I'm aboot to leave, eh?

Image sent out. Insurance taken care of. Car inspected. Packed. CDs ripped, [livejournal.com profile] jenniever's copying them to a player. Directions and boarding passes printed, books picked out, everything taken care of. Read the wonderful itinerary [livejournal.com profile] jenniever's planned for us here. We'll be going to the pride parade in Seattle, going to Chelan, seeing Vancouver, visiting Microsoft, and will spend a week with e-friends.
Soon enough we'll be seeing [livejournal.com profile] graye, [livejournal.com profile] spicyeggplant, [livejournal.com profile] malahat, [livejournal.com profile] brendle, [livejournal.com profile] infraredelf, and all the other crazy [livejournal.com profile] victoria_bc residents. We'll have excellent sushi, go camping at Tofino with a pack of drunken Canucks, and see what the town I've heard so much about for years has to offer.

For an idea of what I'm looking forward to, check out these shots or random stranger's shots. Breathtaking, ain't it? Maybe I won't die due to lack of bandwidth.

I'd like to say that you'll see plenty of posts from me, but we both know that isn't true. You still haven't seen my [livejournal.com profile] wideathtrip recap, let alone a recap of the Weekend of Roger Clyne. So, if you want to see what's going on, watch [livejournal.com profile] kingfox_flickr for a slew of naturey photos with trees and beavers and shit. Or, if you want good photos, watch [livejournal.com profile] grayeflickr. You might see our hero in a random shot or two.

Also, before I go, you should take part in this poll. Be good, all of you!

How about some poutine instead?

I think the rock would stay fresh longer.

Freeze-dried poutine?

My geography of points west of the Missisip are horribly hampered beyond the Bay Area, I had no idea that was so close! Woah, Idaho's really thin.

A 5.5/6 hour ride, eh?

Let me tell Jenni, and see if we can rush out there on the 27th, if that's ok for you two.

Email will follow with her cell number for planning.

Here's a question, do you suppose you'll be around to begin the invasion next Tuesday?

Hmm, that's the 28th, when we're taking a ferry to Victoria. It depends on where we spent the night before, but I'm going to guess that I won't be.

Then again, last week was a dismal showing, and the week before was skipped entirely.

Watch, the week I'm gone, it makes a glorious return.

You should pick a target and kick it off.

assuming work allows, I'm on the case!

You're the man now, dog!
