I'm just praying the weather holds up because the forecast doesn't look good

Ever get the feeling the Republican's have resigned themselves to losing the next election and are just trying to do as much for their own interests until that comes and hang the political consequences?

My back is going to be in such bad shape in 2 weeks ...

I've sent this as a letter to the CAS ... I hope I managed to keep the anger out.

I am writing concerning the situation regarding Kevin Moorecroft and Lilas

Lemay. After the horrible accident involving their son Gawain, taking their

other two children away from them is the worst possible thing to do to this

family. I have known Kevin and Lilas for more than 6 years, and know they

are very dedicated parents and wonderful people. I have witnessed first

hand

all of the love and attention they have given their children, and this

action is a terrible thing to do to both the parents and the children at a

very traumatic time. I implore you to do the right thing and correct this

mistake by returning the children to their parents so they might heal

together.

Sincerely,

Robert Hammond-Vincent

To make things even worse, CAS, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to take their other two sons away from them while they investigate. Lilas is devastated. Friends of the parents are organizing a letter writing campaign to get this reversed, but I have to say this is the worst thing they could do at the worst possible time. Kevin and Lilas are good people and very dedicated parents, and this decision is just making this horrific accident even worse. I understand CAS do very important work and have to deal with a lot of evil evil shit, but this and other experiences of them in my periphery (one individual I unfortunately used to know uses as one of his favorite tactics for getting at people he has a falling out with is calling CAS and filing anonymous complaints against them ... the parents have to go through all kinds of hell to keep their kids from being taken away from them, meanwhile this asshole doesn't have to provide any proof at all or take any sort of accountability for himself) often leaves a rather sour taste in my mouth.

First good news I've had all week.

Those of you in Ottawa might have read the horrible news about the accident where the 3 year old boy fell out of a 15th floor apartment and died. The parents of the boy, Kevin and Lilas, are friends of mine ... needless to say, they are in pretty bad shape right now. Any good vibes you can send their way would be appreciated.

Meg and Jacks interaction is very interesting and exciting. It's almost dirty to watch. They have a sexual energy between them that gets released through their music in much the same way Zeppelin did.

i thought they were brother and sister. i take it i'm wrong...?

That is their stage persona, the refer to themselves as brother and sister. Actually they are ex-husband and wife (Jack has since remarried).

Well, drat and blast it, it should be longer ... 5 days is not nearly enough time to scarf down tasty pork and chicken in custom made BBQ sauce.

Bumpity bump bump bump.

Then how the heck did I manage to eat so much pork in such a short amount of time? I will do my best to book it to get home on Sunday, I will be depending on you guys for reviews so I hit the best sport. Mmmmmmmm, tasty swine flesh!

"Facts have a known liberal bias." - Stephen Colbert

Guess it's just the timing, I seem to recall at least the one 2 years ago being longer.

It's actively pissing me off that they keep shortening it ... perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me, but I seem to recall the first time I went to this bad boy (2 years ago) it was 2 full weeks. Last year it was one week, weekend to weekend. Now it is starting in the middle of the week and only going to the weekend. To make it worse, my vacation starts tomorrow and I will be away until sunday. I'm going to have to get out of WicCan Fest early on sunday and burn rubber to get the full savory pork and chicken goodness. Damn.
