So this is my “Friday.”
…Tomorrow, in the early morning times, I’m driving Harriet south to pick up Marty (and her Sailor Moon pillow and her Snooki slippers), and then we are OFF! Northbound for the border to the end of our lands…where Canadia lives.
…Oh, Canadia.
Canadia and your cheap booze, and UK book stock, and tiny port towns where you film all our American TV shows…we love you so.
…We love how you’re just there, at the top, like that.
…We love your funny money, and how you stamp maple leaves on everything…even McDonalds salt packets.
…We love how you have a Queen and are related to those people on the other side of the water, which is the best place in the world.
…We love how you talk funny and are charming about it, not “white-trashy.”
…We love how this is your idea of crime:
Together, we girls are gonna explore your world for two days, in celebration of Marty’s Birthday! (As 99% funded by her brilliantly generous parents and siblings.) I dunno why I getta tag along for free, but dammit if I ain’t gonna grab that opportunity and jump on board while it whooshes by!!! To celebrate a Marty SHOULD take an out-of-country experience! And it’ll give a neat little ending to Karen and Martha’s finally getting to take their vacation together…after all.
…It’ll also be the last time we’ll get to see each other in a good chunk of time for a while after that. On account of being in two shows in two different counties, with another one in between, and both starting rehearsals the same week. Course we’ll still find a way to annoy our neighbors with loud wino nights of glory whenever we can manage it…lets not be ridiculous…this is anything but “the end.”
…But it is “the end” for our four-show, back-to-back, run of joy together. It was a helluva ride…we even eventually got to speak lines to one another and everything!
And what lines.
…Can’t wait for our ‘venture.
Hey Marty…is it tomorrow yet????
