winter and road work.

24. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more
polite than,"Huh?"
25. You actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all of your
Canadian friends!!!! and then you send them to your American friends
just to confuse them...further (hehe )

Not Canadian, but LOL. Love Canadian humor, but love my Southern weather
more. I remember spending July and August in Quebec, I was wearing long
sleeves and jeans--everyone else had on shorts and tanks.

My family are the golden threads running
through the tapestry of my life.
My friends are the silver threads running
through the tapestry of my life.
The gold and silver in my tapestry show
happiness, love, sadness, togetherness.
And most important of all love.

I certainly like the one about more hockey news! I have dropped
subscriptions to papers due to the lack of hockey news here in NJ.

Sorry, I couldn't resist getting that title straight. We look the
same as Americans but our heads are a world apart...Irene

The ONLY reason we get one of the Boston papers is reasonable hockey
coverage. The entire reason DH wanted DirecTV was to get the Center Ice
package.

Speaking of hockey - the season has started here - DS has his first win in
goal and DD had her evaluation skate for her first season.

These are why Dad moved from Canada 40 yrs ago and won't go back!
He's been happily retired in TN for the last 25 yrs.

Remind me of those four "winter" seasons mid August when it's 100 F here in
the Toronto area would you ? :P

Those are the days I actually *wish* we all lived in igloos.
