This love is for two groups.
First, to the wonderful city of Montreal for showing me such a great time last week as you always do. You’re busy but still somehow laid back vibe really put me in a good place. Your women are gorgeous, your chicken is delicious and your people are enthusiastic and friendly. Your cultural and ethnic diversity is also much appreciated and enjoyed. Keep up the good work.
The other part of this love goes out to my wonderful family. Our reunion this past weekend was unbelievable. Even after spending a wild week of partying in MTL, having dinner and beers you in Northern New Brunswick was the highlight of my trip. It was amazing to see all 58 of you, ranging from 4 months to about 90 years of age, and I can’t wait for the next one.
I really needed a vacation and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. —TJ902

have to watch out for bad hips n knees tho.
It was a great time, we went up to see Eminem and Kid Cudi at Osheaga, but Cudi cancelled and I decided I didn’t really want to go. Could have saved myself the $100 on the ticket, but I don’t regret it, I just wasn’t in the mood to stand on my feet for hours in the rain with 50 000 people. I’m glad too because my friends didn’t make it back till like 2 am, too tired to even think about going out, and the show was over at 11. I guess it took forever to get people off the grounds because it was on an island.
Meanwhile I went downtown alone and had a great time on a Friday night, then took off to Campbellton to spend the rest of the weekend with the fam. They stayed an extra day and flew back to Hali direct. I stopped in Quebec city for a couple hours and took some pics. Didn’t make it C’ton till like 3AM as a result.
Driving from Montreal to Campbellton and then Home by myself was amazing. I’ve never driven that far alone. One of the best trips I’ve taken for sure, and I didn’t even go to the concert that was the whole reason for the trip. I really want to move to Montreal.
it is a lovely place, i spent a lot of christmases there. driving by your lonesome is quite exhilarating
