the trip was ok. i am comatose, considering we were singing happy bday to the bday girl at 12:01 as we were just exiting the parking garage at BWI airport... the tray is prepared and sitting on the counter, but no signs of life from the bday girl's room. I have to get xsteen out the door for her accelerated math class. i hope the other 2 sleep for awhile yet.

"Once you go worm, that's what you'll yearn!"

I loved it. The critics said it was just more of the same but it's done $100 million at the box-office already. I always knew there was something about postal employees...

[xsmommy]

i STILL haven't had a chance to see it, i am so J of you, cj!

[CholeraJoe]

I read there was a garbage strike in Toronto. Any problems?

[xsmommy]

well we stayed out in the suburbs near the rinks that the tournament was played in, but we did see/smell the garbage strike when we ventured downtown. the TRAFFIC was HORRENDOUS, truly enough to make you want to blow your brains out. Other than the Hockey Hall of Fame, we did not have the time to do anything else downtown, because of the traffic. Truly it was the worst that any of us had ever seen, even more so than NYC.

traveling back to Buffalo, for our flight last night. We left Missasagua at 1pm and we got to Buffalo at 8:15 or so. That should normally take not more than 2-3 hours.

[hobbes1]

even more so than NYC.

What would you know about it?

[hobbes1]

Mornin Bud!

[xsmommy]

i have BEEN THERE, darling.

[hobbes1]

You are aware, of course that I rise, daily, around 4:30 AM, EST......you'll have to be posting when the Bars close in Texas...lol....

Good movie....

"The critics said it was just more of the same but it's done $100 million at the box-office already. ...

And if they'ed of changed it to it to make the critics happy, it would have made as much as the "PC-Approved" Tom Clancy movie ($650,000.00) did.
