Status as of 11:25 PM 11/26/08 Hi guys ! You got 'em all ! except one, Q217 ....smilin' - hint - Our great friend in England Bru absolutely loves the song - that'll just about give 'er away..lol.. but I will now leave it up for you experts - the regular players to chew over that one- or whomever wishes to to take a crack at it...and go ahead and post TEN NEW CLUES FOR THE HOLIDAY - while you are lettin the belts out a notch, and grow weary of Turkey sandwiches - these ten new ones will be here for ya. Thanks for your patience, I'll not trouble you with my goings on...I'll simply say I am glad to be back among the walking 
I'll make the 'you're correct !' short and....short here to get right to the ten new ones after posting below the 2 of 3 you got since last 'X' files.
Q219 ....costs eight -
Ron nailed it with
'Does You Mother Know' ~gl
Q221 Now if .... Oh,Linda! Nailed it with
'Long River' ~gl
Congrats to you both,Ron and Linda !
I'm glad you are back among the living again, Linda, and domestic Terra- Firma. Wow!- is all I can say on the Tuscan(y) Italian trip with friends to Haute Cuisine School ! - cool ! can I come over ? sumpin' smells good....lol..... I have heard many such top-drawer fine cuisine cooking schools are considered graduate-level work, was this a week of non-credit enrichment cramming or in pursuit of a(nother?) sheepskin ? ....I do hope you and your friends watched the presumed-to-be-obligatory
'Under the Tuscan Sun' DVD with Dianne Lane - just about my favourite actress, before you went.
Linda have you seen her in
'Indian Summer' ? -its a really good movie - sort of 'Big Chill' meets 'Camp Hava30-Supai-something-crisis' ! Its very atmospheric, beautiful autumn scenery - all filmed on an Island in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, if I remember right......it IS worth seeing if you liked Big Chill or like Dianne Lane or the ensemble cast that filmed on location.
Ron - good that you and I are both out of hibernation..... lol.. unique characteristic of our species
homosapiencheesepuffsnbeerdaBears when we take our near-annual respit if we are of sufficiently at the ....'food level stored up adequately' state as Winter is setting in...lol.
Ron I really did like your Q posed in your thread on Lightfoot is to Canada, as ( ) is to the USA. Very astute question. My
answer was
