A Saturday Evening, Canadian Houliday Weekend Open Thread

It’s the annual Victoria Day weekend up here in the Great White North,

almost all of which has finally thawed out from what seemed to be an average winter that hung around a bit longer than expected.

Also expected – most of my fellow Canadians are on the road to somewhere today.

Me? Well, WineWife is away on a work trip, so my options for fun are both boundless & restricted. If I have too much fun, there’s hell to pay upon her return. Not enough fun makes the freedom seem like a wasted effort. The trick, as always, is to supplement the fun with pictures of her dogs having fun before, after or with. It shows “responsibility”, an essential trait that needs to be nourished in a 50 year-old man.
