Shortest Christmas Ever (in my life)
What could have been a 26-hour Christmas ended up a bit short at 23 hours. But that's ok, I'm safe and sound, back in Waterloo now. Boy, they do have a ton of snow here. There's snow stacked a metre high (or it seems) everywhere. And it was snowing. Ah, the White Christmas that people were looking for. I got it in both Saskatchewan and Ontario...woo!
About the plane from Saskatoon to Toronto... Well, the most interesting thing happened right after they passed out the orange juice. I made a little prayer for it, and the guy beside me caught it, and started talking to me about the Lord. Turns out that he's a guy who does a lot of missionary work, and went to places like Chile, Cote d'Ivoire, Zimbabwe, and Germany. He sounds like a genuine Christian, and we had a wonderful short chat in the Saskatoon-Regina leg of the ride. He seemed a bit shocked that I'm only 24, thinking that I should be married or something...hmm... Anyway, the Regina-Toronto leg was mostly sleeping, or rather, trying to sleep. Too bad I didn't learn his name or anything and went off. Oh well. First time somebody talked to me for that long on a plane ride, and it is indeed a very interesting experience. The plane ride was smooth most of the way, and the plane was almost packed, which is kind of surprising to me. Also surprising is how many people only took the ride from Saskatoon to Regina, which seems like a pretty short distance to me. Also more surprising is that the plane ticket says that we get complementary meal, but we have to purchase meals...maybe that's a good ground for a complaint? I was sort of counting on that meal for lunch... Anyway, I did basically nothing on the plane, though... Good to be back home now. Prepare for the obstacles ahead.
Well, that certainly was a pretty tiring Christmas. Need to get some rest before getting back to work. Not before Trading Spaces, though...hehe. And now it's time to ask the important question: Dude, where's my car?
