We have been here in Sunny Florida for a month now,
And I am beginning to miss Canada.
I miss the feeling of going outside at 2 in the morning and still feel safe.
I miss the fast and exciting world of hockey.
I miss the way I get myself ready to go out in a blizzard,
with 3 layers of coats and socks, just to get the mail.
Not to mention driving in freezing rain.
The thump of my butt when I slip and hit the ground.
Yes, yes. I miss it all.
So as I live my life here, I try to make the most out of it,
Trying to remind myself of back home.
I try to keep up with the hockey team standings.
Believe me, finding hockey stuff here is like looking for Nemo.
I go to the grocery store and see some Canadian Beers.
Which is sad in a way because, I can’t drink beer anymore.
And what a surprise it was when I saw the one thing that could bring back Canada to me,
Canada Dry Ginger Ale, the champagne of all ginger ales.
THANK GOD!!!
Wait a minute.
What is this???…….
Caffeine Free???????
NNNnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo..!!!!!!!
(Close up shot of Tyrone’s face…Pan out shot of the Grocery Store…
the neighborhood….the City…with pigeons flying away disturbed..
To the Country…to the Earth…..still hearing the scream of anguish….)
Why… oh why???
