Day 2 into the vacation. Did the show in Miramichi last night and it was off the chain (do people still say that?). Tyson Dux was a good guy, friendly and easy to talk with. May seem odd to mention that, but I've heard of a lot of guys who have worked for WWE and other promotions with TV and PPV deals that think they're God's gift to entertainment, even if they only had a cup of coffee on TV. Not the case with this guy and I hope our promoter books him again sometime soon. No injuries and the crowd was a slow burn to white hot for the main event.
It is hot as naughty bits here in the 'Chi this weekend. Patty and I spent today kicking around town. I got a new hat and new bowling shirt. Bowling shirts are rarer than hen's teeth in my neck of the woods it seems. Ate at The Cunard Restaurant in downtown Chatam. If you're ever in Miramichi, NB, I highly recommend eating there. It's a New Brunswick institution. I remember seeing the commercials for the place on CBC when I was a kid. Thirty *cough* *cough* years later and I finally got around to eating there. Well worth the wait, but I wish I hadn't waited so long. Topped off the day on the town in bustling Miramichi by seeing "Ted." Seth McFarland may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Patty and I had a great time. Not wanting to give too much away, but I will say there is nothing like seeing a foul mouthed teddy bear fight a duck named James Franco to make nearly have a stroke from laughter.
Now, as I write this, I'm slowly getting tilted on Fireball and Ceasers in the hotel room while I watch 'The Great Escape" (FANTASTIC movie, for anyone who hasn't seen it) while Patty has some blackberry wine cooler. So far, this is looking to be a pretty great vacation. And that is all I ever wanted. You see what I did there?
