Across this great nation of ours, the long weekend that just passed was noted with nothing more officious sounding than 'Civic Holiday'.
I don't even drive a Honda.
In honour of that, this video clip gets nothing more than 'highlights' to introduce it. Though it does end with a naked bum, so be forewarned of that.
I can't express the depth of my disappointment on discovering that it wasn't your bottom, Simon.

Your Civic Holiday was across this great nation of our EXCEPT IN QUEBEC! We chumps had to trudge to work yesterday.
And I DO drive a Civic.
That was a pretty cute bum.

Sarah - I don't intend for my own bum to be the feature in any upcoming video snips, but if it is, you can bet your ass I'll probably be as tipsy as I was last weekend during the wedding I attended.
Tasha - it is sadly ironic that so much Canadian national minutiae is underscored by the disclaimer: "Except in Quebec." Good for the question, "Where should we bomb first?" but not really much else.

Sounds like Tavish is going to have an infectious laugh, too. I suspect that I would find it hard not to laugh along with any baby or toddler, because usually their source of amusement is either 1) befuddling, or 2) cute in a way that only an innocent child's can be.
Very glad it was not your bum, Simon.

Declan has the sweetest little voice. And of course there's nothing like a baby belly-laugh. How's the training of that little bum going?

HeHe, Civic... Only you, Wunder.
I'm getting DSL soon (Kin ya believe it, Mon???) and when I do, I'm coming straight here to watch ALL your video clips.
Psssst ...Simon, a personal observation- you know how it seems I only have male readers with a "token" female (for appearances *wink*) here and there? What's up with all these women?
Mark, what's he payin' you???

Linda, I'm not getting any monetary kickbacks. Is that an option?
Actually, I am a little envious at the number of women who read Simon's blog, because they're so much more responsive (i.e., they actually leave freakin' comments).
In fact, on my blog, only men leave comments. Not enough cute baby stuff, maybe. Oh well, I'm sticking to what I'm doing. Although, I did just post an entry with a lot of cute kid pics.

it kind of reminds me of the time you left your camera here and upon return behold some bum shot whence they came I know not.
