I was sitting here with my Golden Retriever Shadow contemplating names for a puppy.I said"Lars",and wud you believe it,he smiled!!(I trained him to do that)Of course,he's trained to take my empty beer bottle upstairs & my wife Debbie gives him a full one to "take to Daddy"until she said I was taking advantage of my dog.What is this!!A woman ruled world?Anyway,gonna think of a name,while secretly getting the old retriever to get me a beer.
Happy Victoria Day Weekend

Well...??? ... are you moving to Canada or not? (the biz gig you mentioned thinking about) I'm sure Canada would welcome you and family with open arms if you have money to pool into the economy(grin)...take care...Carman

Hi Carman,

Depending on how well this new business does, there's a program that allows skilled workers in without having a lot of dosh to bring with'em. Hopefully in about 6-12 months perhaps less) we'll be on our way.

Loved the island - if I could snap my fingers and make it happen we'd be there tomorrow!!!!

well I sure hope you make it to "The ISLAND" as we all know it by. It IS Beautiful.I haven't lived there since age 18 but have considered moving there a million times. It's really developed the downtown area and all round the old Empress (Empress Hotel that is...NOT EmpressJulia)and the Parliament Buildings. Tourist City the last time I was there...manymany years ago) I used to live a few blocks behind the parliament bldgs for a while...close to Beacon Hill Park. I hope you got a chance to explore a bit while there?...Carman
