As per usual, I have taken one of my increasingly frequent leave of absences from WordPress. But I decided to come back, red-faced with shame, with this little cartoon strip. In case you were wondering how my patriotic honeymoon with Canada has been going, wonder about this no more.
This has been the story of my (Canadian) life since you last heard from me. As you can see, in less than three months, I have become an expert Canada-complainer, diving enthusiastically into the realm of complaining through badly drawn cartoons even.
This particular event happened yesterday:
And that’s what I have been up to since December.
But I’m back! 
Eek horizontal rain. Sounds like something out of a movie.
LOL its horizontal because of the wind. I wish I were in a movie. My commute to work is longer than the avergae movie.
You’ve been gone since December? Well, I feel like I haven’t accomplished much in that time now.
LOL but you have a new gravatar photo!! Look at you…being all cool and distracted by something else. I have missed much around here.
Happy to see u back!!! Love the wall paper!
More posts please!!! Friday Chronicles!!!
YES YES and YES!
Yes.
Are you coming back to Toronto? Are you already in Toronto?
Coming next month for a week!
Umbrellas are universally crap. All it takes is for an ant to cough within 100 metres of you, and you’re protection from the elements is gone forever.
Welcome back, yo.
Preach on! I’m never buying an umbrella again. They’re so bullshit. Hooded jackets are the way to go.
And thanks! Good to see all you guys again
I buy my umbrellas in pairs, but so far I have yet to have one break on me!
Love and hugs!
Prenin.
You are lucky, my friend! Canadian weather hates umbrellas.
Welcome back!
Thank you!
Quit disappearing on me!!!
welcome back
Haha…what totally ran through my head as I saw the TTC driver was “That’s a Mountie!!!” and then I read it below. All I have to say regarding your absenteeism, is ‘Suck it Up Selena Gomez!!! You’re Canadian now, and you need to blog through the bad weather!’
Could easily have been Chicago, horizontal rain and everything. I expected at least half of the other umbrellas at the bus stop to be broken, too. Common occurrence down here!
It always amazes me how large populations of humans set up shop in the most frigid places on earth and seemingly use that as a bonding experience. “Ahhhhh…you sissy Floridians can’t enjoy getting pelted with hail and will never know how great coffee tastes after nearly getting frostbite!” No thank you!
Well, you can all laugh come August, when our tranquil 90 degree weather is shattered by a friendly hurricane. Talk about snapping your umbrella! And losing your roof!
You have a great blog…and educational too! I never knew so many different occupations used the Mountie uniform!
Beautiful work!
