Bah!  I can't help it if you live near an airport that only has overpriced
airlines.  Drive to Knoxville or something.  Check flights to Burlington,
VT, and rent a car (or I could even pick you up if you're there while I'm
driving past).  And what's this about a foreign country? I thought Canada
was the 51st through 62nd states.  Or however many.  You know.  We let Tom
Green in; the least they can do is be friendly in return.

(Actually, on my one previous trip to Canada, the border "guard" going in
had the temperament of Doug McKenzie.  "You're Americans?  Go ahead in,
eh?"  "You need some ID or somethin'?"  "Naw.  Have fun, eh?"  It was the 
Colonel-Klink-wannabe US guard coming back into NY that was a jackass.)

WebCT is miserable, but I was still at least partly joking.  :)
