After an evening of Sodom and Gamorrah in the Woods (which sounds like a delightful play), we are officially done. Done the planting, the year ender, the sun burn, the bug bites, the 5:30 mornings, the 11pm evenings, the stress, the trees, the shitter digging the beer drinking the the... everything. It's finished. We (being Matt Hollie and I) packed the Subaru to the gills, said our good byes, and left.
In such an environment, you're thrown into sheer and utter exhaustion with people that you don't know, and forced.. encouraged... find it necessary.. to make friends. And all the masks and niceties and whatnot.. you just don't have the energy for. So you discard them, and what's really left, is you. And only you. Which means that while you make friends, better friends, stronger friends, faster - the people you hate on day two, you really hate on day 78.
But it's done. It's made me stronger, smarter, made me work harder, drink harder, laugh harder, cry harder.. than anything I've done in my life. And baring that, it made me a fair chunk of change and gave me a suntan.
We're headed to Kelowna, should be there by this evening. Miss you all.

Kelowna?
Forgive me, I've been working a lot, Ms. P.
However, I notice this evening ( how could I not look up a town with the name of Kelowna?) there is an ostrich and emu farm in that neck of the woods.
Fascinating!
I love Kelowna. I used to visit it almost yearly as a kit.
*smile* but thats not the point; or why I'm here.
Hey luv! Thought I would pop in and say hello!
Perchance when I'm in town next I could buy you a cup of tea?
