Chapter Four: Whistler Chronicles
Hi Everyone,
Last night, I finished my nice ten hour day and was rushing home in anticipation of my suitcase arriving next door to where I have been staying. Kolly had dropped it off at YVR and so I had to be there to pick it up ..They were supposed to be arriving at 6, and I arrived at the house at 5:15. I chatted with the girls and then set off at 5:30 to wait for the half hour just in case he might show up early...no sooner had I arrived, I see the bus turn the corner and voila, I was reunited with my stuff....wow...talk about perfect timing...do you see a theme here....my timing for things is just amazing up here...like torch girl, unsticking myself from the chairlift, scoring the NBC gig.....:)and yes speaking of timing..., I will respond to the half halt Angie...I loved what you wrote..
Then I was off again...suitcase and bags in hand I trudged off to my next destination which was the managers duplex. They were kind enough to offer me a den they had in their place the night we met. and incidentally also the night I was hired....and yes we were all a little tanked, but I still took them up on their offer...
I was so excited to have my own room. Couch or not. I wanted it. I unpacked and found my spurs in amongst my stuff...made me insanely homesick... who knows....maybe they'll come in handy I thought...I could sure have used them yesterday if I had worn them....I could have dug them into the snow upon arrival at the top of the mountain to free myself from the chairlift...mmmm...maybe I'll start a trend...
Our chef arrived yesterday from Sidney, Australia, Paul Lennon is his name, and let me tell you he is unbelievably hilarious....Born in Ireland but living in Australia for the past 6 years. He was hired by BTS to cook for NBC...He is like straight out of a movie...super tall, happy smiling face all the time, like he's just downed a pint of Guinness and cracks hysterical Irish jokes...your typical Irish bloke...Upon meeting him I commented on his name...HE SAID JOHN MCCARTNEY AND RINGO HARRISON ARE ON THEIR WAY...HAHAHA. it was early but I just about fell off my chair from laughter...I think the high altitudes limit the oxygen supply to the brain...things are so funny up there...
Monday night is lock down. What that means is that the military and everyone who's anyone are going to sweep the mountain...bomb squad...dogs..you name it....no rock will go unturned....
then from Tuesday on, we have to go through metal detectors and get searched before heading up the mountain.....Security will be crazy....two helicopters were circling most of the day...this sh*# is getting serious now.....
well I better get dolled up....The NBC editing and tech guys are taking me out for a drink...they are hilarious. I'm sure I will have more exciting stuff for you tomorrow!!!
By the enormous response from all of you, I feel compelled to keep writing. Actually I realized something today Writing really keeps me sane. I love it.
love to you all...
