“Come over for dinner.”

“Let’s go for a drink.”

“Let’s go to that new restaurant where your meal is served on a piece of newspaper and they attach a GPS to your wrist so when your table is ready, they can find you and you can find your table.”

“Want to catch a movie?”

“Coffee, yeah let’s go for coffee.”

You know what?

I don’t think so.

As a matter of fact, I am presently hibernating from a cold MONTREAL winter and frankly…

I’D RATHER DATE MY COUCH.

                                                  

                                             This is how to stay warm and it's better than hot chocolate

Facts about Montreal winter evenings:

• It's dark.
• It's cold.
• It may snow (more).
• Driving = disastrous.
• Snow banks (can't park, can't see).
• Black Ice (ice you can't see but it's still there).
• Getting stuck.

That is why I am going to stay inside and watch TV shows that involve the least amount of thinking. That’s right, I’m lining up a bag of kettle chips, dip and some spiked hot cocoa and I am going to get deep into the daunting genius of Punk'd, Honey Boo Boo, Girls, Catfish, The Pauly D Project and other high quality entertainment.

And there is only one thing that may persuade me to get off my couch: a vacation somewhere warm, sunny and without snow in which case all I need is my Travel Agent.

 I trust her because unlike an online travel site, she really knows me and understands my particular travel needs. She'll book me on the best flights and at the hotel chain I prefer in the room type I want and she'll contact the suppliers she has been working with for decades to arrange for me to zip through the rainforest or go sunset sailing and to be picked up and driven everywhere rather than my having to drive a rental car.

 She'll make reservations for me at that great Mexican restaurant with the huge burritos and salsa bar which is like a bar except instead of drinks, you load up on different kinds of salsa and that's why it's called a Salsa Bar and she'll get me an upgrade somewhere on something just so I can say  “I got an upgrade” and she is also aware that while she is busy taking care of me and all of these plans, until that very last moment when I board the plane and take off to vacation bliss, I will most certainly, undoubtedly be…

Dating my couch.
