The Canadians have landed

I don't know, but it may have turned into an annual event, which may actually be nice. Muriel and her Canadian exchange students spent last night at #3, a welcome break from work life monotony actually, and an event always full of surprises. This group was smaller than last years, and we had less time to bond, given that last year we joined them for dinner the first night, camped with them at the Valencia campground and then had them over to the apartment the following night.

Muriel, nutty and always unpredictable, arrived bearing gifts; three bottles of champagne, two bottles of Merlot (merchhkkkggh lerr), and six bottles of beer. All the kids were too young to drink, Bob and Hui Chin aren't big drinkers, leaving lots of alcohol for Muriel and JC. In a mere two hours, Muriel popped open two bottles of champagne and a bottle of Merlot.
