altie- your life is full - very nice :) my dad built a little place on georgian bay 40 years ago. they used to spend the summers there fishing and then a few months in florida during the worst of the winter - fishing <g> my mom sold the cottage when dad died. i love it when the hydro goes down cuz it makes burning candles and lamps legit and we've had quite a few of those occasions lately, but i haven't played parcheesi in years. you just took me back 50 years. The growth around Toronto continues....with the exception of Newmarket farm lands, it is all developed from Toronto to Barre....then it gets more remote as you head towards the Bay. uggg! i'm glad i'm not there to see it. barrie used to be a destination spot when i was a kid. even when we lived in unionville before heading out west, there was farmland separating us from the city. it really was very nice back then. enjoy the game tonight. i've only been to one major league game and that was at the old stadium in seattle, but i've been to plenty of minor league games at nat bailey stadium in vancouver where they still sing 'take me out to the ballgame' during the 7th inning stretch. it was muchos fun :) i'll be watching the first of the soccer semi-finals this afternoon between germany (the force) and the surprise-who-made-it-thus-far team from turkey. speaking of soccer, sarah sent me an email regarding a confrontation she had with her coach - boy, she's a tiger! i'll ask her if i can share it - its quite a read. -beuhls
