The Mountain Wins Again

Years ago while preparing for a trip to Magic Mountain, North whipped himself up into a near orgasmic fury, brimming with excitement at the prospect of hitting the water at Magic Mountain water park (and possibly at the thought of all those MILFs being good parents). He was so excited that his condition became known as Magic Mountain syndrome. So to this day when someone's excitement levels reach a fever pitch we tend to diagnose them with Magic Mountain syndrome. In the past few weeks I personally have been struck with Magic Mountain on at least four occasions. Fortunately for you I have pictures to prove it.

The first was Dave Skead's bachelor party. A good crew of us headed to Fundy for a round of golf and tour of the Bay with a Shark fishermen. Alas we found no sharks but listening to this guy talk was worth the price we paid (and then some!). Good times. No stories though...sorry ;)The next week Nicki arrived home and that coincided with Jackson arriving on PEI. Davey told us that he was unlikely to be making it home to Freddy and that if we wanted to see him we had to come to PEI. We didn't really want to but PEI is nice so we went to Mom's place for a visit. Dave was nice enough to pay us a visit. We had an great time and spent a number of hours on the beach deciding how to change the world and then some time swimming where we forgot all of them. As always Mom and Sam were wonderful hosts.We arrived back from PEI and went back to work. After a short week we played a game in Belleisle and I felt compelled to add that piece just so I could share this picture of the view from their clubhouse. It might be the second best clubhouse at which to enjoy a beer in Canada.The next day we planned another little canoe outing down the Saint John River. We put in just below the damn and took out at the bucket club. We went down the North Side of the river which was beautiful but quite a bit slower then the South Side. Because we didn't get started until late (which really exacerbated the MMS) we didn't get off the river until almost dark. It did make the pictures that much nicer though. Finally, on Monday night, I finally managed to get down Grand Lake to spend some QT there. Geoff and Lindsay joined Erin and I for a bonfire on the beach and we watched the tail end of the Meteor shower that peaked the night before. I wish this final picture was my own but I would be lying. So as you can see, the past few weeks I have been busy ripping around the province having some good times. If you (anyone?) have noticed a slip in production around here that is to blame. I'll try and be more diligent ;)

Pace out.
