Talking to my mom today she enlightened me to something I did not know. There are Tim Hortons south of the 49th parallel. In just 3 states away, almost 20 hours driving nearly 1300 miles I could have a maple dip in my paws.
Hey, if I didn’t have my job as a stay at home mom, I’d be hopping in Gary, and cranking the tunes for a road trip! Okay in reality, even without a young son, I have a husband who would not traverse over several states for a donut. Someone in this marriage has to be grounded at all times. He keeps me from crazy things like this, I keep him from spending money on new toys at the Apple store.
Chris & Roland both posted a while back about their most influential or favorite albums. I don’t think I can say that any album shaped me, I’ve always been more of a song person than an album person.

Alrighty, I better sign off. The boy is getting antsy. I’m closing with a quote from Meet The Fockers, which we watched last night.
Greg Focker: Look, Little Jack was crying so I picked him up and gave him some hugs. Then I went into the kitchen to answer the phone and when I came back, he had let himself out of the playpen, put on Scarface and glued his hands to the rum bottle. Ok?
