A weekend in Mississauga

Started with pub night again – thanks to Mark & Judy – a chance to practise my Pisco Sour recipe. Made it home before daylight but still spent most of Saturday recovering.
Despite Braeden's injury we went to watch his team in the playoffs – maybe they would have won if he had been on the ice!
Then on to a family dinner – Saucy in Streetsville – an excellent meal and the sort of professional friendly service which we rarely see.
Sunday morning and we are back on the road for our flight to Newark and connection home to Shannon. Couldn't check in online (system wouldn't allow) for the Continental / United flight and had to wait until Newark by which time they tell us that we are sitting at opposite ends of the aircraft – hard to understand when we had seats assigned in our original reservation about 5 months ago.
Airline staff in Toronto and Newark have been among the surliest people we have encountered – will be a pleasure to be back home where you have a bit of chat with everyone you meet.
About 7 hours in the 'Land of the Free'reminded me that the inalienable right that they exercise most is the the one that makes them loud and vexatious in public spaces.
