Five Hits on Thanksgiving Day

Hockey The Flames got spanked in their first game of the season against the Oilers (who almost made me want to cheer with them with what a dynamic young team they’ve assembled.  But then I remembered that only could happen after they’ve sucked for much of the last decade so the feeling passed.)  Topping the […]

Music Monday – “Down our long dusty driveway/I set my mind to go/I was eighteen and wild and free and wondering
