Montreal Ying and Yang

Back from the doing the dutiful son thing and driving my dad to Montreal to deal with his divorce. So in the spirit of good/bad, ying yang, here we go Montreal style.

- We arrived back home safe.
- Driving and spending three solid days with my dad drove me nuts but I only lost my temper twice! Once arriving at the hotel and he shouted out "Why are you parked here?" as I parked in front of the "Hotel Parking" sign. Second time to be expounded upon later in the post.
- Chinese food. We stayed in Chinatown. I ate great Chinese food.
- The second time I yelled was after about two hours of listening to him complain about other drivers. We saw one bad driver not slow down that almost lead to a truck collision on a merge. When this same situation presented itself to us I slowed down and he commented as to why I was slowing down. I yelled and explained the other situation. He was rather quiet after that.
- Traffic through Toronto was great.
- My dad blows his nose at the table. Every meal. This really, really drives me nuts.
- I received a fantastic greeting from my family upon arrival. Heartfelt hugs and kisses. That made me feel great.
- My dad complains about immigrants not learning the language yet lived in Quebec for over ten years and never learned french.
- Getting a chance to use my french again.
- Ending on two goods, I had two amazing runs in Montreal through Chinatown and Old Montreal. Nice to run decent hills as I live a fairly flat area.

It appears that I may be dumb enough to do this again in January. I will see how my work schedule goes. I think I may sedate him during the trip as well.
