More good news!

My dad stopped by work on his through town and took me to lunch.  He brought the clothes that I had left in my grandmother's closet after the funeral (I drove 300 miles last weekend to get them, only to discover that my aunt had cleaned out the closet and put it all in storage!)  He also wrote me a nice fat check that I think will cover about 1/3 of what I estimate I need for Montreal (YAY DAD!)

And I just checked the mail and my Iowa birth certificate arrived!  One week after ordering it! (and I got one from my mom Saturday, too.) Also got a check from a class-action lawsuit; only six bucks, but money is money!

And I just went through the post with the Toronto pictures...fantastic!

I'm so flipping excited!  Dream come true, I'll say again!

Best,
Creighton

Don't forget about those special "events" we have planned for CERTAIN members... (insert nefarious laugh here).

Enough said.

I'm so ready I could scream.

No phone, no cell phone, no computer....just FELLOWSHIP.   Live and in person!

Can't wait to see you all....

Hugs,

Alan

PS - would someone PLEASE remind me not to buy anything that requires ironing?  I hate to iron, but it seems all the clothes I buy need ironing (darn those natural fibers!)....I refuse to spend a LOT of time in Montreal at the ironing board....take me back to the DISCO era when everything was polyester

Alan, I'll remind you about permanent press if you'll tell me what the bloody hell Killfoile means by special "events"! It's not some kind of hazing, is it?  ???

Most will be spectators, but not all.

The clues are there, if only you know where to look.

Sweatin' Creighton !!!!!  ;D

This is still a bit early for being certain of the weather but the tendency for the weather during the gathering looks like this : this is expected to be cloudy all week in Montreal ( but no rain is expected at this time ), the temperatures won't be too hot either.

August 15 : approx. 21C ( 69,8F)
August 16 : approx. 20C ( 68,0F)
August 17 : approx. 25C ( 77,0F)
August 18 : approx. 27C ( 80,6F)
August 19 : approx. 23C ( 73,4F)
August 20: approx.  24C  ( 75,2F)   Quebec City : approx. 21C
August 21 : approx. 25C ( 77,0F)

As a reference : 30C = 86F

I'll post next Monday what is expected for the week to come then, and at that time it'll be more accurate. The weather forecast concerning Quebec City is perfect for visiting the City as it'll be comfortable.  ;)

Regards,

The Canuck

i tossed a ball for puppy tonight for her to fetch... but with an impeccably bad throw, i beaned her in the head.   I told her "it's okay sweetie, i've taken many balls to the face'. At least she got a treatie after that which is more than i ever got.

Well, I may not be mister everybody and fit in everywhere, but I know what a gathering like this can do.

You will all be changed. And I know, I have been to 2 different ones already.

Jan and Trish, please bring a spare pair of underwear when we take you to that "pole" strip bar.
You embaressed us enough last year.

Drewling is allowed however.

Hermie, who is excited :-*

I am VERY EXCITED about going to Montreal.  I look foreward to lots of laughs, hugs, a few tears but mostly just being around this amazing group of diverse individuals from all over the world. I am ready to put that T-shirt on and wiggle my tushy to the CD Dingo made.

Welcome to the forums buddy.

I'm looking forward to this trip more than I could ever express.  Whether you're HIV+ or not (assuming though you are), you'll find some of the most amazing, caring, fun filled, nurturing, understanding people anyone will ever have the chance to meet.
