No T.O.

November 20, 2005

My boyfriend Tyler took the above photo while on a trip to Toronto, a trip I was supposed to be on. This was the deal: months ago his uncle, who works for Air Canada, offered to have us both fly out for the opening of an art exhibit Tyler's in. We couldn't really afford to go otherwise, at least I couldn't. I was especially excited because my brother and his girlfriend moved there over a year ago and I had yet to visit them. Alas, a couple weeks before we were supposed to leave Tyler gets an e-mail: his uncle had discovered that the request for our flight had been rejected due to the fact that, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 30 YEARS, he has used up all of his yearly allotted family flights. It didn't even occur to him that this might happen, since it never had before. Tyler used his artist's fee to fly out anyways. I stayed home.

Sigh.
