So Aussie have you been to Ulura? Ayers rock??

 

[I think not]

Isn't that nice. Jay shows up and spoils my propaganda on him being sent to boot camp.

HA! Our generation gap is no more than 6 years it seems. Try pulling that off again Canuck and you will find your ponytail a tad shorter next time.

Well, a tad isn’t much, and I can always grow it back……you’re not fooln’ anyone old man. I’m still not convinced that you didn’t employ some anti-wrinkle cream. I hear it can remove years, even decades….. I felt while I was in New York that I fit right in…..I thought while we were in the museum, you fit right in…..

I had such a great day with him, we talked about everything, world events, Canadian/US relations, religion, Canadians, Americans, stereotypes, are similarities and differences as a people, The “American police state”, our alert levels and interesting enough, he pointed out a few things that I have never noticed myself in New York. All this in the backdrop of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ground Zero, Battery Park with a quick view of the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Harlem, a quick view of Central Park, The New York Public Library and a quick visit so he can see the Atlantic Ocean. We had a quick breakfast at Starbucks, lunch at a sports bar with plenty of beer (well for my levels anyway), he didn’t appear to have a problem with consuming larger amounts than I did like a good little Canadian “boy”.

New York is a sight to behold. I won’t forget that any time soon, and I would like to comment on a misconception that I/we have of the people there. They were very friendly and not indifferent as I had been told numerous times. People were very courteous and I’m sold on the city.

Interesting enough both our better halves thought we were nuts meeting someone we’ve only chatted with online for a few weeks. I guess we put them all to shame, didn’t we mate?

That we did that my friend, that we did.

As a person he is very courteous, open minded, willing to learn and more importantly perhaps understand. A great sense of humor. A great conversationalist on a wide range of topics. He doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind and is equally eager to listen to another point of view. From 10am to 9pm when he hopped on the beast again for his return trip to Connecticut, time just flew by.

Your trying to butter me up here…..Thanks for your kind words. I felt as if I had known you for a thousand years already, and I thought very similar things about you. We had a blast together, and I must commend you on your complete generosity. It isn’t often that someone will take the time to do act as an ambassador to your marvelous city, and country. You no doubt rolled out the red carpet for me, and made me feel as comfortable as I possibly could. My money simply was no good in New York while I was there even though I wasn’t holding Canadian dollars…..Thanks again

Well Jay, hope your back home safe and sound and say hello to the Mrs, for me even though I have never met her, I can only assume what your better half is like by meeting you yesterday. You’re a credit to your people and humanity and the pleasure of meeting you has been all mine.

I have said hello to her for you, and she is delighted I have made a new friend…you can never have enough friends. You too are a credit to your country, city and humanity, and I respect the work your doing to bring our countries closer together. Much is needed in that department, and if my trip with you is any example, success is definitely yours.

I felt compelled to write this on Canadian Content, because I think despite our differences in opinions, we are all human and it takes sometimes very little effort to see and meet new people. We are all a little online community and I would like to thank the administrator of this board for giving me the opportunity to meet a new an exciting person, if it weren’t for Canadian Content, I would not have had a new friend in the Great White North.

Thank you.

I too wish to thank Andem and Canadian Content for providing me with an avenue to expand my horizons. No doubt it is appreciated.


Been away for awhile, and my desk is full of work to do…..I will try to get it done, because I’m sure you all miss my wonderful, witty posts.

Thanks again ITN. God bless.

By the way Peapod, what makes a western leftie differ from an eastern leftie?

The western lefties are corn fed.....

I knew I should of taken you to the zoo instead.

Thanks for your kind words.
