i want to be where yaks can run free

well, we're off today. no, the package doesn't arrive until monday... finally got the tracking numbers around 4:00 yesterday, sigh. so we've decided to go and come back early. we can make up the week of school for the kids throughout the semester.

that also gives us a week away without school books, so that will be much more relaxing and vacation-like.

i will have some access to the internet, so i'll post if i'm able. so looking forward to seeing connie again and catching up with some friends we haven't seen in years.

hold down the fort for me while i'm gone - will miss you all!

leaving you with some of my favorite obscure lyrics:

Welcome to Canada, it's the Maple Leaf State.
Canada, oh Canada it's great!
The people are nice and they speak French too.
If you don't like it, man, you sniff glue.
The Great White North, their kilts are plaid,
Hosers take off, it's not half bad.
I want to be where yaks can run free,
Where Royal Mounties can arrest me.

Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait.

They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs,
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs!
We all think it's kind of a drag,
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag.
They say eh? instead of what? or duh?
That's the mighty power of Canada.
I want to be where lemmings run into the sea,
Where the marmosets can attack me.

Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait.
Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait.

Please, please, explain to me,
How this all has come to be,
We forgot to mention something here.
Did we say that William Shatner is a native citizen?
And Slurpees made from venison, That's deer.

Let's go to Canada, let's leave today,
Canada, oh, Canada, I Sil Vous Plait.
