Here We Go Again

Here I am sitting in the Aldergrove Legion...(they have a computer...). I am here because Cease and Desist is hired to do a private party in the next room...
There's a band setting up right now...right beside me actually...looks to be a husband and wife duo - from what I can tell...
It seems very strange that tomorrow morning I will be leaving for Warsaw yet again...after sitting here....

****

Tonight will be interesting because Jack Guppy (from The Barney Bentall Band) is filling in for Marc on drums. Marc is already in Warsaw with Dorota his new wife. Very hard thing to do...marry someone you love and live across the world from each other waiting for immigration...

It seems ironic that Canadians seem to think that immigration is a cakewalk in Canada...judging from all the work and documentation Marc and Dorota have had to do, it is not easy at all...

****

It's not like she's poor...it's not like she's uneducated...it's not like it's a 'fixed' marriage for her to get Canadian status...they have proof that they've been dating (albiet long distance) for a few years...

Dorota works for the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw and owns two homes outright, and speaks 4-5 languages fluently...she would be an asset to any country she chooses to live in...

But - I'm rambling...

There's a smoking room in here - there's a guy with a folk guitar in there with a bunch of people sitting around having a sing-a-long...

The sing-a-long...always so much of a 'gathering' thing...people love music...

****

Unfortunately - some woman is now howling 'Your Cheating Heart' - and boy is it baaaaad...!...But that's not the point...it's about sharing...and it's got a sweetness about it...

Okay - I have to get back to start being an entertainer now...

No mud on me *****

(I just clapped for her...)

Next post from Warsaw...
