Chateau Frontenac Hotel, Quebec City
Kendra and I were a little disappointed that I have to be away for Elizabeth's first Halloween. I am in Quebec for a week doing a physical audit of one of our facilities. Although I'm within Canada, it still feels like a foreign country with the whole language thing. Quebec is a very neat looking city from what I have seen, and I think it would be nice to make a trip out here with Kendra and Elizabeth.
I had a revolting/funny experience at lunch yesterday. Some of us went to lunch at a fairly nice restaurant where they don't speak English. The controller from Quebec was with us so she did all the translating. They brought out my steak, and as I was taking my first bite from the spinach, I saw a bug crawling around. It was a very small bug, but still, that's gross. I feel like I get more than my share of foreign objects in my meals at restaurants, and I always send it back. This time, however, I was dreading having to explain the bug to the waitress through the translator. It would have created a scene and I didn't want to risk the chef depositing a juicy loogie in my replacement meal. So you guessed it, I fished the bug out, which took a little effort, and polished off my plate. Kendra, I am sure, is violently throwing up at this point just thinking about what I did. The meal was actually pretty good and I would recommend the restaurant to anybody visiting the outskirts of Quebec City.
So Kendra, do I get a welcome home kiss when I get back?

Kendra at the party come see.
SICK, I think I just spit up a little while reading that. At least you didn't eat the bug.
