It’s a great day to be alive, boys and girls!!

Of course, even if you weren’t (alive), this is probably still pretty big news.

Mr. James Blunt has just assumed the Number One position atop the Canadian album charts this week, according to published reports. He knocked Kanye West out of the top spot, rocketing to # 1 about as fast as Garth Brook’s comeback single on the country side.

So, can there be any further debate? The man is a recording monolith, and as I said the other day, there’s loads of potential hit singles on his new disc, so expect him to stick around for another couple of bazillion airplays, kiddies.

Boy, if Mr. Blunt ever put out a live album, he could surpass “Frampton Comes Alive”, “Cheap Trick Live At Budokan”, “Raffi At The Quelph Day Care Centre”!! He’s huge!!

But, I admit I may be a bit biased here.

Mrs. That Dan Guy and I are both grappling with pre-holiday colds. Nothing builds enthusiasm for a getaway like phlegm lodging in about ¾ of your throat.

However, once again I find I must recommend Cold-FX, the wonder drug for fighting colds, originated here in Canada. MTDG’s symptoms have lessened since she began her regimen, and my own seem to be held at bay with the product.

Chow for now!!
