Testing...testing...

And we're back!  The blog took an unexpected summer hiatus -- in my real life, among other things, there was a fire at my work which forced us to relocate.  So blogging hasn't been high on my list of priorities this summer, but I'm attempting to return to business as usual.

It has also been a rather quiet time to be a Carbo fan.  Whether or not the man himself decided to also take the summer off, there just hasn't been much in the way of news to report.  Recently, however, Guy did make an appearance here in Ottawa in conjunction with radio station CHEZ106 (which is the BEST radio station in the world, for this writer's money) to announce the winner of a giveaway.

It is to be assumed that Guy is returning to RDS for another season as an analyst.  Once I see confirmation of that, I'll update.  But the second purpose of this post is to show off some of my boyfriend Erik's recent handiwork:



This is little!Carbo.  Erik spent months working on him, and at the end of July brought him by bus from his home in Boston to me in Canada.  Here are some pictures from his trip.

In his human counterpart's home of Montreal, waiting to board the bus to Ottawa.  At this point there were no more photos on the bus, because the driver was pretty stern about NO PHOTOS ON GREYHOUND PROPERTY EVER.  However, then my gift got to Ottawa and was delivered to me and I was pretty happy.  So there's this final shot of little!Carbo in my car:


Yay!
