    Judy is always lovely to tweet with! My other half – Frank – doesn’t have much time to tweet. Must be a guy thing.

    I’m Canadian but have been in the US for past 18 years. I think that I still “get” most of these. Awfully clever!!

      Thanks for the comment Anne-Marie. I guess you can take the Canadian out of Canada, but maybe you can’t take Canada out… sorry, what were we talking about? I checked out the BOOMBox Network. Great idea! Plenty of boomer travel in Canada, and I’m noticing more Canadians interested in exploring here at home. So much space, so little time.
