A true Canadian

... is someone who can make love in a canoe.

I was told that once by a Cowboy Junkie.

Goddamn huge, wide, heavy things.

Any normal person could do it, I'm sure.

Anyways, after weeks of Kijiji-stalking, we found an old sixteen footer, with lovely wooden trim and the original seats still intact.

Not so sure we'll be portaging it through the wilderness anytime soon.

But it'll be great for fishing and camping. And pottering round Chocolate Lake spying on the neighbours.

So, yard cleaned up .... check.

Washer toss game unearthed from under the doorstep ... check.

New garden chairs .... check.

Lake canoe ... check.

Let the summer commence.
