We are in Miami now and I should have my first Miami post up tonight. <BR/><BR/>The kids are like up til midnight and sleeping in in the mornings and David is working a lot with the show, and it feels a bit like we've "run away with the circus", which we kind of did, but the kids are once again backstage babies and running amok on a barren stage and last night we ate Japanese in bed and it's hot, the beaches are sandy and we are surrounded by pools of all sizes and shapes and this running away with the circus can't be a bad thing, right?<BR/> <BR/>So, to keep you up to date, I totally missed the poutine, which sucks because you all got my mouth watering for cheese curd (Who would have thought?)but I loved Montreal and we'll go back for one thing or another and have the poutine and a pile more of smoked meat. <BR/><BR/>Saint Tiger Lily - Are you really having poutine at your wedding? Fantastic! I'd like to see your caterers face when you tell him that! And I want to go to any wedding where the bride serves fries and cheese curd. That's my kind of affair! Okay, too many exclamation points...<BR/><BR/>I don't know how David knew about Schwartz's, Neen but apparently I'm not the only "foodie" in our family. He continues to surprise me on a routine basis. In all the good ways. This is a nice thing. <BR/><BR/>And thanks, Anonymous for joining us and for noting the pink flip flops. Although not intentional on my part (Did I eat the whole meal with pink flip flops next to my plate?), I suspect you have discovered the perfect visual metaphor for our family. <BR/><BR/>More later... <BR/><BR/>xo KimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434726458328084701.post-68464428890206329582008-07-21T19:48:00.000-04:002008-07-21T19:48:00.000-04:00You know, I think that that IS awesome... for all ...You know, I think that that IS awesome... for all of us who would never, ever associate Montreal and smoked meat in the same sentence.
