In honour of the competition Thursday evening, I just HAD to find a copy of the movie “Cool Runnings” for slaDE and I to watch before his big debut! Gosh, how I love the Library … after several attempts of getting it before someone else managed to, I had my sticky little fingers on it….
SlaDE~ and I were tingling with excitement at the thought of his hurtling down the bobsleigh run at COP, twice, without having to pay anything other than the membership fee with joining the National Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association.

It’s so funny, this comic .. and so true (but not just for Men!). Thought the friends and family in my life who ride a Harley would enjoy this …. Did you know that HD doesn’t just symbolize the word Harley Davidson …. it also stands for what happens when you go into a hog…
