1. FCA Ottawa/le bureau national
We are moving. At least let me re-phrase that, I am moving and I am going to be calling on local area volunteers to please help out. The good thing about down-sizing is that the office should be ready to move and in two hours we could be done. Right now the place looks disgusting, but that's part of the wonderful world of moving.
Changement de numéro de téléphone/new phone number
Even though our mailing address can stay the same, our telephone and fax numbers unfortunately can not. I will be able to publish the new numbers after November 23. Malheureusement, notre numéro de télécopier et de téléphone changeront après le 23 novembre. Notre address ne changera pas.

Smiles/Souries - Thanks Jeannot/merci
First, the one I messed up from last week in French. Premièrement, en français:
Pour vos secrétaires mais pas pour vos femmes... LES HOMMES...
Pourquoi les hommes sont comme les places de parking? Les bons sont toujours pris et ceux qui restent sont pour les handicapés.
Quelle est la différence entre un homme, une cravate et une ceinture?
La cravate serre le cou; La ceinture serre la taille; L'homme sert a rien.
Pourquoi les hommes portent-ils la cravate?
Ça a l'air moins con qu'une laisse.
Qu'est-ce qu'un homme et un chien ont en commun?
Ils pensent juste a jouer avec leur queue.
Les hommes c'est comme de l'essence.
Des pieds à la ceinture c'est du super, De la ceinture aux épaules c'est de l'ordinaire, Et des épaules à la tête c'est du sans plomb.
Les hommes, c'est comme la lettre Q.
Un gros zéro avec une petite queue.
Dieu a créé les femmes belles et stupides.
Belles pour que les hommes puissent les aimer, et stupides pour qu'elles puissent aimer les hommes.
Les hommes, c'est comme les grenouilles.
Ça pense juste a sauter
Un homme, c'est comme un vidéo.
Avance, recule, avance, recule, stop, eject.
Now from Jeannot in English. No, it's not the same stuff.
A man had tickets to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final right at centre ice. As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No," he says, "the seat is empty."
"This is incredible said the man. Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Stanley Cup and not use it?" He says. "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967." "Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone-a friend or relative, or even a neighbor-to take the seat?" The man shakes his head "No. They're all at the funeral."

About a year ago, when I first came
back to FCA, we got involved with Ski Jumping
There is support for our case within COA and we may see some positive recommendations come out of the final report.
I am not asking you to hold your breath, but I think Ski Jumping's efforts and vigilance have been well worth the small finanical contribution FCA gave Ski Jumping to project a common front for non-funded sports. I will keep you advised.
That's it for this week. I'll keep
everyone advised about the move, new numbers, and where you can find me if you
ever decide to come to
