While still on vacation here in beautiful Smiths Falls, Ontario, I'll be taking a little side trip tomorrow (Sunday) to visit the nation's capital city, Ottawa. My darling spouse and offspring will be staying in this small town of just over 9,000 souls, leaving me to try to find a particular intersection near parliament on my own for yet another internet meeting.
Craving to capture this event on film for posterity, I had been planning to take my digital camera along with me for the ride. My darling wife suggested I leave it behind since she's going to be showing off our son to her grandfather at the same time. I almost felt like arguing that since I'm not likely to see this on-line duo again any time in the foreseeable future, first dibs for camera really ought to be mine.
Before my train of thought had even chugged to that speed, she countered with the argument that since Bud (the grandfather guy) is well into his 80s, and we have no idea when we'll get out East again, this may be the last chance our son and Bud will ever have to see each other. Combine this with puppy dog eyes and fluttering eyelashes.
So tomorrow morning, before departure, I'll be stopping off to buy a disposable camera.
Why are you a moron? We'll have our digital camera, numnuts.
