In an unprecedented turn of events, the Montreal-Toronto train on 24 Dec was on time, and the Toronto-Montreal train yesterday was also on time.
Mussolini-esque? I think so.
I dunno what prompted these stunning holiday season developments but in 10-odd years of taking the train to the Holy City for Xmas, on-time trains in both directions had never occurred before.
Is this a sign of improved management at Via Rail or a sign that the apocalypse is upon us?
Also, on the way up, I had a bloody caesar in my hand when the train had barely left the station, and it was one of the tastiest beverages I've ever had anywhere, train or no train. The steward must've had bartender training. Yesterday, I had to have another, upon embarking, to taste test. It was good but it didn't match that marvelous drink on the trip up. So yummy.
Arriving home yesterday, the sidewalks were skating rinks. Stupid freezing rain. I like ice in my drinks, but not under my feet. I managed to remain upright, but it wasn't easy.

Without wishing to brag, I should add I will be having 7 weeks off come Easter....at the moment though, I feel like the rest of you - a loser.....
Go ahead and brag. But be warned I will not hesitate to use the opportunity come April to tease you about the BIG birthday coming up this year. So, sure, enjoy your 7 weeks off, as you face that "milestone" birthday. ha!
