We have this really weird attraction in Toronto called Medieval Times. As far as I can tell from TV ads, it's essentially a show where people reenact the medieval era. There are jousts, lots of pomp and pageantry. Audience members cheer on their knights from wooden tables surrounding the ring, while feasting on a "medieval" meal.

A former co-op student was forced to go as part of a high school class trip, and she said it was one of the most surreal experiences of her short life. She complained about the girls having to wear weird paper crowns, having to eat dry rotisserie chicken with her hands and endure a remarkably cheesy show.

For some reason, I REALLY, REALLY want to go to it. I only want to go with one person, and that one person is Marie. I just think that it's going to be so painfully embarrassing, that it's going to be fun. I told Marie that the next time she visited I would take her there.

Funny how she hasn't visited in two years.

Sure, she says it's because she was busy being pregnant, giving birth and now raising a child. I think she's just trying to avoid this delectable treat I have in store for her.
