A bit of sadness hit about two weeks ago as my Grandmother passed away almost exactly two weeks ago on the Sunday. I few home shortly thereafter for the funeral. A reasonably elegant affair, thankfully with nice weather and a short ceremony.
Thankfully, there were a few positives from the trip. I got to see several relatives at the funeral who I thought that I would likely never see again. My only regret with that is that Uncle Sam didn't remember who I was. It's a shame how alzheimers affects the elderly. Well not so much them since they get to experience things anew everyday, but more for those around them who have to watch as their friend/relative slowly fades away.
The other plus about the trip was that I was able to get to a Green Riders game while I was there. Even better, they scored a decisive victory. Yes, I know it was only against the lowly Ti-cats, but I'll take anything I can with the Riders.
Oh yeah, and they are smoking Hamilton again tonight, up 34-3 at halftime.
Potentially, starting just after Labor Day, I will be working down in Burlington. Now, I know nothing about the place, but from my limited research I have learned that this place is approximately halfway between Toronto and Hamilton. So I shall call this place, that is halfway between the Craphole and Stinktown, Crapstinkville. I'll let you know if this is a accurate depiction of the place if and when I get there.
