Temporary Vegetarian

Friday, July 11th, 2008

gruyere-cow-pig.jpgToday, I’ll be a temporary vegetarian….I’m sure you’ve had this moment occur….traveling on the highway alongside a truck destined for the slaughterhouse.  Sometimes, I try to convince myself that, maybe, the animals are headed to a new home…but, we know where they are really headed…..truck drivers used to refer to them as ‘barn yards’ if memory serves.  I saw a pair of big, brown eyes peering at me through one of the many holes this morning….I think it’s tofu for lunch today….don’t tell the Dad though, he’s a retired farmer.  I’d never hear the end of it:)

What are your plans for the weekend?  If you have yet to take vacation, I hope it’s coming soon for you.  This weekend it’s a patio or two, my nephew’s bday party and maybe a little extra sleep.  I’m compiling a list of ‘Toronto Summer Time Killers’ for the tv version of the Jack Nation Countdown.  What are your fave summer time killers? Patio’s….Canada’s Wonderland….hit the links?  What do you like to do when time allows and the weather is right?

 This weekend on the tv version of the Jack Nation Countdown, we have tickets for the Metal Masters tour.  Judas Priest is headlining that show.  The radio version of the countdown is about a rite of passage - summer camp….not band camp…..although, that would’ve been funnier.

Have a terrific weekend.  Sexy bingo is coming up before two and we’ll see what other kinds of trouble we can get into….use the bonus code ‘cows’ for some extra Jack Nation points.

Thanks for stopping by!
