It's fun. <em>Les Says: "WILL be able to drive"?! Hell, I'm driving every chance I get! I've pretty much decided as well, to temporarily ditch the idea of my Dream Truck in favour of taking The Fly-Girl's minivan off her hands. It's a closer-in-time set of wheels for me. Of course, that means I'll have to utilize that nasty stepper machine more often now, if I'm going to be power walking less. I guess it will be worth the trade off, though.</em> I’m late to this here party, but I am so happy to hear you will be able to drive. It’s fun.

Wow! It's incredible enough that you re-learned those driving skills, but I got just giddy when I read that you LOVE DRIVING now. That's amazing! You are definitely going places. Minnesota first, right? <em>Les Says: Weeeellll.... I think I'm going to be starting a little closer to home at first. Besides, since I'm counting on being able to set things on fire and shoot up beer bottles in Minnesota, I'd prefer to NOT be knee deep in snow during the festivities!</em> That is SO GREAT, Les! Wow!

Now maybe you can take a road trip and meet all us blogger people. Don't leave tomorrow though as we're supposed to get 40 cms. of snow. ;) <em>Les Says: No, not THAT soon, unfortunately, but it WILL be sooner than I had originally hoped. There's another blogger there that you and I could meet up with. We could piss off the Mounties at the Parliament building and get ourselves arrested, what say? My mom would be so proud! (Do they let us blog from jail, do you think?)</em> Hey, right on Les. Now maybe you can take a road trip and meet all us blogger people.

I’m really looking forward to “Not-Quite-Christmas”… not too many steps left before I can start putting dates on theses excursions, either - I’m getting right buzzed now that I’m realizing that.
