Drole...very drole...

Don't be sad...you guys have a pretty swell CFL team...too bad it took a coach and quarterback (dickenson) from Calgary to make them what they are....

HA!

But anyhow...is it a good time in Fife?  Will there be wobbly pops-a-plenty to have?  The Cowgirl and myself are thinking about flying into either Vancouver or Abbotsford and renting a car...

Does that sound reasonable?

And yes...they sure did get naked during the playoffs...I know from being on the Red Mile I got flashed too many times to count...and once on digital video!

I've been reading that about your wife and 76 bus (sorry dude)

I work for THE airline, so I can go either way.  I guess it will depenend on the return schedule from both.  If I've got to rent a car, it should go back to the same place.  How far is it from either airport?  Is there a gaggle of people going?

Abby is way better in my opinion - less headaches and you don't have to drive through Richmond!

Plus Abby is alot closer to airspeed/the border

Perhaps we'll come down for 5 pm then.  I'm sure flights aren't that busy.  As long as you guys don't mind a rental of some sorts cruising with you.
