On my way to Toronto, right before the Canadian border, I stopped in a rest area to grab a bite. This was on Saturday earlier this week. The minute I got off the car, I noticed something jumping in the grass and I instinctively caught it. It was a tiny frog that I now call Prince Charming:

As a child, I always caught fat frogs in our family farm in Jordan. I remember that one day, in the garden around our Karaki house, I caught a really fat frog and I think I might have squeezed him too much and he peed on me. That was hilarious!

This little fellow though was quite friendly…

Expect more posts about my Canadian trip very soon. I have time on my hands now and I can write. In the meantime, how have you been?

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and having a great time in Canada. Just too busy seeing things and doing things right now so I can’t get myself to sit around and write something valuable and/or coherent. And oh, I only saw one moose so far and it was made of plastic.

Sorry folks, will blog when humanly possible…

You heard me right. I am leaving to Toronto - Canada first thing tomorrow morning. I’m super excited because I will get to see my Canadian uncles and cousins and it’s been so long since I last saw them. And you know, it’s twisted in a way but I click with them better than I click with my Jordanian uncles and cousins. Go figure, huh?

So as you might have guessed already, this means I had to pack again. This time though I did it in a more structured way and my “fictitious yet possible scenarios” were much better than, say, when I packed for Michigan in 2005 and slightly better than when I packed for New York.

I do not have any plans or expectations on where to go and what to see in Toronto. But that’s perfectly OK because I believe I will have a great time with my uncles and that they will take care of all my sightseeing needs. I bet my uncle will still beat me at cards, too!

At the risk of repeating myself and coming across as a complete numskull; I’m still going to say I’m super excited to go to Canada! If you’re there and want to meet up, drop me a line and we’ll see what we can cook. No promises.
