Navel gazing

By The Fool (Mon Jun 19, 2006 at 06:40:40 PM EST) in Soviet Canuckistan, fun has YOU (all tags)

Or, how I summoned up the gumption to write a 200-word story in less than 6 weeks.

Try this experiment:

Read my story "And You Never Ask Directions, Either".
Picture it as a Far Side strip.
????
Profit!!!

In the world the exists outside my navel, my wife and I left our kids with grandma and grandpa on Wednesday and took the ferry to Victoria, BC.

We stayed long enough to go from, "Hmm, they appear to have soccer on television. How unusual." to "OMG! Like, Argentina totally ROCKED that goal, D00d!!!1!1!"

We also saw the city, clocking in at about 10 miles worth of walking per day, according to my scientific calculations. Photographs of impressive buildings and/or flowers were taken. Souvenirs were purchased. Good food was eaten. [redacted] was enthusiastically engaged in. Alarm clocks were not invited.

We got back on the ferry yesterday, passed through U.S. Customs, and arrived home with pizza just in time to meet grandpa returning the kids.

And that's the news.
