Hey Maniacs,

I booked early at the Sheraton for ATB, leveraging my bets on another Ottawa ATB Bus/Hotel Tour, at the same time ... I am presently 99.99% probable in taking the Bus/Hotel Tour and wondering if anyone would be interested in taking over my reservation ??

It is for one night, Saturday, March 29th ... and, is about $135.xx after all the taxes, etc....

I will hold on to it until the last possible moment and/or I confirm my reservation with the local Hotel/Bus Tour ....

Please advise if you are interested ... andy ;-)

I'll even give him an extra hug for you Jo Jo :D On another note, it sure feels good to be called a young whippersnapper !! Today in Shoppers Drug Mart the woman recommended the anti-aging moisturizer that would be great to "fill in my wrinkles and fine lines" :? I left the store feeling very down. Your little comment has helped to cheer me up :D

Don't worry Joanne, everyone is going to be jealous of our team.

With such a great name (A Crockwork Orange), our captain must be very creative and will certainly bring home the bacon. He will get past the "grim reaper" and after our performances, will reap the glory as we cheer him on the track.

Sounds like a lot of fun, I hope I remember to pass the chip.lol
Cheers,
Jill

I hope it's not like track and field where you have to keep running while you pass the baton :shock: :wink:

TIP - the person that is waiting for you will remove the velco ankle chip. Trust me you don't want to run for 10K /15K, stop and bend over to try to pull it off. :?

Minor point ... 401 doesn't go to Hamilton. You have to get onto the 403 or take the DVP/Gardner/QEW. Don't want anyone getting lost. ;)

Denis (or should I say dgrant1111?) have you decided if you are racing it, just 3 weeks before Boston?

One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again

So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
