging raping thieving motherfucking evil bastard i'd have focused further south. until i saw that wind/rain/cyclone shit come through every year. but...snow? SNOW??? ICE????? for 6 months? nah.
the problem for the Euros is by the time they found Southern Cali it was way late in the 'game'. b/c this is the shit they didn't even know they wanted until they found it.
of course, it was a desert. but they stole some water and made it work. thank goodness! god bless it. i'll stand for that shit. and put a hand over my heart and pour out some tears for the first nations.
goddamn.
stealing other ppl's land full of tough choices.
i wouldn't have chosen Canada is my point. not when Southern California (which was only Mexico for like a few minutes, really) was right there for the taking (Manifest Destiny and all that jazz).

that shit is weird to me.
I don't like cold weather but that's the one time I will allow it.
When I see folks in sandals in photos for Xmas that shit seems like a lie. Like it ain't really Xmas.

do we need another Chicago/NYC/SF (aka 'Toronto')?
do we need another SF/Seattle (aka 'Vancouver')?
we don't need another Houston (though the one we have now has water-damage so we might actually need another Houston) (aka 'Calgary')?
we already have Salt Lake City so what's Regina doing for us?
Quebec? ain't Louisiana enough trouble?
Montreal is cute, i hear. and way less drama than New Orleans. can we carve that out and have it? of course we can. we did it in East Germany bc we liked half of Berlin.
it's Manifest!
but they can keep the rest of Canada. we'll take Montreal.

none of my own stats off and then we had mandated fun/team building days during yours... the only good thing was time and a half for pay and sometimes the mandated fun days weren't bad sometimes you'd rather just work though.

cranberry stuffed turkey (punishment food in my book)
>What's the Canadian equivalent of Australia Day?
I don't think there is one really we have Canada day on July 1st but that's closer to an independence day which Australia also has Jan 1st along with the Australia Day which is like the 26th or something and about the first british ships arriving.
>What does PG and fam do on Boxing Day?
usually chill and clean up after Christmas... drive my kids back to their mother's... might consider shopping but usually not.
>Toronto is one of the grimiest places in the world but I love >it because of the kind hearted nature of people. > >What can America trade for Trudeau? Canada does not receive >Trump in any trade proposal now let's get these negotiations >started.
glad you'r not trying to pawn off el cheeto grande on us.... not sure it's worth or prime minister but I'd take some more concerts from a variety of different acts and a better boxing scene.. and something in the tropics or near tropics, we have nothing with really nice weather.
