One of the last posts to ever be categorized as “Waterloo”
May 14th, 2008
It’s been a beautiful two days in Waterloo (this morning is rainy – it was bound to happen). Just driving into the city made me remember how much I love summer, particularly in this little town. I have though semi-seriously more than once of adjusting my San Francisco choice back to the little office in Waterloo.
But as much as the sweet scents of summer try, Waterloo can’t help but feel a little empty. Don’t get me wrong, it was wonderful to come back to Trish, and to sit down on the Ethel’s patio with Gee. The offical Trev-manda wedding will also be enjoyable. But Waterloo itself feels wrong. Did you ever go back to your old elementary or highschool after you had graduated? You know that feeling that, despite nothing being that different, you just didn’t really belong there anymore? I guess Waterloo feels a bit like that. Its time too, has come.
It’s all got me feeling a bit nostalgic and it likely will until I get back on the road, this time bound for Saskatoon. It’s looking less and less likely that a two day trip, but I’ll see how many hours I can knock off on the first day. If my Maritime trip has proved anything, it’s that I’m a marathon driver.
I leave you with a Canadian commercial I spotted yesterday that has been getting a fair bit of press (1) (2). It’s a certain kind of genius.

Nah, they’re already bound from home and should be there in a day or two. I won’t be hitting the road till the 19th so I likely won’t be back until the 21st-22nd
