As of Thursday, if anone needs me, you can reach me here. But don't call, 'cause even if the phone was on, I probably wouldn't answer. :)
I'll be back on Monday afternoon... then I get to pack, pack, pack!!

Summer Search for Mazdas
ChumFM has their Summer Search for Mazdas on again. And I've been enjoying playing along; I even guessed the first location (although I never got through on the phone).
But the second location upset me a bit, mostly with a few of the clues. Normally, they're vague, but direct you towards the location. This one, didn't quite fit the bill:
9. The Swiss and the Italians, they do not hide it.
And the Brits and the Russians, can’t see inside it.
Well, you can imagine how many things went through my head - what do the Swiss & Italians not hide, that the Brits and Russians can't see inside??
As it turns out, the location is the Confederation Bridge. And the explanation? "This clue tells you that it’s not in Switzerland, Italy, Britain or Russia."
Um. what?
I guess if the "IT" is the car... ok, fair enough. Maybe I'm overanalyzing some of the clues. It's fun to play along... but good f-ing luck getting through on the phone. Even with all our technology & redial, blah, blah... most of the time if i call from work, I end up with a fast-busy signal, which means all the phone network lines are tied up. I can't even get a line through to tell me that it's busy, let alone get a busy signal!!
Anyway, clues start today for car #3. It ain't no Miata, but a free car is a free car. I'll try super-hard when it comes to the "Secret Car" (could it be a Miata??)

Moving!
Well, it looks like it's official - I'm moving!
If all goes well... I won't be moving again for some time. Moving is a severe pain in the ass... especially if you don't have much (or any) help. I've done a few moves with lots of help (mostly thanks to Mr. Duggan), and some with little to no help at all.
I'll be moving on Saturday, AUGUST 5th, 2006!
If you can spare some time, I'm springing for lunch or dinner (depending on when we finish) at Rhapsody here in Richmond Hill. It's about a 6 minute walk away, and it's verrrry good! :) I don't know if it's still true, but according to Toronto Life, "A violinist and keyboardist play traditional Hungarian music Friday and Saturday night."
If you have time, and you like free food... and you don't mind lifting a few boxes or holding open doors... I'd be forever grateful for your help!
And... you'd *definitely* be invited to the upcoming housewarming party! :)
