I have excellent news! The customer service department returned my call and, upon taking my credit card number, is putting in the mail, today, a new lid for my wok. Hooray! Also, a dozen Eat-More bars arrived by post and will soon be winging their way overseas to my famished, Canadian-candy deprived friend. To this end I would like to direct you to the most wonderful internet site where you can fulfill all your north-of-the-border needs, including food, clothing, books and novelty items, such as the much-in-demand �Merde, il pleut� umbrella. Go, now. No, wait, finish reading this entry, then go.

Uncle Don�s visit was quite a success. He came with his bass, an older, mediocre instrument that was all right, but he had been hankering after a new bass for quite a while. He and Hubby headed out to the music department to borrow the bass amp, but found that it was in use--the jazz ensemble was rehearsing--so they got back in the car and drove to ArchambauIt, where Don had been earlier in the day looking at their wares. He ended up buying himself a brand new bass, a G0din made in Quebec at La Patrie, with a lovely dark stain on the natural wood, and a very fine sound. When they finally came home there was a jam session of vast proportions, which can be viewed here. I like to refer to them as �The Three Guitarzans�.

I almost forgot! Here�s the result of one of those crazy quizzes:

You Are 26 Years Old

26

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?
