Waterloo -> Toronto, check

As we wait in the airport for the plane to board, we are of course thinking of those things we forgot. Did we pack those important papers, or just throw them out? Do I have any underwear, or did I pack it all in storage?

Just kidding, mom, we have everything we need. We have made it to the airport in plenty of time, and as long as the plane doesn't leave while I am posting this blog entry, we will make the plane!

okay I've cracked the code for posting--now--glad to see you have successfully reached the North American jumping off point. I'll be breathlessly waiting for your reports. Hopefully 8 weeks is too short for you to develop a case of blog neglect.

Maybe you could post some instructions about posting on your website. So far I've had two people ask me how to do it and I have not been successful in explaining it to them. Mom

I agree with Mom's suggestion that Colin should explain how to post. I think I can do it only because I have an existing gmail account (well, eight existing gmail accounts actually) and I have decided to put my password in, as requested, despite my aversion for using a password in more than one site. I must say, the captchas generated within www.blogger.com are quite a challenge to read. I had commented about this to Colin in a February 21, 2006 email* when, not knowing that a captcha was a "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" trademarked by Carnegie Mellon University, I described Google's (Blogger is a Google blogsite) captchas as reminding me of "eye exams testing for colour blindness created by folks who
tried LSD a few too many times." Hmm, now is that a "y" with two random dots above it or is that an "i" scrunched beside a stylized "j"?

Glad to hear you are now in London en route to Grimsby.
