Allow me to wish you all a Happy Canada Day. If you’re in Canada, enjoy your fireworks and barbecue and what-have-you, and enjoy being in one of the best countries on Earth!
As for myself, I guess I’ll just have to bring some Canadian flag-decorated paraphenalia into the office today and be quitely patriotic. Whoo-hoo!
Thanks! I’ve FINALLY found some fellow Canadians, so they will be coming over for a pot-luck dinner after we go to the Canadian Embassy in DC for some ALBERTA BEEF. Yay!
Fireworks, yes. Barbecue, parties, lots of concerts. Some of the bigger cities put together celebrations; Ottawa always has a decent-sized event on Parliament Hill, for example.
Well, I’m just a holiday piker then aren’t I? My plans for the Fourth of July are to sit in my big floaty chair in the pool and drink beer all afternoon. And char meat on a grill of course.
Grilled meat, fremented drink, feet up while watching trupa and trusquirt play outdoors in the sandbox , with a chorus or two of O Canada and some flag waving … ah, this is the life.
I have a celebratory sign up in my cubicle today. I printed out the outline of a Canadian flag and colored it in with a white board marker. Underneath the flag, it says
Happy Canada Day!
(It’s like the 4th of July, only Canadian)
Well, nothing really, I thought I should patriotic it up a bit. Then I remembered I bought some sparklers the other day! I’ll light up a sparkler and run around with it for a minute or two. Then I’ll be all patriotic! OOH! And watermelon. I need watermelon too!
Wait, I’m not old enough. Darn it. Nobody in my neighbourhood is probably going to be getting any sleep tonight because of fireworks. It happens every year because we’re about three blocks from our regional City Hall. Hopefully, I’ll be able to go there to watch the fireworks.
