I’m making an executive decision. Happy Mel Brooks day!  He is 100 years old today. 1900 more to go!

All right we have:

National Camera Day

National Darts Day

National Waffle Iron Day

All today. I’d like to pick one but I’m kinda waffling between them. I know I should get to the point, but it can be hard for me to focus.

I live in Jersey City now and park on the street. This means moving the car when the street sweepers pass though. Parking here is very tough; sometimes in the evening I drive around for half an hour or more looking for a space. Imagine my visceral and emotional response when I see a car (purposely?) talking up two parking spots.  Either the driver is a selfish mutt or they're a selfish mutt and they're saving a space for when hubby gets home. 

Last week I had had enough. I had a pen and paper, so I left a note on their windshield that said, "You selfish prick, how many spaces do you need?" Did that change anything? No, but it made me feel better.

Dear friends, you are invited to celebrate Maman’s birthday on 2 July.  She would have been 100yo!

Treat yourself to a French pastry, or some Belgian chocolate, or even some delicious gelato/cassata. She loved them all!  (Actually, on a really hot day she loved an icy shandy, but I’m not pushing beer)

I invited Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Brendan Fraser and Rick Moranis to my Canada Day party. None of them could come but they were all very apologetic.

Will there be a designated drop off location for those with handicapped plates/placards who cannot find available parking in the designated parking area?  If so, where will it be located?  I don't see mention of this on the map contained in the Maplewoodstock Program. 

I don't think anyone is going to hassle a mobility-challenged attendee for a minute or three near the Accessibility Parking area (#12 on our https://maplewoodstock.com/about/map/) to escort a family member or Uber customer out of the car onto the festival grounds -- steps away from the Two Towns canopy -- and then move off to park elsewhere.

We are all in this together.

In the meantime, put on your favorite touque, pour a Labatt’s and dig into a big helping of poutine. Crank up some Bryan Adams tunes, then have a nice Ryan Reynolds movie marathon, eh?  

You know what day it is, you hoser.
