Delayed such as it is. I was thinking of all you Canucks this past Monday when I was working like it was just an ordinary day and listening to CBC and imagining all y’all enjoying the first weekend of summer (oh Tom Allen and Tom Power, you don’t fool me – I *know* you prerecorded and were off somewhere sipping Timmy’s while I bulleted and copy/pasted and edited my Monday away).

Now it’s my turn! I know camping in the snow is de rigueur for your standard Victoria Day festivities, but a) no tent and b) no snow, so we need alternative ideas.

Here is my plan for the weekend:

1. Lie on the beach and read and eat a sandwich.
2. Get coffee from Dutch Bros. for the first time (bonus points if it’s one of those roadside kiosks in the middle of nowhere).
3. Hit up Sesame Donuts for the next stop in our “Find the Best Portland Donuts” quest.
4. Find a new favourite hiking trail (maybe. Chances are that I’ll just end up in the state park per usual, but we’ll see how adventurous I’m feeling).

I’ll report back next week. In the meantime, have fun, my fellow ‘Muricans! And don’t be too jealous, Canadians – you already had yours!
