It's nice to know the Alliance has some sense of shame, isn't it?

*sigh*

I miss my CD player.

I finally took it in and got an estimate (the girl at the repair shop was entirely sympathetic about my wish to hang onto it, which cheered me). But they're still waiting for a part.

I know it's silly to grumble when I took 6 months to get around to finding a repair place, but I want my CD player back!

And yes, I know I'm at work and would not be able to use my CD player here anyway. That's not the point.

Important question:

The funeral is on Monday at 1:30. I do want to go, but I have a birthday party to get to Sunday evening and I don't want to miss it. My travel options (which my mother has offered to subsidize, but I don't want to go all nuts) are therefore essentially:

Bus (leave Montreal around midnight, get in 7 a.m., pay $130 round-trip).
Train (leave Montreal around 11 p.m., get in 8 a.m., pay $300 round-trip for a sleeper or slightly less to sit up).
Plane (leave Montreal 11 p.m., get in 12:30 a.m., pay slightly over $300 round-trip plus taxi at both ends).

So...

Deed is done. I'll take the train. Seems like the best overall option for arriving rested. Thank you all!
