Lori is here!! She was one of my co-workers at PDI in the Paint-Fix Dept. this past year, and now she'll be one of my co-workers (starting tomorrow) at Meteor!
It was a sunny (but not warm) day today so we walked around quite a bit on Blvd. Sainte-Laurent, down Mont-Royal (the street, not the park) then over in my 'hood, had lunch at Frite Alors! (no, neither of us had poutine) and then back over near her hotel where there is a supermarket (Provigo) and I finally got to buy a respectable amount of groceries instead of mac n' fromage from the corner store...
Lori took a picture of the cute laundromat next door to my apartment, Chez Bobbette, and then later found all these other pictures taken in it! I was just there this morning and it was empty, but it looks like its the hip place to be in my neighborhood!
Ooo and in other important news, Claire was flipping through the tv channels here the other night and she came across Arrested Development!! (Best show ever, for those of you who don't know!) So the humor of the name of the store Loblaws isn't lost on them here (there was a lawyer character on AD named Bob Loblaw and he had a Law Blog -- Bob Loblaw's Law Blog!!) I love Canada.

I really like how your post has the pictures embedded in it - looks very cool! I'm so sad I missed you over Christmas - because I miss you!! I want to come see you in Montreal - maybe if you're still there in 2008 because 2007 has been dubbed "the year of frugality" so we can move into a bigger house next year. :-) XOXOXOXO
