Welcome to Canada, it's the Maple Leaf State.
Canada, oh Canada it's great!
The people are nice and they speak French too.
If you don't like it, man, you sniff glue.
The Great White North, their kilts are plaid,
Hosers take off, it's not half bad.
I want to be where yaks can run free,
Where Royal Mounties can arrest me.
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Si Vous Plait.
They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs,
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs!
We all think it's kind of a drag,
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag.
They say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh?"
That's the mighty power of Canada.
I want to be where lemmings run into the sea,
Where the marmosets can attack me.
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Si Vous Plait.
Please, please, explain to me,
How this all has come to be,
We forgot to mention something here.
Did we say that William Shatner is a native citizen?
And Slurpees made from venison,
That's deer.
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Si Vous Plait.

Gotta love Five Iron Frenzy, old school...

Weekend was decent. 1 movie, 1 nice less-awkward-than-expected social outing that made me nostalgic for St. John's / philosophy / philosophers / conversation / seminar / fellowship / understanding / Texas, 1 visit to Chipotle, scrubbing the kitchen linoleum, 1 walk at midnight (with my furry friend), reading (more AK and Don't Waste Your Life), being cold, 1 lunch at Fazoli's, practicing clarinet (egads!!!)... and that's about it.

Thinking about families. I'll blame all the pregnant women I know. The tally is up to 10, I think. I'm losing track. Heck, I'm even having dreams about being pregnant! Talk about bizarre. It really needs to stop.

A year from now I will remember when it was 60 degrees F in KY on a day in January, and I drove home from work with the sunroof and windows down and pulled out my sunglasses... and that same day it was -20 degrees F in Belarus. yikes.
