Ten things I miss about Canada.

Wednesday, January 2

Since I was on reflections, I decided to reflect on a few things I miss. A top ten list of the things I miss most.

1. My kids.
2. My wife, ... but not the couch nor her cooking
3. A shower that lasts longer than 10 minutes, and has enough water pressure to hurt my balding head.
4. A hamburger with real hamburger in it (Wendy’s ... here I come)
5. A pizza.
6. A beer ... a nice cold beer with 5% EtOH (ethanol, the good Alcohol in liquor)
7. Whole chicken wings with hot sauce, breaded, baked and covered with hot sauce.
8. People to laugh at my dumb jokes. At least at home, everyone knew they were dumb, and laughed AT me. Here, I have to explain them, and even then, many do not get them. All I get are blank looks.
9. Hockey. It is not the same listening to a game on the internet, while drinking my morning coffee. Hockey and beer (see above) go together.
10. Snow ... lots of snow ... OK I am kidding. This is on the list of things I do not miss. Going golfing on Christmas day, wearing shorts and t-shirt all year round has a nice feel to it.

I will give you a hint on what will be on the list of things I will miss when I leave here. Besides the weather ... looking at HUNDREDS of beautiful women EVERY DAY ... EVERYWHERE ... ALL THE TIME. I will have to go through weeks of withdrawal and months of therapy when I return.
