What a Weekend !

Hope you enjoyed the weekend....not much sun but hey it was mild & best of all The
Bombers smoked Montreal on Saturday afternoon...Sweet!! (just like the Al's old kicker)....smallest crowd in 10 years but the atmosphere was still loud & fun....
hoping for a sellout Nov. 8 when Kevin Glenn & Tiger Cats come to town for a second
place showdown..

Frazier, Tom, Doug Speirs and me had a blast scaring people at the Spooktacular
Haunted House in Dugald Friday night...causing terrifying shouts is very addictive
....check out Doug's story in The Free Press today and then go check out the ranch...
its very well done and hey...its Halloween this coming Saturday !! It seems over
the last few years its not so much for the kids anymore...its the adults having most
of the fun at costume parties....Have Vampire Mask Will Party this weekend !!....

And we can party an extra hour..."Clocks fall back " this coming weekend ! I'm not
looking forward to even earlier darkness though...as the old song goes " The Nights
Are Forever ".......

Beau Knows... that's its great to be a sports nut in October ! I mean here I am sitting in my Viking sweats & tee shirt watching a great Monday Night Football game ( Go Vikings !!) in HD on a 47 inch LCD...its almost like being there! ( better actually since the beer is a helluva lot cheaper!!)...This month you've got the NFL...the Bombers & Bisons are winning....baseball playoffs are here after a season that's about 100 games too long!!...the Moose are back on the ice ...the NHL returning to Winnipeg rumours are hotter than ever and the Leafs are losing....Whats not to like ? Bring on the lemon pepper wings from Smittys and here comes Jennifer Hedger on TSN !!! Ahhhh....you gotta love it fans !!This is the only " Reality TV " I like to watch....gotta go....it's kickoff time for the second half !!!
I Love celebrating birthdays...according to one of our listeners " apparently birthdays are good for you...the more you have, the older you get " !!I know there are some of you who like to lay low and let the day pass by ( my wife Sharron !) without any hoopla but the way I see it...it's still the best excuse for a party ! As a kid its all about the presents....as an adult its all about the presen...I mean... you're friends & family and getting together to share some good times and good will ! So if you like me...Chevy Chase...Matt Damon...Sigourney Weaver...and Paul Hogan are celebrating today...
Have the Best Birthday Ever and a Great Year ahead !!!
HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING DAY LONG WEEKEND....NOT SURE WHAT I ENJOYED MORE...THE TURKEY OR THE PIGSKIN ??....AFTER THAT GREAT BOMBER WIN IN HAMILTON I HOPE WE CAN GET A HUGE TURNOUT OF FANS AT THE B.C. GAME. THIS COMING SUNDAY...THE BLUE NEED AND DESERVE OUR SUPPORT !!....THE CROWDS AT THE LAST 2 HOME GAMES WERE EMBARASSINGLY SMALL ( BUT VERY VOCAL !! )..........
....I'M FINDING I'VE GOT WAY TOO MANY PROGRAMS PVR ‘D BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME TO WATCH THEM ALL !! I'M HOOKED ON THE NEW FLASH FORWARD....PLUS FRINGE....AND MY CSI'S ! THANK GOD LOST & 24 AREN'T ON YET AND THAT I'VE ABANDONED ANY SHOWS WITH JUDGES OR I'D REALLY BE IN TV TURMOIL !! OF COURSE IF I DIDN'T WATCH 10 HOURS OF FOOTBALL A DAY....
I MIGHT GET CAUGHT UP !!....PASS THE PIGSKIN PLEASE......

BEAU KNOWS…… WHATS WITH THE SO CALLED FOOTBALL FANS IN THIS CITY ??....ITS FRIDAY AND ONLY 20,000 TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR SUNDAY’S BOMBER GAME AGAINST B.C…..ITS A HUGE GAME AND THE WEATHER FORECAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL…SO WHAT GIVES? I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD “ THEIR FEELINGS HURT “ BY MIKE KELLY ! GET OVER IT MAN….THE TEAM IS PLAYING WELL AND DESERVE OUR SUPPORT…NOT GOING ONLY HURTS THE BOMBERS BOTTOM LINE AND THEN IT HURTS ALL OF US BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY OWNS THE TEAM ! AS MUCH AS I HATE THE RIDERS I HAVE TO SALUTE RIDER PRIDE AND THE INCREDIBLE FAN SUPPORT THEY GET EVERY GAME…MAYBE WE SHOULD ADD A LITTLE “GREEN” TO OUR UNIFORMS !! SEE YOU AT THE GAME SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 4PM GO BLUE !!! ….TALK ABOUT EMBARASSING….I GET UP FROM OUR TABLE AT THE WPG SOUTH BLUES SPORTS DINNER LAST NIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY FALL FLAT ON MY FACE ( TOO MUCH WINE ? )…NO NOT THIS TIME !
