Huzzah! I am done work for an entire week! Unfortunately, the reason is that I'm going to Pelly.

Ahh, Pelly. Deep in the left ventricle of Saskatchewan.

A place where the wheat roams free, you always get along with your neighbour (mainly because they're your cousin), and the minority population is named Clyde. This is a "Family Reunion/Celebration of Saskatchewan's Centennial" so the town is pulling out all the stops. The itinerary of the town's activities includes not one but TWO barn dances and, of course, a greased pig competition.

My family was able to secure two rooms at the only bed and breakfast in Pelly. But, as I was just informed, there's only room for four people on our 5 person trip. Yours truly now gets to sleep in the van.

So what can I look forward to? Since my Grandpa is no longer with us, we can't be treated to the magical musical stylings of The Listerines (Ukulele accompanied by Fiddle and Acordian). I could try to chat up some of the locals, however, the entire dental population of the town's eligible females couldn't fill a toddler's mouth. And there's only so many times that you can play mini golf before you find it's more fun to hang out talking to the wheat fields. And my school friends wonder why I make fun of Saskatchewan so.

Speaking of school. I registered today! I actually look forward to this. Although that means less free time for our usual nonsense.

Yeah, I saw your web-comic link. No, I didn't read it.

Actually, upon re-reading that I think it's time for the younger generation of Lister's to pick up the torch. That's right, "Listerines: The Next Generation!" With Brodie on spoons, Courtney on slide whistle, Danica on the ol' shoe horn, and Earl on the beer bottle, the world we know can never be the same.

Well, regardless - you seem much less grumpy at 8:47...
