Let me start off by saying that I'm actually quite pleased with the traffic to my blog so far. In fact, it's quite humbling to know that people are somewhat interested in reading what I have to say.
But that traffic does not compare to what we experienced on the way to Montreal as well as the way home. It's a long weekend, so we expected traffic. It's frustrating no matter what.
Here's the thing, though. I don't fuckin understand traffic. Sure it makes sense when there's an accident or construction, but can someone please explain to me how there can be a complete stand still and then 1 km down the road it just opens up. Honestly, I don't understand it. As I said to my sister Erin in the car, it seriously makes my brain hurt when I think about it. I know this sounds like a bit, but I just don't get it. Ok, that's enough about that.

I was in Montreal this past weekend for my Uncle Momi's 50th birthday party. Nothing like a 50th birthday to make someone feel better about their journey to 30! It was a great party and nice to see the whole fam.

Lauren (my wife) told me a hilarious story today that I can't even believe is true. Before I tell the story, it's important to know this about her. She has olive skin. And in the summer, she tans beautifully and gets a nice dark colour. We clear? Good.
So she's walking out of work today on University Ave. in Toronto. She's standing on the corner waiting for the light to change when a black woman taps her on the shoulder and says: "Hey, you're almost as dark as me." HA! I lost it when she told me that. Could there be a more random encounter on the street? What did Lauren reply? Nothin'. She smiled awkwardly and ran across the street when the light changed.

Sign I'm approaching 30: Got my hair cut on Friday. First thing Lauren mentions: "Wow, that patch of grey hair really stands out now." Sigh.

Sarah (remember my intern?) is no longer my intern. She has officially been promoted to account co-ordinator. Can't think of anyone more worthy of the promotion. Well, she was the only one in line for that promotion. Sadly, she's headed back to school at the end of next week. I will miss teasing her until she cries.

KV. Always a good idea to keep your boss happy with a mention in your blog. That's a lesson for all the young readers out there.
