Late in the second period of the game last night as I sat with my 9 year old daughter watching happily as Canada did their business with Russia I recalled the last time I was so enthralled with a Canda-Russia game.
It was 1972 as I sat in the darkened gymnasium of St. Patrick's Catholic Elementary School In Pincourt, Quebec watching that final game. The janitors, dressed in their work blues, were scaring the younger kids as the shouted at the large (for that era) black and white television mounted on the wheeld dolly. And I was 9 - cool.
Alan is apparently a Gen X-er who has hit 40... 41... 42... 43... 44... err... 45!... yikes...46!!! Holy Moly - 47. NIX THAT!!! Moley Most Holy... now 48....ummm... 49.
Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
