It's Friday and I'm not going into to work today. Instead, I'm headed North to the land of poutine, back bacon, government run liquor stores, and endless wonder. That's right kiddies, Uncle SkinnyFish is headed to Canada! I'll be crossing the border in Niagra Falls sometime this afternoon before a stop off in Toronto on my way to the Kawartha Lakes region.
Then it's three days of enjoyment celebrating May 24, with a two-four of beer of course, before I head back South to the outskirts of NYC. Hopefully good times will be had and I won't see a reason to have the Army invade your country. Seriously, I have that power. So you Canucks better be nice to me during my visit, or else Uncle Sam will be pissed.
