Oh Canada

It is roughly 12 degrees above 0 at this moment outside my hotel. It's April - why does anyone live in Canada?

On the plane ride this afternoon a rather large fellow was sitting next to me and purposefully 'mining for gold.' I felt like saying "Really? You're what, 50? Really? And in public?"

Quiznos at the airport isn't nearly as good as a regular Quiznos.

It took me over 30 minutes to get through Canadian customs. I don't understand this. I walked back into the US from Tijuana a year ago, and in England all I did was show my passport and customs form. Why is Canada so anal? It's not like anyone would really want to attack them, what would be the point?

From what I've been told it's going to be a rather slow week, but we only have to move hotels once, so it won't be bad. We'll find lots of great ways to entertain ourselves, though we are in Winnipeg...
