I love Niagara-on-the-Lake. Been there a couple times and always find something wonderful to do each time I go back (I have family in PA, so that's why I've been.)
And I relate to all your bad habits. Mine too! And that whole talking politics with family...I got burned on vacation on that one. Note to self: do not get into a discussion with relatives who adore Rush Limbaugh.

Pantyhose! Ugh. During my Portland years, I went with black tights...'cause a woman's legs will get icy cold waiting for Max on that Hollywood station platform in the middle of winter when those Gorge winds blow in from the east! :) But when I packed for the tropics, I tossed even those. Can't imagine what it's going to feel like to experience a winter season again...I'm trying to psych myself up at the thought of wearing 'real' shoes and tights again. And (gasp!) maybe even boots! :)

I caught the end of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" last weekend--have still only seen bits and pieces (as I stumble across it on cable). I agree about Mickey Rooney.

P.S. How did you MAKE root beer?? (Reminds me of when I couldn't believe that my Dad was telling me he remembered the Golden Gate Bridge being built...I'd just sort of thought it was ALWAYS there.) You mean, someone has to actually MAKE that A&W root beer? :)

It would take me so long to that. They are interesting to read though. Maybe I should try it.
