      Er... I retract my earlier post .  Flowers are starting to bloom
out here you know!  But then... I am calling the airlines on Monday to head
back east for a couple of weeks (need to finish a guitar in Oshawa... and
maybe your boat too... if it's not too cold :^) but can't figure out why
I'm not waiting at least for the spring.  Surely it's not to see Struther
and put up with his barbaric behavior!   I trust you guys have had your
S2S gathering by now - well, set another date real soon - say, first week
in Feb - 'cause I miss downing a warm pint with freezing cold sailors.
  How were things at the National?  Did you guys all huddle around as
penguins do to keep warm?  Was Struther performing his usual magic by
swinging upside down on that big chandeleur in the dining room?  Was he
showing everybody how he can down a pint in under 5 seconds through his
nostrals and two straws?  Hmm... just like last year.  I'll bet half way
through the evening he looked out the window, saw his frozen boat and broke
to a silent whimper lasting for about 5 pints, then a loud, self-pittying
bawl for another 5... same as every year.  What do I want to go back to TO
for anyways?  I've ridden the trolly, I've seen the CN Tower, I've watched
the Leafs, I've seen snow, and I've met Struther... so what can the
attraction possibly be?  Oh ya, now I remember, cheap airfare... Struthers
famous last words to me were, "... and remember this Augustin, cheap
airfare means money left over for pints!" :^)
  Anyway, when I book my flight I'll let you know what my schedule will be
like, and I will try to fit that puzzling piece back into ToyBox - it's
kinda gnawing at me! :^)
  TTYL
     Cheers,
             Augustin~~~===
