I especially liked this one...LOL

"Fortunately, I scalped the pastoral expanse last week so I could skip this weekend without having to worry about looking for Doctor Livingston in the Darkest Heart of Africa the following week."

pluripotency.... I have honestly never heard that word! You've got me!

Glad you are back to running with the Universe again

Sesame Place - I could probably throw a home run from my house to Sesame Place - that's how close you were to us this weekend.

Alas, Saturday I was out doing my Mystery Shopping (see blog for explanation) and our miniature doberman was guarding the palace.

Maybe next time.

Glad you had a fun weekend.

Seems like the kids are on CAFFEINE! (snicker)

Hi!
Sesame Place looks a lot like Ontario Place http://www.ontarioplace.com/en/i...m/en/ index.html

We use to go at least once a week when the kids were small.

I love swimming in cold water. Had to give it up though because of leg cramps.

Know what you mean about the guilts.

Hey bro, when it comes time to let the kids start playing Wii, don't buy one. They can have my stuff, I just don't have the time to mess around with it and it is sitting around collecting dust. Gimme a call.

Wow, a free Wii, now that is a sweet uncle. (Cover your breakables.)

Linda : Yeah ... I'm either indignant about those folks (Emeril, Puck, etc...) or absurdly jealous. Probably more of the latter.

Lisa: Those brain cells woke up for their 15 minutes of fame this weekend ...

Shawna : That word vexed me for a week! I could remember the definition and some of the spelling ... but the first part escaped me. I kept thinking 'omni'potent .... not quite the same.

Anne : we might make a return visit this weekend ... if our NYC/Long Island folks do not show up...

Joan : Oddly enough, they SHUN soda and other such products for fruit juice (real, no corn syrup) milk or gatorade.

If they ever got a taste of a caffeinated product, mapmakers everywhere would have to retask the regional area as a giant blank spot labeled 'There be monsters here'.

carole : NEAT ... The Tyrants would love the golf. Right on the Lake, eh? You have the Molson Theater, ours is owned by Bush Beer. And neither place allows drinking!?

BLB: Rats, The Mrs already bought one a while back ... still in the closet as well. I'll have her contact you about games ... we really want the 'Dance Dance Revolution' thing for Ghengis.

Jenn : It is really neat ... we'll use it for 'Wii Time' if I can get off my lazy rear and organize it.

You should not feel guilty! For heaven's sake, man, take a break! Your children's legs will be worn down to nothing before they're teenagers.

Linda took the words right out of my mouth! You are just too gifted with wordiness. We're all jealous.
