have a great vacation! re: CITYTV - yeah it sucks to be those getting the axe - I refuse to watch CITY and as far a Rogers - yes they are just money bags with retransmitters, not real Television Arts professionals same thing happened to Hamilton's CHCH we lost many excellent tv people years ago, now our so-called superstation just broadcasts B and C movies and limited news

I listened to you talk about trying to get room rates for the olympics in vancouver.(sorry, we don't know yet) You were so right not going. Unless you have the Olympics in your own city or you have a best friend with a lot of room the olympics in person are just for the rich. It is too bad. I checked out the sky high rates at HOTEL.COM during Vancouver’s Winter Olympics next month: ……..2 star; Super 8 in Langley, B.C.; (40km from city centre) $300.CDNper NIGHT…….….3 star Comfort Inn; or Best Western; (downtown)$720 CDN per NIGHT…………..4 star Fairmount Vancouver Airport; (11km from city centre)$2000.CDN per NIGHT

Anne Mroczkowski was my favourite on-air person at CITY. I'm going to miss her a lot and hope she surfaces somewhere else soon - unless she is happy to retire after 30 years. I doubt very much that I will tune in now that she is gone. She brought a level of class, grace, charm and talent that is rare. Please pass on our condolences and warm regards if you know Anne.

Sadly, City TV is a thing of the past. A once really cool and unique little part of Toronto is gone. Oh, they still may be broadcasting, but let's face it, when CHUM sold out to CTV, which then sold to Rogers, the writing was on the wall. Rogers is not a producer of programming they are strictly a broadcaster of content. (And lame content at that.) It's been a slow spiral into the abyss for City Tv. Ed the Sock, Silverman, the building at Queen and John, Jo Jo Chintoh, Jim McKenny, Speaker's Corners, Harold Husein, and now half the rest of the gang. Not to mention totally unique and interesting content replaced with pap reality shows that feature morons handing roses to dumb-bells. Moses, where are you now?

If your ball rolls under a plant, leave it - Rattlesnakes. Shake out your sleeping bag before getting in - Scorpions. Drink plenty of water - 2L hourly (not booze) - Dehydration. Wear a hat - Heat Stroke. Lots of Sunscreen, several times a day - Burnt Skin. Don't leave valuables in your room - Rampant theft. Try to enjoy yourself!

I flew domestic in Mexico 17 years ago. Mexico city -Guadalahara.I know the spelling is wrong.One guy had a carry on with a dead pig in it .Back then you could still smoke in the last 10 rows.As soon as the seatbelt signal went off half the plane;s passengers rushed to the back and lit up.I think the pilot anticipated it as the tail end of the plane only dropped for around 10 - 15 seconds before he had the plane flying level again.HAVE A GREAT TRIP MEX

Hi Mo, Just Do It! Try the bag of carrion. Might mess with your vacation plans a little, but imagine the entertainment value of witnessing security dealing with it!

Have a great holiday Maureen! Try to get to Sedona while you're there - spectacularly beautiful. PS - You left out one of the all-time great movie lines this morning: "Go ahead, make my day."

So glad you mentioned the CityTV layoffs. Isn't it odd that most of the CityTV employees let go yesterday were women in their 40's that have been there for years? I guess it is the nature of show business but I am sick of the older man with a young female host B.S. How long until Gord Martineau has a 20 year old co-anchor? Shame on Rogers!
