This weekend, following the Toronto Festival of Beer, Mary and I headed up to Baysville to spend some quality time with Craig, Cheryl, and their three youngsters. We missed the chance to visit the cottage last year – something I’ve done just about every year for a long, long time – so it was great to get back up. There’s not much in life more relaxing than time on a lake in Muskoka.
We relaxed a bit on Saturday when we finally got up there, and Sunday we headed in for a short visit to Huntsville. Too short as they closed everything about 30 minutes after we go there, luckily after we’d snagged some Yog’s. Craig and I were on the same page with the Peanut Butter Rolo. They had Rolo right beside it, which begged the question, who would see Peanut Butter Rolo and say “no, no.. actually, I’ll have the ordinary Rolo.” I really don’t get people.
Samantha and Justin are growing up quickly, lots of fun to play with, although Justin was a little ill and justifiably cranky from time-to-time. Baby Ethan – or Baby Wheat Thins as he’s come to be known – spent almost the entire 48 hours sleeping, which was awesome. Wish I had that kind of commitment.
The good news is I ended two streaks at once with one cast of a Mepps Aglia Long on Saturday. Took in a small Largemouth Bass which ended my shutout in 2006, but more importantly, my shutout on Craig’s lake. I’ve been up there fishing for many, many moons and that was the first time I finally pulled one in. All those hours watching Cronzy are paying off.
Tonight’s the two-hour season finale of Hell’s Kitchen, and I’m havin’ me a little party. Talk to y’all tomorrow!
