Buzzz, buzzz, buzzzz… “Ah snap, I totally spaced I had dinner plans tonight.” Shaking my head, I pick up my buddy’s phone call, “Yo man, super sorry, I got caught up at work. I am leaving right now, I’ll be there in twenty!” Frantically stuffing my resin pack, I leave my desk behind. Our lives behind…
Canada may be known for its friendly people, ice hockey, and Tim Hortons, but if that’s all you know about our neighbor to the north, you’re really missing out.
