So, my little pommes-de-terre, this is the plan for the next two weeks. Doubtless there'll be some updates between now and Jan 8th, but with Canada being the nation it is, these updates might be a tad sporadic. I have a laptop, but does Canada have internet access or does it make do with a couple of tin cans strung between Toronto and New York? Will I care? Naaah...
