Thanks Vic!
Today, being Victoria Day in Canada, and me driving through Kitchener, Ontario's Victoria park, I thought I would reflect a bit on the person and the holiday. Here's to you Queen Victoria ...
Thanks, thanks for freeing Canada to invite immigrants from other countries to fill our vast lands. My ancestors were among those immigrants in 1874.
Thanks for being a woman. Those Mennonites though dealing with you would be as close as they could get to dealing with Katherine the Great, who had been so good to them when they moved to Russia.
Thanks for giving us a holiday for us to enjoy time away from work, and time together with friends.
Sorry that we no longer call it Victoria Day weekend, and that we've replaced it for slang for a case of beer.

When I die, if anyone wants to dishonour me, just use my name, my birth, my death etc. and attach it to a reason for people to get drunk. If I have any enemies, they'll know to do that. Well, if I do have any enemies, please tell me, but I guess they wouldn't really be reading this blog.
