O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. (123/365)
Ahhhh Canada. Being from Michigan and growing up less than an hour from the border, I've had the kind of access to Canada that many Americans don't. See, here when we turn 19, it's time to celebrate because we can drive across the border to Windsor and drink in the bars. Or, if you'd rather, sometimes we simply get lost on our way home from Red Wings games and accidentally find ourselves on the Ambassador Bridge on our way into Ontario where we then have to explain to the border guard that we are simply trying to get some dinner at Chicken Chalet. We also get constant access to the Candaian television station CBC, which, if you're a hockey fan (which we all are here in the Detroit area), means that you get Hockey Night in Canada and Coach's Corner with Don Cherry. I don't know any of my friends who voluntarily chooses to watch hockey on any channel other than CBC. Much better commentating.
So, Happy Canada Day to all of my Canuck friends (and there are many!). Thank you for the great beer (Labatt Blue), great sports (hockey and curling), great music (who didn't love Alanis Morissette in her prime?), and mostly for the great people. :)
365 Days (self portraits): Day 92
FGR & TRP: Happy Canada Day, Canucks!
TOTW: Accessorize: these cat eye glasses always make me think of Lisa Loeb.
