It’s late and why I’m not yet tired enough to attempt to sleep is beyond me. I’ve been on the Island for a little over 24 hours and will return to Vancouver in less than that. Tonight was my ten-year high school reunion and, for the most part, it wasn’t much worth the trip. Our Facebook group stated that there were 33 confirmed and a little over 50 who said they’d “maybe” show up out of a grad class of roughly 140.

I’d be hard-pressed to say that even 30 attended. That would be stretching it.

At the beginning of the night, only a handful were at the Edgewater Pub in Comox. A few more trickled in after that, but it was certainly no party.

What was with me? Blargoo.

Okay, so I ordered the “Island Cheese & Fruit Platter.” According to the menu, it was to include strawberry and pear slices, walnuts and bread crisps to accompany the fresh assortment of Island-made cheeses. The Comox Valley alone is home to, in this humble narrator’s opinion, the best brie cheese in Canada. Naturally, my expectations were rather high. This is what was brought to my table.

Pretty sure the processed cheddar and mozzarella had been sliced for a few hours.

On Thursday after work, I was packing up my stuff to go to the Island when I had a visitor on my balcony. He was pretty sweet looking.

I’m bound for Vancouver once again tomorrow. I’m actually pretty stoked to be headed back there, to be honest. Nine minutes have passed since I started this post, and my eyelids are starting to feel rather heavy. I guess that means I should do the responsible thing and power down for the night. So, um, goodnight.
