A blog...
So there I was, starting a blog. According to toothpaste for dinner, anything that can respond to stimuli will eventually blog. And gosh darnit, Canada has not yet sucked my ability to respond to stimuli out of me, so blog I shall. Also, Greg said it would be a good idea... at least until I get bored. But one small problem about this blog thing is that I pretty much hate typing. Maybe it was all the pressure to type 60 words a minute or get a (gasp) "B" in typing my freshman year of high school, but I just don't really enjoy the clickety clacking, the sorta painful wrists thing, etc... So the rest of this blog shall be done in Joe Bob Briggs

Enjoyed your blog. Glad you are there and settling in. So why do you need air conditioning in Montreal? I wasn't aware that the temp there ever rose above freesing! No doubt you'll soon have more than enought people with whom to "interact".
I'll look forward to seeing your future posts.
Best regards,
Your Glen Ellyn Uncle
Hey Sara,
It's good to hear how you are doing. Did you come to Kansas in July? Sorry we missed each other. It would have been good to see you. I'm glad to hear you are settling in, and I'm sure you will meet plenty of new people soon :). I enjoyed reading your blog. Looking forward to hearing more about how things are going.
Good Luck and talk to you soon!

Bonjour! You'll be speaking french before you know it! Glad to hear how things are going! I am sure you will do fantastic in school (hope they don't teach in French!)
Take care

I'm glad you're blogging! You're toward the top of the "Funniest People Matthew Knows" list. And I really like that photo of you... It's weird for me to think that you're in Canada, and not in Princeton. I'm not sure why. I trying to get a better job so I can, among other things, fly to come and see you. Still working on it. Well, good luck with classes. And keep responding to stimuli. I'll be praying for you.
Canada, land that requires One Million Dollars worth of liability car insurance. Number times I've said holy cow in response to crazy Canadian customs: 8. At least McGill produces some good. James Naismith came out of there. Keep on truckin'.
you crack me up! love and miss you! adrienne
Glad to know you are still alive. I hope you learn French quickly, so you can make sure the guys hitting on you were keeping things appropriate.
Try to keep "eh" as much out of your vernacular as possible.
Miss talking to you the few times a year I get to see you,
LeAnn
Take care, I miss you dude!
