Happy Birthday Alex!

Erin came back from her weeklong conference in Ottawa on Emotionally Focused Therapy (sounds intense doesn’t it?) and Jack, Winston and I met her at the train station. After a bunch of kisses, we headed off the Alex & Jen’s for yummy birthday BBQ. We arrived at their place (it’s new by the way… and it’s fabulous… if you’re ever there… be sure to check out the garden!) to a big fun group of people. The beers were good, the conversation was fun and food was fantastic! It was great to meet a bunch of Alex’s relatives. I also enjoyed watching the kids play a little bit of Grand Theft Auto on the Xbox… although it’s not a very appropriate game for kids. (*grin*) Beating up prostitutes is BAAAAD! (*grin*) Happy Birthday Alex!

What do two British tourists in Canada for their 2nd day and driving a motorhome on Princess Street have any thing to do with me? Well, it’s obvious. They crashed into my parked car. Erin was having a massage and had parked the car legally in a nice parking spot on Princess Street. Near the end of her massage she heard a car alarm go off. Minutes later when she was paying her bill, a man showed up at the door asking if anyone owned a blue Mazda Protegé5. Erin cringed. The driver side of the car was almost completely destroyed. The estimate for repairs came in at $5,000. OUCH! So this car has very bad luck. Readers may not know that I bought it in 2002 and three weeks after, my girlfriend at the time (not Erin!), smashed it to the tune of $3,800. So with this accident, we’re up to $8,800 of repairs. Yikes! Luckily, no one has ever been hurt in these accidents other than the vehicles… and I hope there are no more accidents in the future. Knock on wood!
