yeah, i read it in university; english professors everywhere get a huge ***** for stephen leacock; i know he's supposed to be funny but i'd call it more whimsy than anything.

edit: Ohhhhh, excellent point about the hardship issues. Never occured to me to examine that aspect. I'll save a few apple turnovers for you if I can. Yes another tough day of teaching tomorrow. Apple and cranberry turnovers. Next week is tougher. Test for the little angles and then double stuffed potaotos.
And I get paid to do this.

jees.... took you long enough to get home. 
With my family being from rural Quebec going back forever, there is NOTHING easy about that kind of living, no matter what period.
I've had relatives have to get off the farm for mining.

Thanks for the info Keith, night of revelry sounds good too. I might just have to snag that frame before someone else does <starts to crunch his accounting numbers>

I guess its time to toss the winter tires onto the commuter. I wonder if it would be a good idea to do it while I'm waiting at the laundromat... I'd end up with dirty hands (not great for folding!) Also, I hate that I need a light for the commute home now.
