Another week .....

Friday! TGI Friday! Well, another week another loonie. Ooops, that doesn't quite rhyme. Here's a money lesson for the non-Canadians. The "loonie" is what we call our $1.00 coin. (Now, don't make a joke. Our loonie is worth more than just a penny of your money.) We also have a 2-dollar coin and we call it "toonie." Why do we call them so? The reason for "loonie" is obvious. On one side of the coin a relief of the Canadian goose, aka loon. "Loonie", get it? Now for the "toonie", it's more of a joke if not a tongue-in-cheek designation. Maybe even due to lack of imagination. It's "too" dollars, you see. So it's "toonie."

I can't be a good teacher...never mind.

So it's the end of the week and I do not have big plans for the weekend. Besides, I will probably be working at home, remotely babysitting our computers in the office. Also, Mom is also on duty for the next two days. Well, I'll be stuck with Albert (or he'll be stuck with me) and we'll probably have our own Men's Day, unless Cristina sticks with us too. Too bad, I do not have car parts to show him. Maybe we can go out in the cold and I'll teach him how to drive to make use of his new license.

Just rambling .....
