Canuk Greg from Ottawa, Canada

There I go again - siad=said.

I notice that I have pushed you over to page 15. Happy to be of service.

Thanks CG, got 'er done!

Just popping in to see how the 'old' man is doing and lo and behold you have youtubed!! I had the wonderful pleasure of having had lunch with this man a few years ago (not saying how many!! but was in the 80's) A very gracious man too. He had just come back from South Africa and was very angry about mining and the hardships of the country. Brings back memories, loved Bridge Over Troubled Water, wonderful music.
We get Greys Anatomy here too but have never watched it, hadn't realised Snow Patrol was the theme tune.

Greg, Thanks for viewing my vid actually I should have said shadow Minister with the current opposition party of Labor but it is looking very much like Labor will win the election later this year. (John Howard is very unpopular her now) Yes, he is showing as much 'Power and Passion' as party policy will allow but, I am sure he is having inside influence.

Great choice. Hubby wants to know if your into 'Rush' as they are his favorite band.
lol. He also asks if you have seen them or can contact them, let them know they are being requested to travel Down Under! lol.

Thanks CG - I needed that. Love Paul Simon. Creedence is playing on the radio now.

CRICKET, according to the witty Bill Bryson (In a Sunburned Country, about his travels Down Under): 'After years of patient study (and with cricket there can be no other kind) I have decided that there is nothing wrong with the game that the introduction of golf carts wouldn’t fix in a hurry. It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavors look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect. I don’t wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game. It is the only sport that incorporates meal breaks. It is the only sport that shares its name with an insect. It is the only sport in which spectators burn as many calories as players—more if they are moderately resteless. It is the only competitive activity of any type, other than perhaps baking, in which you can dress in white from head to toe and be as clean at the end of the day as you were at the beginning.

'Imagine a form of baseball in which the pitcher, after each delivery, collects the ball from the catcher and walks slowly with it out to center field; and that there, after a minute’s pause to collect himself, he turns and runs full tilt toward the pitcher’s mound before hurling the ball at the ankles of a man who stands before him wearing a riding hat, heavy gloves of the sort used to handle radio-active isotopes, and a mattress strapped to each leg. Imagine moreover that if this batsman fails to hit the ball in a way that heartens him sufficiently to try to waddle forty feet with mattresses strapped to his legs, he us under no formal compunction to run; he may stand there all day, and, as a rule, does. If by some miracle he is coaxed into making a misstroke that leads to his being put out, all the fielders throw up their arms in triumph and have a hug. Then tea is called and everyone retires happily to a distant pavilion to fortify for the next siege. Now imagine all this going on for so long that by the time the match concludes autumn has crept in and all your library books are overdue. There you have cricket.'

OH WOWWWWWW!!!! Gracelands is the CD that I sing along to in the car!!! (Paul Simon does do it a bit better......)

you are so right Greg,about my youtube on the health page ,I tryed to send it to Gath and for some reason my email wouldn't send it,I'll try again!
And I'm glad you liked my eagle painting ,I've done a lot of paintings and have pics of some.
I love your Paul Simon,I'm going to have to find a new one if Gath does post my grandma!

OMG Greg are you popular!! Hadn't stopped in in awhile! Thanks for stopping by my page and for the comments! Just wanted to let you know that only one of the rappers is my boy..Franklin 'frankie g', the other boy in back is his friend Nigel. I also have a 16 yr old girl, Annabelle. (God help me)

Greg, what is it that you don't understand about cricket?

Greg, ignore the above question.
I have left a comment for you on my page.

Greg, you are lucky to have such a talented daughter. And Yes, I guessed about the 'crickety' thing. Actually, I hadn't realised that cricket was popular in Canada until one day I was strolling across the river flats at Edmonton and I heard a familiar sound of leather on willow. I followed the sound and there before my eyes, was a genuine game of cricket, players in their creams, a slow dignified clapping from the crowd (of about 20) and shouts of 'Owzat' from the players. I felt quite at home.

Greg, there's nobody else like Ray.

My hubby is thinking I am going crazy. Between Ian's and your choice of musical video...I have been sniffling for a while.

