The Wait(s) Over



I've always had a fondness for this song. Didn't realize until tonight that the Eagles had done a cover version (and apparently so has Sarah McLachlan.) However, my favourite version of this was played in front of a beach fire at a cottage on Okanagan Lake one summer by an old buddy of mine, Pete Faris, on a vintage Martin guitar after my first year of grad school. Talk about old days!

Cheers to the New Year.

The Cat's Meow



Somewhat ironically, the woman behind the yule time classic, "Santa Baby", died of colon cancer earlier today, Christmas 2008.

Here's one of Harry.

That's better!

Well with their recent signing can any sane individual remain off the Canuck's bandwagon?

Driving Miss Daisy

Take the test. I did.

I'm thinking Mr. Brown might score a little better than DRo.

How dangerous of a driver are you?
