Off like a herd of turtles.
I am off on a wondrous and magical adventure to...

Quebec. I will be leaving work in about 20 minutes, then leaving on the train not too long after that. Never been on a train before, so it will be an experience to be sure. I have my camera, so I will try to take pictures and perhaps even post some up here for those interested. I will also be making updates from my BlackBerry, so there's that as well. Isn't technology great?

Still, I have yet to figure out what I will be doing. Yes, I could just go bar-hopping in downtown Montreal and QC, but the thing is that I'm really not a bar person. I don't particularly like the dark, smoky, loud, oppressive atmosphere, and furthermore, I'm not really a go-out-and-meet-people type. If I do go out, it's with friends to socialize, and to that end, I like my get-togethers in places where you can actually see and hear the people you're with. (For example, the diner is a great example of such a place. Patios are another.) Essentially what I'm getting at is that I would be clueless and misplaced when dropped in a bar on my own. If I were just looking to find an easy Montreal babe and hook up for the weekend, it would be another story, but that's not my goal. Just looking for a good time. We'll have to see what happens.

In another, unrelated note, I am going to be signing up for the City Chase, and that looks like loads of fun. I will expound more as the event, y'know, happens.
