Ahhhh Canadian Television
#1

I'm up here back home for a week to take care of my Grandmother and my Mother because my Mother can't talk for a week due to a procedure she had and I CAN WATCH CANADIAN TV! WOO HOO!! YAY!!

I watched a bit of 22Minutes today and Red Green. I'm looking forward to watching Airfarce and I have never seen the Rick Mercer Report.

Gawd how I missed Canadian TV. I am SO out of the loop on Canadian news.

Wish I had Canadian television on the cable back where I live.

Cool, my friend in Connecticut always complains about the TV in the U.S, he misses his Canadian shows too, that and president's choice foods for some reason. I know Id be lost without my Corner Gas, Hockey Night In Canada and Trailer Park Boys.

Plattsburgh eh? I could have sworn I watched a Hockey Night in Canada game in a hotel there one time. Regardless, welcome back. I don't hold Plattsburgh in high regard so I admire you for the fact you're able to live there.

Cheers

Then I'd bet you weren't too happy that it was pre-empted last night in favour of figure skating. Figures CBC would knock Rick out of his slot for dancing on ice but not for curling....

I have been there once. I took a ferry from there to Vermont to go see the Hip in Bolton Valley.

I don't live here, I'm just here for a week. I live south of here, in the Adirondacks.

I was born and raised in a little town just outside of Plattsburgh. Most of my immediate family and extended family live up here.

BTW, yes, this area is very much redneckville. I'm a country girl, but I consider myself much more worldly, intelligent, and cultured than many people here.

Yep, that's a section of Plattsburgh Called Cumberland Head. I've been on that ferry too many times to count. If you would have kept heading north on 87 or 9 you would have eventually hit where I am staying, which is north of Plattsburgh

I now realize that it's the MONDAY report. *SIGH* some other time when I'm up here.

And then they pre-empted This Is Wonderland for figure skating last night, too. Not that I plan my week around TIW or anything, but still...

Hey, it's only an hour away but, alas, David was mistaken, his appointment is the weekend after the junos, so it's the Junos on tape for me

Allow me to provide for your fix:

"Aboot"

"Good Canadian Boys!"

"I don't fuck'n know Ricky"

"The Beechcombers will not be seen tonight so that we may bring you a live Curling extravaganza"

"Paul Martin"

"Aboot"

"Harvey's makes your hamburger a beautiful thing"

"Coming Up Next on City TV: 3 hours of non stop beaver, set your VCR's!"
