Dani, you asked this of me in Natter yonks ago:
Megan, what do you consider a quintessentially Canadian first name?
Gordon! That is a very Canadian name for a boy. Gordon Sinclair, Gordon Pinsent, Gordon Downie... very Canadian.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
My friend Joanne's (American) fiance has a theory that all Canadian men are (in some cases secretly) named either Gordon or Doug. He wants to get a dog (Basset hound, preferably) and give it both names.

Gordon Douglas or Doug Gordon?Wow, good question. I have no idea. My preference would be the latter. It has a better ring to it.

I like Gordon Douglas. It sounds more distinguished, and thus more appropriate for the basset hound, who always barks with a British accent.

My inlaws are gone. No blood was shed but I was driven to the gym yesterday morning for some peace and quiet. =)

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Gordon is indeed v. Canuck, if maybe a little outdated - I don't know any Gordons my age.
I know 2 Dougs and a Dugald, though. Also Bassets named Winnie and Cooper.
Happy anniversary, Megan!

Our best man was a Gordon, but he's the only one I know personally.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes. I spent last evening in a dragon boat, and then having an impromptu dinner with Elena. So romantic. =)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MEGAN AND BRENT!!!!!
