It was a nice weekend at the cottage, filled with movie watching, obscenities, meat eating, frisbee throwing, a very cold beach, scrabble playing and trackmarks! Those are Adrian's trackmarks, and they aren't from his heavy intravenous drug usage -- he is taking some medical laboratory course and they get to practice pricking each other with needles!!! WOW that sounds like SOOOO much fun!!! That movie is the Big Lebowski, and you may be able to make out the closed captioning in the movie. It says "Get the fuck out of the car". Yeah, great timing. The beach was very cold. It was maybe 14 degrees on the roads, and probably 6-8 on the beach and VERY windy. Some beachfront stores were actually open, and we overheard one lady saying they hadn't made a sale all day.

Monopoly. We all had some sets and everyone had some houses or hotels. Everything seemed equal. But then everyone started landing on David's orange properties and he started getting rich. Soon we were giving him our properties because we had no money. In the end, all those hotels are David's and he kicked butt. You go David! he deserved a moment of glory in a weekend that was shadowed by a drive into a ditch, a $200 tow, a 3am arrival, a $50 tow and the dealership charging for blow drying the computer that got waterlogged (but it got the car working, the monkeys at Canadian Tire didn't know what to do).

The ride home. You can take Airport Road from Wasaga right into Toronto. It is a fast, twisty and fun drive, and would be much more fun on a motorcycle than in a car. A hour and a half or so from Wasaga to Oakville so the cottage really isn't very far.
