Tis sadly too true, although when I say it that way it makes me sound even more sarcastic than I actually am. It was a nice relaxing weekend with an awesome home cooked meal, decent weather, a good old dog to give rump rubs to, and both curling and hockey to watch with my stepdad, so no complaints here. Also while it would be more pleasant than a chest cold its not like I need chocolate, especially given that I'd like to drop twenty pounds. So with that introspective navel gazing aside let me just say to all who celebrate that I hope you all had a Happy Easter! :-)

So, no, nothing more I want to say right now, mainly because I'm a strange combination of mellow and hacking up lung crud, so I'm just going to end it here.

Stay classy world.

I'm not making that up. People farm bison here and where there's livestock....

I'd just like to wish everyone who is celebrating a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hannukah, a wonderful Kwanza, and a Blessed and belated Winter Solstice. May the New Year bring great things for us all.

I still say India beats both Canada & the US in terms of audience participation when it comes to fireworks* but America really knows how to bring the noise every July 4th.  I felt some of those blasts in my core.

Hope everyone had a great July First and Fourth Weekend!


*Chennai during Diwali looked like CNN's footage of Baghdad on the first night of Desert Storm. Supposedly some flights have to change their approaches on those nights.
