Re that last one... I hate to be a traitor to my town but... wow. Belfour really was amazing. Chris is on call tonight, so I was able to watch the first half of the game with the boys. They were yelling Go Sens Go for about half an hour before the game started (although until tonight they had only a very, very hazy idea of what exactly hockey was all about). They weren't terribly happy that the Leafs got three goals in the first quarter, but I pointed out that the Leafs were also a really good team, and Daniel at least got to enjoy the game a bit before bedtime. I missed everything from about 8:40 onwards. Except the congratulating line - that, I saw. And from what I saw, they deserved it :)

That last line should be amended to "Canadians and Oregonians plant gardens." Except we do it in a downpour.

Hee!

that first line

has so much to do with this household I was raised in Arizona - I joke that I'm a native Arizonan I was born in Indiana only because I had to be close to my mother any way my husband was born in montana and split his childhood between there and eastern Washington, he then moved to Alaska. Denver wher we live now is as far southas he's ever lived and as far north as i've erver lived.

Would it explain anything if I said he never complains when I put icicle feet on him and sometimes the best way to ensure a romantic evening is to turn the air conditioner on in the bedroom! (OK maybe that was TMI)

My neighbor was out barbecuing this winter in what had to be just about 0 degrees - he stopped over and asked to borrow a spatula. :)

I love Minnesota. :)
