In other news..... OTTAWA (AFP) - "Thatcher has died," read the short text message that kicked off a brief diplomatic flurry among members of Canada's parliament and their advisors at a black tie dinner this week, said local media Thursday. Upon learning the "news" via mobile or Blackberry at a soiree honoring Canadian military families Tuesday, some 2,000 shocked Conservatives, said to revere the Iron Lady of British politics, and their advisors reportedly huddled to discuss a reaction. The prime minister's office called Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street to confirm that Margaret Thatcher had indeed passed away -- baffling British officials, CanWest News Service said. It turned out the message was sent by Canadian Transport Minister John Baird from his home in Toronto to a person at the gala dinner to say his beloved 16-year-old gray tabby cat, named for Margaret Thatcher, 84, had died. The recipient then forwarded it to others. A spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office was not immediately available for comment. Too many jokes to make about that posting.... not enough time to make them all. | ||||||||||

Damn, that flu shot really works! Managed to finally get the kids innoculated on Thursday, and by Saturday Jake had the flu! Who do I call to complain about Holly still being healthy? Oh, and I notice that I missed posting halloween photos besides the pumpkins. The original plan was that Jake was going as Jason Vorhees, and Holly wanted to be Freddie Kruger. Our own little cadre of murderous mayhem. That was the operating assumption until we got the costume store and Holly decided that she wanted to exert a little authority instead. OK. Officer Cutie-Pie can arrest Jason...that still works!  Until the day before when Jake decided that he didn't want to be a maniacal killer after all. Instead.... he aspires to be a bum. We're soooooooooooooooo proud with his high aspirations! lol.  OK, well cops do like to beat up on the homeless, and it meant I got to wear the Jason mask. So it all worked out.  And, as the added bonus, my good wife never noticed where I'd put the bag of tootsie rolls, so I got my fair quota of candy too! Went and visited Dad yesterday before he heads south for the season. His absences seem to get longer and longer each year. Can't say as I blame him either. | ||||||||||
