Today's marks Canada's 151st birthday and man is it a hot one!!
Hot because we rock as a nation and hot because the mercury is pushing it up to 35c and 43c with the Humidex.
I went to the carnival at the Kanata Recreation Centre with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson this morning at 10 am and it was already scorching at that time and within 25 minutes we were heading home as Jack was getting way too flushed for my liking.
Hard to believe that they actually ran a partial marathon this morning - Moki and I got to see some of the runners as part of the course worked it's way through my neighborhood.
I mentioned to my daughter that I might go and play some golf this afternoon and she forbid me from even thinking about it - yes, you read that correctly, she forbid me from golfing in this heat. I laughed at her remark until I saw my son-in-law shaking his head at me and mouthing the words "Don't argue with her".........
Seems she was very upset to learn I'd played the back nine at Stittsville late yesterday and told him she was worried I wasn't ready for that kind of exertion, especially not in this heat, and not so soon after getting cleared from the cancer scare.
So to be a good father and grandfather, I sent her a text a little while ago saying I was staying home today and just enjoying the coolness bestowed upon the house through the air conditioner.
Hopefully everyone is enjoying the long weekend, well those of you in Canada that is, and getting to spend lots of time with friends and family.
I'm heading back to the grind on Tuesday and will keep you updated on how things progress as I'm sort of expecting a chilly reception but don't really give a damn anymore lol
My name is Marcus and I'm a proud Canadian!!!
