    Good Morning Dear Readers!

     I had to send a package to one of my Parental Units, it was just a birthday card really but in the envelope was something that could not be folded or bent without breaking it. So a naturally the post mistress has to attempt to pass the now bulging bubble package through the Official Canada Post Mail Sizing Device. You've seen it? That piece of plexiglass with all the slots of various sizes cut into it. Now, this device is the determining factor if a piece of mail is to be sent as a letter or a package. If it fits through the pladtic mail slot its a letter. If not its a package. Fair enough. There  has to be some regulations. You can't very well be shipping toasters or car parts  for the price of a letter. But when everyone in Canada is being forced to get their mail at a postal superbox; and that new mail pidgeon hole is now bigger a household mail slot, you would think that the Official Canada Post Mail Sizing Device would fall by the wayside. Not a chance! It cost me $15.00 to send a birthday card.

     Today is going to be an insanely busy day here at The WAYWARD INN. The first big item is that the final phase to the renovations is taking place. The new murphy wall bed is being delivered and installed at noon today (pictures to follow). And just in time too, as my BETTER HALF's parental units are arriving early next week. Also we will be hosting a raft of individuals prior to attending the opening night of the local roller derby league. That's right! I said roller derby. Our local team is the Brickhouse Betties who often compete against River City's team the Rink Minx. You can look for the Brickhouse Betties on Facebook and at www.brickhousebetties.com.

     I don't know how many individuals are going to be milling at THE WAYWARD INN  but my station will be on the flame pit cooking up brats and (ugh) veggie patties. The Loin Fruits are having some friends over too. Some of them will be joining us at the game and some will not. My LOBSTER is having a couple of co-workers join us as well. Besides searing meat on the flame pit there will be my BETTER HALF's world famous coleslaw and I will be making homemade pretzels.

     The pretzles are done. And the workers have not yet shown up. Go figure. On another note, my LOBSTER's Travelling Relatives from River City popped in last week bringing a container of home made lentil soup. Really good stuff. In fact, I didn't share any of it and I probably have the cleanest colon in The Valley.

     For those of you residing here in The Valley, the one's who are not hard of hearing, that roaring sound eminating from the sky above you is the sound of Canada's eminent aerobatic demonstration team The Snowbirds accompanied by the CF-18 demonstrator. If you don't like the noise. Tough shit. Move to Port Hardy.
