We are on our way back from Ottawa as I write this.
We usually rent a van when we go anywhere, but this time we thought we'd go for a car since it was a one night trip and we didn't have to carry any gear. What a mistake that was! When Janet pulled up to my house my jaw dropped. We were calling this thing the clown car because, we felt like a bunch of circus clown piling out of a very small car. You know the routine. It even had a cute "clowny" horn sound which we determined to be just shy of F# and we were using the clown horn as a pitch-pipe while we rehearsed on the way to and from Ottawa.
The show was terribly early but fully catered with a great spread, so I couldn't complain too much, and besides, I slept like a clown all the way home. The whole event was to show appreciation for the tenants of a very large office building downtown.
What a great way to start our day before we "clowns" went home again! We also had a big surprise when we bumped into our friend Corrin at a Denny's (assisted by a helpful text message from Dan). She hung out with us the whole time! Good times.
We're back up to Ottawa this weekend! We'll be in a van this time!
