I remember now. Jeremiah Bullfrog. On Queen, west of University. Next to a sex shop, apparently. It seemed OK when I went there. Your knowledge of TO pubs is better than mine so I'm open to suggestions.

I know the sex shop; pink walls, sperms wriggling along them. I have a picture of daughter #2 outside it with a visitor from somewhere-terribly-conservative-where-they-don't-have-sex, Oakville perhaps. Will find the pub.

Your memory of the sex shop disturbs me. There is plenty of sex going on in Oakville. Mostly involving members of St John's United Church.

What time Tuesday?

Is the timing question in regard to beers or sex at St John's???

My understanding is that the two congregational activities are often combined. They're a wild bunch, those Unitarians.

I was in New Zealand when Madonna's book called 'Sex' came out and was the subject of some controversy. At the time we gained great amusement by the Kiwi TV reporting about Madonna's dirty new book called 'Six'.

Smart move to meet dbd in a public place. His description of the cabin and occupants is disturbingly like the plot of a horror movie. This one for example. http://www.angryalien.com/0605/txchainsawbuns.asp

I suspect we have bunnies. We certainly have a chainsaw.

Not yet. We'll be at the JD auction next weekend looking for something suitable. In the meantime the farmer "next door" is clearing the drive.
I hope to get a picture of his snow clearing machine on the weekend. It's big, even by the standards of agricultural machinery, it's is a big snow blower mounted on a big tractor; in Toronto the tyre tracks it leaves would warrant calling a plough.

Oi. Shovels can be hi-tec.

I have two shovels. One is a regular shovel; the other is a hi-tec, labour-saving device. This afternoon I shall use the latter to beat the Boy around the head until he gets up off his lazy arse, picks up the former and clears the driveway for me. I reckon I can get the driveway cleared with one or two good swipes. I'l hardly break a sweat.

Having a day off and being stocked up on cookies and brownies, so I could stay inside and watch the bad weather outside.
