"Wishing to honour your request for privacy, we were unable to complete our housekeeping service."  A card slipped under the door when we declined the services -- such a gracious reply to an ordinary request.

To the fine folks who keep Canada secure, my husband was clearly part of an international syndicate of syrup smugglers.  But rather than make a run for the gate, he stepped out of the security line, explained that he's just a mad-for-maple tourist…More »
