Scene: U.S. - Canada Border - 2:30 PM Saturday

Border Patrol: "Afternoon."

Me: "Good day."

"Citizenship?"

"American."

"Where are you headed?"

"Toronto."

"How long will you be with us?" (I love the way they always phrase that... it's so welcoming).

"Just overnight."

"What is your purpose in Canada?"

"I'm attending a party."

"Are you bringing any alcohol, tobacco, or gifts?"

"Nope."

"Okay. Have a nice...

I had the same problem coming back from Canada's side of Niagra Falls. They seriously had a brutally tough time believing that in 2004 I would be living in Orlando when way back in 1977 I was born in Boston.

And if I lived in Orlando . . . what was I possibly doing in New York. Huh?

It was preposterous.

things like that always fill me with rage.

Welcome, April. It's good to see you.

Whan that aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the ram his half cours...

Are you going to the SGMidwest get together at Cedar Point?

Thank you. smile I appreciate the effort. It's largely immaterial, however, since I've canceled my account. If you're wondering why I'm non-anon, I'm just having a little fun until it expires for good in a few weeks.

THUNDERSTORM!!!

It's the first of the year, and it's supposed to be pretty strong.

biggrin love biggrin love biggrin

I. Love. Thunderstorms.

The thunder's getting really loud, and the lightning is hitting everywhere. It's going to be a doozy. I can tell. The thunder is doing that cool Doppler effect right now.

For me, I would be more comfortable with a hospital or birth center. I would be worried that something might go wrong.

Have a good trip!
delusion:
Ooh, neat! I want to travel more than down the coast and back up again. Even exotic sounding places like Mexico are really just down the coast and back up again.

Your fantasy sounds divine except I wouldn't mind Oprah, fame, money or prestige. You are a finer artist than I. tongue

Before people ask, this entry doesn't mean anything. You should know by now that when I feel up or down, I tell you why instead of posting some cryptic lyric or single emoticon. I hate guessing games, so I don't put people through them.

So, this is simply something I wanted to share. It's from one of my favorite books, one I haven't picked up...

Hey there...love your quote. I read The Tao of Pooh last year and I loved it. I just wanted to say hi because we've never spoken before and I don't really know why. I just wanted to let you know that I think you are so beautiful and I love all of your sets. You really inspire me! Hope you are doing well! wink

We had cake in my Michigan History class tonight. Why? Because Michigan became the 26th state on January 26, 1837.

My teacher even drew a map of Michigan on each cake using decorative icing. (They were in 9x13 pans, not shaped like the state). The chocolate cake had the upper peninsula on it, and the sugar-free lemon cake had the lower peninsula on it. She...

So I have been asking people (in my journal) to tell me about their favorite people on the site. I was really pleased with some of the responses that I got and thought it would be nice to share with people what people had to say about them:

Sorcha- because she says what she feels and isn't afraid. She also seems wise.



Hope you were able to get everything done. smile
