I was recently reminded of how terrifyingly fast the years speed by. Anne Murray has announced her latest coast-to-coast tour of Canada will be the last such tour of the coolest country on Earth she will perform. Sonja got us great tickets in Dope City and for her show on the Island. We will be close enough to the stage at both shows for me to throw my perfumed underwear lovingly at her feet. Anne Murray is the Tom Jones of Canada.
Today came another reminder of just how fast of a motorcycle mortality is. I brought the Cadillac in to get its snow tires installed. While the tire guys did their thing Sonja and I went for breakfast and discussed how we were going to get home from the Christmas party tonight. Looks like I will be doing the drinking and driving again. Like Sonja says, "You know you are the best drunk driver in Canada Beer." She might be right but I think it is that when people see the big black Cadillac, with the bottle of ice cold absinthe under the seat, swerving down the road like it is being driven by the headless ghost of Hunter S. Thompson, who grew up influenced by the mayhem of hockey instead of the Christian rigidness of football, they get out of the motherfucking way.
As America's ambassador to Canada Handsome Dick Manitoba says, "The party starts now!"

I had no idea Handsome Dick held that post. Will he be attending any of Anne Murray's performances?
Handsome Dick Manitoba was posted as America's ambassador to Canada shortly after it became America's official foreign policy to no longer two shits about us. Rumours of Handsome Dick performing a sultry duet of "I Got You Babe" with Anne abound. You know Anne and I know Dick: the two of them are full of surprises.
