thanks andem, weekend has already started for me and getting better every minute... i second that, everyone has a designated driver for your long weekend.
May 24 is Victoria Day in Canada, JDream. Our ex-queen's birthday. It is celebrated with partying over the long weekend with fireworks displays across the country including huge displays in large cities such as Toronto and Vancouver.
It's usually called May 2 4. Not May 24 . Possibly because Canadians called a case a 24 beers a "2 4".
