new aquarium coming soon

This weekend I'll be drifting around the Golden Horseshoe in an, ulp, minivan.

We're going to St. Catharines today to pick up some furnishings. Then it's off to the east tomorrow to pick up an aquarium from my old friend Mr. Seabright. Needless to say, we'll have Kenny plugged into the netbook, watching videos. And the netbook will be plugged into the cigarette lighter slot.

A minivan! The things I'll do for my family.
