Tomorrow morning I will again be at the mercy of the inefficient Newark Immigration office. So as I may not be able to post my weekly chat reminder very early I thought I'd do it today.
Not that these reminders are doing much good anyway. After only 5 bothered to chat two weeks ago it was discouraging to say the least to find that last Friday I had a solitary short chat with catmanron (although after he had to leave for his (Saturday) lunch I did see a fleeting appearance by Erkie/Erica/sundreme who probably seeing only my name there decided to visit another more alluring room. So be it if it's not wanted I will cease doing these reminders from next Friday. However this fan chat room will not be withdrawn. So I say best of luck to anyone else who wants to try to organise a session or just drop in at 9pm EST any Friday. Simply click on this link:-

I think anyways that my time might be better spent summarising the highlights (for me at least) of the two main message boards
the Newsgroup at:-
http://www.newsgroup.shorturl.com
was awash with further thoughts on the Archives at the CBC and also possibly the BBC
plus well wishes for Canada Day and the Fourth of July
Another thread answered queries about what to do and see in Toronto
And another highlighted the next series of Lightfoot tribute shows by the trio of
Aengus Finnan, Jory Nash & Terry Tufts, who we hope to catch in early November when they are playing fairly near to our home in New Jersey.
the Corfid Discusion Forum at:-
http://www.corfid.shorturl.com
continues to cover a wide range of topics, including two recent realisations that H.Camp's "Pride Of Man" on the first UA album, "Lightfoot!" was very prescient in view of the tragedy of 9/11.
Bruna/silverheel's planned North of England gathering see:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002301.html
continues to notch up interested fans including John in Stoke on Trent and hopefully a new poster Kie from Glasgie
