- No matter how many different ways Buzz said "no really, we'd just like a burger when we get in" his mom still prepared and served an eight-course meal twice in the 10 hours we were there.
- You can indeed have burgers 4 days out of 10 and live to tell about it. Although your belly will be so bloated someone will ask "when are you due?"
- The Gravenhurst Chip Truck beats all others
- My three cousins are the funniest women I know. Seriously. Pity anyone trying to get a word in edgewise with those broads.
- I have finally reached the point where getting into a bathing suit in front of others doesn't intimidate me. Mostly because I'm so fat no one would actually look at me in the bathing suit, so if they don't notice why should I?
- Having your camera crap out on the 4th day of the 15 day trip is a huge drag. Now there's no way to torture my camera-shy nephew.
- Back roads beat the Trans-Canada hands down every time.
- Despite having some slightly addictive personality traits I will never be an alcoholic because after drinking every day for the last 10 I can now "just say no".
- Water-softener is slippery as is evidenced by the ginormous bruise on my shin from slipping out of the bathtub.
- I was a really bad babysitter as is evidenced by a story I had no recollection of that involved babysitting my 13 & 15 year old cousins whom I provided each with a pack of smokes and let them go "streaking" through the neighborhood while I was upstairs fast asleep. Note to parents who read my blog: I am a very bad babysitter. Do not hire me.
Next stop: Jingle City where we will alternate riding in the bro-in-law's boat on the Mighty St. Lawrence with tracking Hurricane Bill, a Category 4 storm making tracks directly for the OBB.
