Willkommen!

i wasn't sure how to write "holy crap, its been a long time since i posted" in german, so i went with welcome. and why german? cause once again, we here in kitchener kick off oktoberfest. and once again, i am getting the hell out of dodge and going up to tobermory for the weekend. i wonder if other cities have the same phenomenon? a big celebration that is known the region/province/country/world over, yet if you take a close look, its all tourists because the locals get fed up with all the noise. or is it just me?
but as always, i did have to take a few minutes to step outside of work, mingle amongst the lederhosen and dirndl, listen to a little walter ostinak and witness dalton mcguinty try to tap a keg by swinging a hammer like my six year old daughter. anyone catch that on the news tonight? or did they edit it down to one swing? cause it twern't no one swing. but alas, i had my sausage and drink (thanx to the boss for picking up the tab on that) and forced my way back through the crowd to continue the rest of my work day.