Thank you dear friends....great choices!

Hey Greg
Thank you for your gift. I apologise if I sound less than enthusiastic about it... but what is beavertail pastry?

And thank you for all your 'heads ups' regarding my beautiful offspring appearing on other pages of this site.

Hey Greg, Haven't forgotten the 'spanking whine' label, but getting busy the end of the month & quarter with both offices and Palm Sunday, and getting the newsletter done. I will do one, and then I expect you to assume to position for the birthday spanking!

OH My, I just re-read that, didn't sound quite right did it?

Greg, EWWW, toe jam? The two labels I am working on are yours and one for the Shiraz we have going.

Greg, They like your idea for the shiraz wine, they guys want to call it Toes In The Sand Shiraz or T.I.T.S Shiraz for short! See what you started!

Have to say Greg that has to be one of the most wonderful youtubes isn't it, love it!

well Greg ...which one do you want me to be? tee hee

Hello Greg - I thought it was time I called in to your page and paid you a visit and you're not here, you're at work. So I'll just leave you a pot of homemade pumpkin soup to warm you up when you get home.
Save you having to cook something.

Thank you for turning my page, CG. I'll never catch up to you (page wise).

Hi Greg, thanks for stopping by and trying to give me a way to do what I want with the youtube, but so far nothings working. I'm going to follow Nancy's advice and get in touch with Gath to see if he can think of something that might work. Oh, glad you helped push me over to the next page too. Stay sweet.

I'll comment twice since you said you liked my latest avatar....lol.

Just a little test.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the push into page 2. And yes I am still looking for star dust. It’s getting harder and harder now to advance through the ranks as there is a fair amount of competition. Doing a little math, I figure now there is an average of 133 points in score between each position in rank. That’s for the next 34 positions anyway. At least that was what it was a few days ago. Anyway, I am now at a rank of 134 and my score is 11250. Not sure what I will do when and if I make it into the top 100. At one point I despaired of ever making that but now that I am only 34 away... who knows? I guess it possible.Thanks again for asking.

And now, Back to http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/index.php

Darn it! Thought for sure Iwas going to turn your page here lol

BobC - I'll try to turn the page for Greg.

Here's a big push, shove, I tripped over. It'll probably need one more shove after this one.

Yes, looks like one more shove to get it over the edge. Hold tight, Greg, you're going over.

Seems like I miscalculated.

Wow - loved the song! You always have the neatest sentiments.

Still no luck with Scott Matthews - If we had only known, could have posted two out by now!! Have they said how long it will be?? I do hope you enjoy the CD after all that.

Greg: I noticed you asked where Sanibel Island is. (I was snooping through Deb's photostream in Flickr) It is in Florida's West coast, accessible through a toll bridge (not tall, toll as in $6.50) and it is a must see for anyone visiting Florida.

Hi Greg - No, we have no plans for Canada this summer. We thought we might run up over Easter, but that isn't going to happen either. There is a fellow that does machining for motorcycles near Thessalon. My husband sent him an e-mail and he never responded. The deer slayer is in parts right now. The 'rear-end' needed some work and a few other parts. (It is a 1977) The BMW Rally is in Wisconsin in July and our goal is to make it. We thought we would take the boat ride across Lake Michigan over to Wisconsin. As far as the turkeys go....I was looking out my bathroom window about a week ago and I saw all these brown 'things' at the end of our dog's run. Then they moved. Well.......I didn't have my glasses on, so I came downstairs and lo and behold we counted about 23 turkeys. We have lived out here in the country for about 25 years and we have never seen turkeys like that. The first turkey I ever saw here was 'Tom' and that was last Fall. That duck....He followed me out of the grocery store in Florida this past winter. I thought he was going to follow me right to the car, but when he got to an island in the parking lot, he stopped. I thought maybe he wanted my groceries! I hope this finds you and your family doing well. Do you have any big travel plans this summer?

Hi Greg, I have left an explanation of the 'Treaty' song on my page.
I loved your song today. I actually reminds me of 'Wind Beneath My Wings'

Greg - I had better have another go at turning your page over after miscalculating yesterday. Give you a surprise when you wake up.
