Actually it would have been a great idea if I would just leave for Canada to surprise you ... but than again, I don't have your adresses. Which would mean I had to stay in a hotel ... I would probably get robbed ... not that I think Canada is criminal ... but a schlemiel like me will probably get robbed sooner or later ... and with no money, I would have to beg for my food on the streets of Vancouver Shocked
Ricky ... of course we would give you our addresses! No need to stay in hotels! Then again, if you stayed here you would have to guard your possessions with great care since my dog does think everyone's purses and suitcases are her own person shopping grounds. She digs in, head first, little butt in the air, searching for mints, socks or anything she finds of interest. So you'd still get robbed ... but we'd feed ya coffee and chocolate (which we live on around here) with no begging required!
:grommit: And no, my little flying monkey disguised as a Jack Russell has not been tormenting Peapod lately. In fact, she hasn't seen her in ages!
I saw Peap, though! We went out for coffee yesterday to catch up on all the gossip. Once I got her to quit happy dancing about your return, Ricky, we did get into some good juicy gossip about the Peap (which I will only hint at so others here can torment her).
Oh ... a word of warning, Ricky. If you have never been to Mexico and gone on a taxi ride, you can still get the full experience by visiting us here and riding around with Peapod. One hand on horn, other waving the finger at old geezers in slow moving SUVs, (I learned some new curse words!), loud music (unfortunately Beach Boys yesterday) blaring from the stereo, car dancing, and screeching stops six inches from the bumper of the vehicle in front of you at every light. All this while carrying on a full conversation with me. I sat gripping the dash (you can still see finger indents) with my eyes closed most of the ride. I love riding with Peap ... it's better than any roller coaster I've ever been on! Of course I also love to sky dive, kyak and enjoy most adrenaline sports. Not for the faint of heart but well worth the experience.
Oh ... there was no cash involved in the speculation. Unless you count our willingness to pay Peapod to quit whining!
It's a bit disappointing that our fantasy of meeting the famous Ricky is not in the works, but we're sure glad to have you back here at least! :thumbleft:
