Hey Nancy!

Although the below quote is from a previous message that I missed when replying to it, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to test Little Mikey's Brain to see if anything funky is still happening on the 'local' loop (Net153). The tagline seems to be working fine.

What did you use for the Leap Day toast, then....?

Leftover Aberlour 12yo from 2020-01-01. It was good but a tad too expensive even on sale ... which it was.

Life is good,
Maurice

2020-11-05 is 186 days from now and falls on a Thursday.
2021-01-01 is 243 days from now and falls on a Friday.

Oh, right... so you used the expensive stuff for two toasts... ;)
That's an economical way to go... ;)

I am still working out a few details as we speak. Nothing to be alarmed about ... yet. :::evil grin:::

Actually a few nontoasts in between but it did last longer than it usually does around here.

Fewer extra mouths with social distancing...?? Or just more careful
rationing due to the priciness of the bottle....? ;)

And if it is as good as you hope, I'm sure I'll be quite
properly jealous,

That has never been the objective but be prepared to be jealous since
I went ahead and ordered it.

Ok... the die is cast... ;)

and sorry that our toasts do indeed need to be cyber and not in
person.... ;)

Me too but maybe someday although lately I have serious doubts all
things considered.

One never knows.... I now have another friend living in your neck of the woods.... If she doesn't get back to Rochester any time soon, I might eventually figure out a way to go visit her... not this year, though, obviously.....

Into each life some magic must fall.....??

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Very good.... ;)

Hallo Nancy!

Her family is all in the Vancouver area, and she's lately been
staying part-time with a friend in Duncan... :)

That isn't too far from here. It's on the Island so that saves having to catch a ferry.

It will all depend on what sorts of abundance of caution get
exercised

Things are loosening up lately and they are now promoting travel within the country. The border between our countries are still closed other than for essential workers/services/trade. The last I heard it could open up around July 15th so Americans will have to celebrate this July Fourth without drunken Canadians dancing on table tops with no pants on. Oh the humanity.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice

That at least is progress... :)

We shall see if that actually happens, or if it gets put off to later...
Just as well I don't need to pick up my son at the Montreal Airport this year.... ;)

Such a shame.... ;) Happy Canada Day (tomorrow as I write this)...!

Airport this year.... ;)

I heard yesterday that the border could stay closed for nonessential travel for another year.

That could be a bummer... but not that out of reason to do, I suppose...

Happy Canada Day (tomorrow as I write this)...!

That was yesterday (as I reply to thus). I celebrated by buying an
extra large Dark Roast from the Tim Horton's drive through. How about you?

We didn't celebrate either, particularly... but there were a lot of
fireworks (legal, semi-legal and illegal) going off in our neighborhood
all day and into the night of the 4th... noisy, and some rather
pretty....
