farewell, eh
Thanks everyone for coming to my bon voyage dinner and driving so far. You can be consoled knowing that in the next month, you won’t be driving as far as me, and at least you’ll get some photos from cool places you can view from the comfort of your laptops instead of from the wintry arctic vantage point from which they were taken.
Thanks also for all the cool surprise gifts! The AAA membership will of course be useful for getting a ride after I burn my rental car in Halifax with Hendrix blasting in the background, while I can use the journal to document the big smoke and fire, and the little navigator stuffed teddy I save from the wreckage will be invaluable for smuggling all that aspirin-codeine across the border. You people have thought of everything.
I’d like to also remind you that if I call you from a Canadian prison, the exchange rate is still pretty good so you have no excuse not to bail me out, other than the fact that maybe one time I didn’t come to one of your parties and then in that case you have to at least give me a chance to redeem myself.
Onward, to the land of hockey and maple syrup and guys who ride horses. I’ll write!
