I hope you have a great time.

My wife claims I've been given nice meds, and the sky looks oh so cool, pretty clouds and all. (Smack) Back to reality!

Every 2nd year, in order to share my magnifixxx, we travel to the in-laws who live on the North end of Lake Temiskaming. West of there, about 40 minutes is our cabin. I like the latter.

Note to all: Take up the flute. Make it your #1 instrument. The wife just packed for the trip North and she's taking her new fancy flute that Matt picked out for her. I, of course, cannot take a piano, or any of my keyboard/amp things on the train. Oh, and her music books weigh 40 pounds. They are in my packsack of course.

Anyways, before the thread was hijacked by me,

Merry Christmas if that's your gig.
And Happy whatever if it's not.
I'd write a clever ditty the tune a jig,
But I'm just as happy to stir any pot.
