Going to Plymouth

Howdy all. Mark here. Hard to believe almost a year is gone... two more to go and I am sure they will pass just as quickly. Today was a success... until now, each and every time someone from here asked me if I was "alright", I took immediate offense. Today, I found myself saying "y'alright" to someone myself. To quote Star Trek, "You will be assimilated, resistance is futile.".

Heading off to Plymouth this weekend for a few reasons. First, and foremost, I will be representing Canada at a Veteran's Day service on Sunday (Plymouth was bombed into the ground twice in WWII). Also for the shopping. Shopping in Cornwall seems a bit cute at first (all the quaint little stores) but after you live here for a while, you really, REALLY miss the good old-fashioned shopping mall. Plymouth, at only 2 hours away, is the first city which actually has one of these. Laura plans to get all of our Christmas shopping done by Sunday :)

A big hi to everyone.

PS Clay and Ev... I am already down one bottle of Clamato! Also, the chocolate syrup is getting hit pretty hard. Oh yeah, not sure if any of the pickles are left. In summary... Thanks for all the awesome stuff you sent!!!!
