seis and Walton Trail-Blazers at
the Ontario Federation of Snowmo
bile Clubs Convention in Toronto
this past weekend. After an after
noon of meetings full of the usual
lengthy discussions and boring
diatribes, I decided to take a quick
trip to the mall (as any normal
woman in Toronto for a weekend
would).
However, with little time to
spare, Mark felt it couldn’t be
done. But being a normal woman, I
knew that 1 knew better than he
what I was capable of, so I hired a
hack and away I went.
At five-thirty I was ready to
return and felt rather smug as
there was ample time for me to
prepare for dinner. Only one tiny
detail stood in my way - I couldn’t
get a cab. Don’t ask me what
happened, I’ll probably never
know. I spent $2.00 on telephones
to hire a taxi but never saw any
return on my money. Finally, at six
o’clock I was locked out of the mall
with no access to a telephone.
To make a long story short, I
ended up hijacking an airport taxi. I
made it to the hotel with five
minutes to spare.
I had just enough time to get my
bearings after that when the fire
alarm went off and we were
shipped outside to stand in the cold
for over an hour. The fire was
caused by the electric heat on the
ninth floor.
Checkout time took us a mere 90
minutes to accomplish Sunday
morning enabling us to get to my
sister’s for brunch at 2:30 p.m.
I have never appreciated the
small town life, nor the easy-going
lifestyle of Brussels more than I did
this past weekend.
