St Thomas


I was driving to St Thomas to see my friend and watch the Ticats in the playoffs.  I thought I knew the way there.  So I didn't use the GPS which would interfere with my ability to listen to my audio book.  Somehow I missed the exit off the highway to St Thomas.  I found myself heading to Windsor on the 401.  So I took the first exit and turned around and went back.  I took the first exit that seemed to be the right one but it wasn't.  I drove for a long time and things looked sort of familiar and sort of not.  Then I came to a traffic circle and even though I didn't remember there being a traffic circle, I thought I remembered them working on one and it looked kind of new.  I didn't know which exit to take out the traffic circle.  So I decided to take the one that seemed to be the straightest to St Thomas.  I knew I wasn't on the right road now and I went through a little town called Fingal that I knew used to have a fastball team that played in the St Thomas league.  I continued driving and eventually I was going to stop and get out the GPS when I found First Street.  I knew my friend lived on a road off First Street but I turned the wrong way and ended up at a dead end.  I turned around and went back down First Street and found the right road pretty soon.  I guess I had come around St Thomas the other way and ended up at the same spot.
