Very funny movie.
More funny was the crowd at the Cineplex for the 5pm show. There was a fairly even split between thirtysomething’s and septuagenarians. It was very strange.

On Friday evening Leah and I headed out to Port Credit to enjoy a night of music at the Mississauga Waterfront Festival.

The idea is that as rain and snow accumulate in the catch basin it will raise the egg into the spinning fan blades – thereby releasing the [...]
New Year’s Eve at The Devonshire Inn
Published by January 3rd, 2009 in 2008, Chris and Leah, Food & Wine, Goin' Out and Travel. 0 CommentsOn our return journeys from Kingston, Leah and I routinely detour through Prince Edward County. It’s by no means a short cut, but the scenery is nice, and the wine and hospitality are even better.
