More traditions...

We didn't get home from Alice's sisters place until 3:30 am last night, it was fun. We anticipated a late night and had to meet with our lawyer today, so we wisely scheduled the meeting for the afternoon. On the way to the lawyers we stopped at VJ's for lunch, another Winnipeg food tradition, and had a VJ burger and fries. You just can't get that type of burger in Burlington, it was great.

After our meeting I decided to go for a run. I needed to burn off all those calories I've been eating. I knew this week was going to be all family, friends and food, so I'm not feeling too guilty. I've decided just to enjoy myself and savor the flavor. Heck, I'm on vacation and when I get back home I'll get back on the healthy eating track. VJ's is the gift that just keeps giving, on my run all I was doing was burping up my VJ burger.

Tonight we went out for dinner with Rich and Sharon, they took us to this great little Italian restaurant in Osborne Village. The food was amazing and getting there was also half the fun. We drove in Sharon's mom's big boat of a car for laughs, the outside all dinged and rusted up, we looked like we were on welfare. Those old cars have the most comfortable seats, it was like driving while sitting on a sofa. After dinner we went to the Norvilla, which is a neighborhood bar, it had bad Karma with lots of aggressive testosterone, so we left and went to Triple B's where we met up with my brother Bob, Rich's kids Paul and Davis and their friend Dylan. We closed down Triple B's and then went to my parents house for a few more cocktails. It was another late night. I'm glad we're leaving tomorrow because I don't know if I could take one more day of eating, drinking and late nights.
