With the world transforming at a high rate of change, it’s kind of comforting to know that some things are pretty constant–or at least slow to evolve. The Canadian National Exhibition is one such institution. I went there the other day with my mother, and I was pretty awed at how the things that I saw brought back memories of times when I visited in the early 90′s. The sights, the smells: they were all very familiar, and to be honest, it was comforting. I haven’t been all that interested in going over the past few years, for whatever reason. In the past, every time we went we really only just walked around and browsed the shopping pavilions, which were basically the only places my family was interested in. So, I came to associate the place with long, boring hours of wandering around. I dunno. Now that I’m older, I guess I’m able to appreciate some of these same things a little bit more. Also, I can actually show my mother some of the other things that she missed out on in the past. All in all, I’m enjoying the place more now than I did back then.
Now, if only I actually had money to spend at the fair.
(Maybe next year)
