Eh me fellow Canadiens!! Feast yer eyes on these bad boys!!!!!! Ill be cheerin for your boys and mine too (2 Sabres in your lineup). Kassian and Foligno.

The news is not good for the upcoming future either. I am hearing stories of five bucks a gallon by Feb. Man. I hope that is an exaggeration?

We could use some input in the NHL thread these days. The world juniors are going on right now. In beautiful downtown Buffalo

This is an igloo. My wife accidentally turned off the furnace while her parents were here. I came down the stairs and found them in blankets thinking the furnace was broken. It was 59 degrees and felt like 0. They are on their way back to sunny Florida.

There's a river there? I thought just an ocean. Ha

I agree except it seems Paris has lost some of its luster in recent years with all of the trouble. I dont know if I would care to go there now. London yes, for sure. Rome, not me. I would love to see some of the historic art works there but I do not desire to see the city.

I have relatives in Canada also though I have not seen them in a long time. I do not know much about England as a whole as I have never been there. I am English on my mother's side as her maiden name is Bradbury. Related to the science fiction writer somehow. probably have a small bit of Irish and I know some French though I hate to admit it. In this town if you are not Italian you probably have a good amount of German ancestory. I even like soccer which is the biggest sport in your country by far. Most of the americans I know cant watch it. I can. I love the world cup. But it took another big step backwards here with that recent vote giving that Arabian country the event. Dumb move for sure. Financially and for the sport as a whole. I wish I could cross the pond and check out London someday. But its not that high on my wife's travel list. I am working on it though. Cheers as you say over therre!

Well you sure have it all figured out don't you there Danny boy? Ha. Archie Bunker lives!! You can have your rugby. I could not watch that silly shit for five minutes. I have never seen such mass chaos and unorganized nonsense! Myself, I am a mungrel like most americans. Mostly English on my mother's side and German on my biological father's. Not Italian though my late step father who I lived with was pure sicilian. I dont know that porn is any bigger here than anywhere but what the hell does it have to do with rubgy? I dont care for golf or lacrosse either. As for the hispanic and redskin comment, I have neither in my blood. I'd be willing to bet your PC is infested with porn.

You probably watch wrestling too. Its ridiculous just like Rugby. It stinks. It has no organization and is an ambulance ride waiting to happen. A "mans game?". Sure, I think you mean a moron's game. Brains in your ass type of game.

Front page of the hockey news says "Is hockey dying in Canada?". Very disturbing to read this and I do not buy it. Supposedly not as many kids playing. But I say hogwash. What say ye Canucks? I hope its always big. Maybe the fact that a Canadien team has not won in a while? I expect that to change quickly as I am picking the Vancouver Cancucks to win the Cup. If there are no major injuries they have the weapons to do it and they will do it.

I know.

Sorry I did not see your post earlier. I am in love with this guitar

"Bells will be ringin" Don Henley (Eagles)

BRAND NEW TAYLOR!!!!!

And???? You are happy because he is in the kidtchen?

Me with my new Taylor guitar

Oh I am going to tomorrow. I had my mother send my some pics of me playing it but its on Kodak and I cant get it to load on tiny pic. I forwarded it to some friends email addresses to see if it can be seen by forwarding it. My friend Ally included. Hopefully Ill hear from him soon. I dont know about these copyrigh rules and whether you can forward? My wife will take some shots wth her Canon tomorrow and hopefully I can post that way? I am no expert at these camera to PC tricks. I do know how to use finy pic fairly well, but first must get it downloaded. I just love this guitar.

Well its from my wife and she would not know what to buy. So yes, I got it early She will have to wait til the day for hers. I got her many gifts including a pearl/ diamond necklace. Should also add the sale going on was today and they had a guy fhere from Gibson. I considered a Les Paul but the Taylor was more practical given my situation.

I got the best Xmas present I will ever get. I got my new guitar!!!!! Taylor, acoustic/ electric. 300 series. Its a real beauty!!!! Plays like a dream!!!!!!! I am happy as a kid in a candy store!!!!!

I bought my wife a book for Xmas. She does not know it yet. Its "Picnic at Hangiing Rock". Turn of the century (1900) Australia, private girls school go on a picnic and some of the girls mysteriously disappear never to be heard from or found. It has caught my interest and I will watch the movie at some point.

Biography is about Pink Floyd. Then David Bowie later

Years ago I remembr Playboy used to rank musicians. I dont know if they still have those rankings i there once a year? I remembr Elton John used to always be ranked on top of keyboards and I always thought Emerson should have won. McCartney usually won for bass playing, a bit unfair as his songwriting had alot ot do with it. I am sure these magazine's have suffered the same fate as most priont journalism at the hands of the internet. All the free porn onliine must have taken its toll on sales of Penthose and Playboy? Just a guess.

I bought my wife a book. I saw this movie that looked like an intersting mystery, its an old tale. Its the Picnic at Hanging Rock. The story is in turn of the century Australia when some school girls mysteriously disappear at a place called Hanging Rock. Its a pretty famous book I have heard. Anyone read it or like it? She is usually into romance novels but I think she may like this. I may read it myself so if you have read it, pleas do not give anything away.
