Get a room fun boys.

Thanks kookycanooky. Velvet and Booche, I think if I dressed in the get-up Daveyboy suggested those ladies would not only leave me well enough alone, but no one would have the guts to tell me I couldn't camp anywhere either

Hey Folks,
Looking to take the family (wife & two kids) to PEI for a vacation this summer. Did some research and it looks like Cavendish is the place to go, but it also looks a little "touristy". We will definitely spend a couple of nigths there for the kids sake, but would love to know of any other awesome beaches/campgrounds/provincial parks to visit that are more the hidden gems, if you will. Thanks!
BTW, for any of you disc golf enthusiasts, I will be playing in a tourney at Hillcrest Farms which is supposed to be one of the nicest courses in Canada. Can't wait!

FWIW, I did actually come close to the fetal position in the alley outside the Burt show!

That is awesome.

The ease in which she throws the table is truly impressive as well.

Haha, this was about an hour before the show got cancelled. Probably my greatest photobomb ever. At least I'll have that.

Jeebus, this is GREAT. I've got in on and the football game turned down. I gotta force myself to turn it off though and save it for later cuz I've missed the entire first half of Den-NE so far...

The Devin Cuddy Band
"Well, it says here on the bio that he's Jim Cuddy's son, but from the opening notes, you can throw your preconceptions away. This is no junior singer-songwriter trying to find his way around the acoustic guitar with heartfelt tunes. He's on the piano for one thing, and no, he's no Elton balladeer either. Instead, it sounds like he's from some other generation entirely, some made-up one that has touches of country in the 50's, New Orleans in the 20's, and Cab Calloway in the 40's. Jazzy-bluesy numbers are swapped with rollicking proto-rockabilly, everything swinging.
Everything here was written by Cuddy, who is arriving on the recording scene fully formed. Each number is a little gem, a cool story, whether tongue-in-cheek (My Son's A Queer), or passionate retro. There's not a nod to anything post-1959, aside from some lyrics, with the few instruments the same ones those old jazzers or Sun Studio guys were using. The piano leads it all, and it sounds like an old upright workhorse, something rolled onto the stage in the high school gymnasium when the dance band arrived. Engineer Tim Vesely (Rheostatics) adds no effects, no ambiance or layers, adding to the antique flair. Zach Sutton's drums go boom, Nichol Robertson's guitar solos sound like a 50's guitar, Devon Richardson's bass is felt more than heard. It was recorded live, no overdubs, and you can tell, in the very best ways. Even Cuddy's voice is out of time, and certainly sounds way older than 25. But he's been in love with Armstrong-era jazz since his teens, has studied both classical and jazz, and has been workshopping this sound at weekly gigs in Toronto for three years. And he's absolutely developed a style and blend like no other.
Most of all, it's fun. This is a good-time sound, a few laughs, lots of rollicking playing, great music to groove to. Cuddy defies the expectations of any new, young performer, and especially with that surname. But Cuddy fans, you'll love him still, just for completely different reasons.." - NOW magazine" By: Bob Mersereau
That's cool stuff - thanks!

Haha, Come at me bro is the absolute best.

I miss you filthy wooks.

Exactly, but if they're going to be so influenced by the word "liability", the least they could do is offer up an alternative.

Working for municipal recreation I can see both sides. Simplest solution would be to just build a rink somewhere else. Why does it HAVE to be on a pond? If the little village I work for can do it on its limited budget, I'm sure a town with Chestermere's resources could do it too.

I've been digging Bill Callahan's Dream River lately.

Woops!
Didn't the Ti-Cats play the RR's the last time they made the Grey Cup - like 25 years ago?

May I suggest the following series? It's a little tough at first, but you'll settle in by chapter 5.

I personally have not noticed this mostly because the Leaf games are blacked out in my region and I vehemently refuse to watch Ottawa games. But I believe you and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
