When you are exhausted, you have no choice but to present yourself in a raw form to whatever you're doing. In trapeze you stop muscling the tricks and learn how the trick is supposed to work with your momentum. In yoga you stop forcing yourself and instead invite openness by falling into it. History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. Abba Eban Perhaps not how the quote was initially meant to be interpreted, but I think it still works. Donc, you are about to see raw Travis and perhaps do the best yoga (and teaching) you've ever done. I heard something along these lines said in both my Trapeze and Yoga classes.

I think it would be safe to say that for some of us, it would be very beneficial to our health and wellness to be egocentric for our entire lives and never have children. I really don't see how I could do this job even remotely well, and go home to children. No, the world is probably better off if I do one or the other. Since there is no partner, rich or otherwise, on the horizon... I think teaching it is. Lol. I sure do hope the stamina comes soon. I wholeheartedly agree Travis.

Glad you got to experience my favourite restaurant and my favourite food (much to my demise and side glances while you enjoyed it :P ) And after my favourite restaurant it was only natural to go to my favourite night spot with expensive drinks and great music. The last song of the night "When I fall in love it will be forever" seems to explain your relationship with Montreal quite well :) Hope the good eats continue the rest of your trip and you're tempted by the 24 hour Mcdonlads no more than once!
