Stormy Weather

Renée and I ventured out today after a long day of work (last day of work before holidays: YES!) for sushi and some relaxing chit-chat. I need to curtail this rather nasty sushi habit I’ve developed before I start signing my paycheques over to the neighbourhood sushi joint. Actually, what I need to do is find cheaper obsessions. The last few days have been very warm, humid affairs; the kind of humid warmth that makes you realize that it will thunderstorm soon. Winnipeg gets some of the best thunderstorms I’ve ever seen: big, loud, bombastic affairs that come swooping in like an arrogant teenager out on the town, blaring across the city, dumping unbelievable amounts of rain in the shortest possible time, and then disappearing abruptly. I like this about Winnipeg.
