Yeah, that was lame. This is a bus trip. No flights home. There is nothing quite like seeing the country at 70 miles an hour, and 500 miles an hour from 30,000 feet up? That's just a cop-out.
See you at the finish line!
(*Which is, uh, undetermined as of this morning. Still negotiating with Toronto council and provincial and federal counterparts to close some streets and secure multi-level police presence. And I imagine most major national networks will be there, but we're still talking about financial compensation. Oh, the Queen has confirmed her attendance, though.)

The Canadian music industry has decided not to produce any material until the 22nd of November, when it will release its first triple-length charity compilation (to be distributed at the parade).
Songs will include a Four Tops cover by Avril Lavigne and a throat singing medley of Paul Anka jingles by Anne Murray. Lorena McKennitt has agreed to do an interpretive harp solo, which cultivates with her burning her own instrument.
Bonus DVD-ROM material includes a three-hour .avi-format video of Rita McNeil freaking out on peyote buttons.
On the twenty-second of November, all the squirrels, raccoons and birds that have ever visited the homestead's back deck and been terrified by Bryce will join together and stand at attention and pay tribute to Thirty Days by observing thirty minutes of silence.
Now, what will Nick think the next time he hears Willie Nelson singing, "On The Road Again".
I've already booked LeBreton Flats for the celebration. I'm told Led Zeppelin will reuniting for the occasion.
"Oh, the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round...." This just in -- day cares across the country have issued a voluntary 30-minute ban on this ditty in honour of TDAA veteran NT-V. They will instead intone "row, row, row..." followed by an obligatory time-signal bleep.
