Dear Friends and Family,
Friday night, we went to the REM concert which brought back memories. It was at an REM concert in early June in 1995 that we starting dating. We had been seeing each other for a couple of months before that, but that's when I knew Mr. mouse was "the one." Fast forward to the wedding, and it's when we got married (not coincidental). So, the concert was a can't miss concert bringing us full circle to today and the here and now.
And, like I was saying, clearly Michael Stipe and Sting have figured out the aging gracefully thing. Michael is a vegan (I think) and Sting is a vegetarian (I think) yoga guy (I think). And, I think they may be onto something. I can only hope to age as well as they have.
Saturday morning, we left bright and early for Montreal. Landed, provisioned, and headed out to the park for qualifying. The weather was perfect and our seats were excellent. Unfortunately, we headed back to the city after qualifying because Mr. mouse got an email during qualifying that translated into work and the computer was in the car. I usually nap during the afternoon races, so it wasn't a huge deal. But, still, I like sleeping in the sun.
Saturday night, we went out for Chinese with Fred and his parents. We had the barbecued duck, salt and pepper pork, stir fried lobster, Singapore rice noodles, mapo tofu, stir fried pea shoots and rice. Stuffed to the gills, everyone turned in early.
Sunday morning, we headed out for the race. Again, perfect weather and big time party in the park. We watched the earlier races from a grassy knoll by our seats and made a little picnic of it. Then, we went up to our seats for the race. My favorite driver was rear ended in pit row and didn't finish the race. I was so upset I almost shed a tear. But, in the end, Kubica got his first victory and that is always fun to see. And, Coultard, one of my favorites got third place which is excellent. We ran over to the podium after the race ended to see the ceremony. Way cool! Afterwards, we climbed into the gold grandstands and watched pit row while munching on our sandwiches. Life really is good.
Sunday evening, we cooked up a storm at home with Fred and Gen. Gen had just gotten back from a triathlon. She looks amazing! And, bless her heart, she got all fish because she knows I try to eat healthy. We had Atlantic char, Chilean sea bass, jumbo shrimp, grilled sweet potatoes, zucchini and salad before heading up to their deck for strawberries, blueberries and chocolate.
Mr. mouse decided he wanted to drive to Ottawa for the night instead of waiting until morning. So, around 10, we loaded everything into the car and headed out. Unfortunately, the first flight was canceled and we ended up going through Toronto to get home. It all worked out in the end.
Cheers!
