A secular holiday for the rest of us, Happy Festivus everyone!
A famous bit of Beatles trivia is that Paul McCartney woke up one day with the fully formed melody for “Yesterday” running through his head. He didn’t have words so to help remember it, he started singing “Scrambled eggs/Oh my baby, how I love your legs.” After singing the melody for everyone he could find, […]
I’m nervous for the Western Final today as the Riders (who squeaked past BC last week) face off against their arch-rivals, the Calgary Stampeders.
