"One little chair for one of you..."

"One little chair for one of you, and a bigger chair for two to curl up in, and for someone who likes to rock, a rocking chair in the middle."

"Look up, look wa-a-ay up…"

Feeling old? Yeah, me too...

I bit of holiday muzak caught my ear today, I don't remember what it was, but I was brought back to my childhood. For 15 minutes every day I was with friends; Friendly, Jerome and Rusty.

I wanted to visit him, try all 3 chairs, even share the bigger chair with my sister if I had to.

Friendly died in 2000 when Robert Homme died.

Canada First, Canada last, Canada always - Sir Wilfrid Laurier

Canada's seventh Prime Minister. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilfrid_Laurier

“Two races share today the soil of Canada … These people had not always been friends. But I hasten to say it …There is no longer any family here but the human family. It matters not the language people speak, or the altars at which they kneel.”
