A.D.D. Post

Yesterday was so long. Gerry won and lost $600 on the machines. He got drunk twice. Had the beer on the plane been warm, I would have been drunk twice too. There were five people on the plane from goose bay to wabush. Three of them were simplex grinnell employees. It was a great surprise to see Craig sitting on the plane when we boarded. I ran on the luggage conveyor while we waited for the luggage to come out. That's another task off my life's to-do list.
I'm at the hospital now. I have a chest infection. The guy I stay with has the stomach flu. I assure you I'll contract that as well in a few days.
My birthday is this week and I couldn't care less. I think my 29th birthday was my peak. Drinking champagne in a tropical climate, seeing bats as big as gulls, snakes that are "very dangerous, sir" and the best pizza I've ever tasted. The only thing that could top that would be when the wife does that thing she does after she drinks a lot of red wine.
She doesn't drink much wine anymore. Not because she doesn't like it. It's because she was knocked up. Then she wasn't knocked up for a while. Then she got twice as knocked up as before.

They call me Peter Rabbit here in Labrador now because of my reproductive habits.

I gotta go get drugs from a doctor now

Back to the scene of the crime

I'm in goose bay. I spent some time here back in 2008. I was miserable then. I want to get out of this place just as eagerly as I did back then (albeit for different reasons).
I spent an hour it more at the bar where I met Sharon. Sharon wanted to have 27 babies with me. I blogged about it back then. She didn't give me 27 babies but she tried to give me something that all my close friends like to poke fun at me for. If I saw bob Neville today, I'd thank him for dragging me out of there and putting me in the cab. I still owe Pam a beer from that night. She was a friendly bartender (read obese) at the place we were staying at. We stayed at a bar that had a few rooms for rent behind it. That wouldn't fly at the company I work for now.
I've decided to start writing in my blog again after reading Sarah's blog the other night and recalling certain events of our courtship (some of which I had totally forgotten about).
It makes working on the road a lot easier

P.S. I have a daughter now. She is adorable and she looks like me. No wonder Sarah loves her so much
