Today has featured lovely brunch with my in-laws in Napanee, a too-quick visit with my old friend Stephen and his mother in Kingston, a 90 minute train delay from Kingston to Montreal, sitting across from an unusually drunk person from Kingston to Brockville (who was either flirting with me, or not aware I was there) and continued frustration for Oliver with VIA Tail’s flaky wifi.
But we got to Montreal–we’re pulling in right now–and will board shortly for the east.

Our return overnight journey
Our return overnight journey went much better, mostly because I purchased ear plugs before boarding, meaning that the rattle and crick of the train was reduced to a pleasant rumble and click.
My only error was in setting up a precarious pile of electronic devices to be charged on the table in our room: at some point in the night they all crashed to the floor (I didn’t hear this; see paragraph one). Fortunately the only casualty was my phone: Oliver’s laptop, my laptop and Oliver’s phone were unscathed but my phone now has a cracked screen. I believe this to be penance I must pay for having pridefully looked down on others with cracked phone screens.
Of course what pride takes away, pride rewards: I’m now in the market for a new phone. Or perhaps for no phone at all?
Our train is running about 40 minutes late, but we are otherwise healthy and well-fed, with super-fast train wifi to keep us distracted.
