It is a bit funny, considering how many shows we see, that we had to miss out on the biggest musical event this year in Canada. The Junos, a Canadian version of The Grammies (on a lower scale, but we ALSO participate in the actual Grammies), were filmed live - right here in Calgary this year. And a former Calgarian (Feist) cleaned up, winning I think just about everything she was nominated for.

We had to pass, considering we were flying back in from Ohio (via Chicago) on the big day of the event, and didn’t want to encourage our typical luck when travelling, which is to have at least one flight get delayed or cancelled, and miss the show completely. We did record it, so nobody spill the beans, please!!

The Junos can be one of the best awards shows on TV, next to Broadway’s Tony Awards. I know – what a stretch, eh??

Oh Oh!!

I just said “eh”!!

The universal Canadian detector, which came up frequently last week, whenever fellow attendees noticed Mrs. That Dan Guy and I were from Canada.

“So, how was your flight, eh?”

“So, even Canadians have male pattern balding, eh?”

“Do you have a pet beaver, eh?”

If only we would have been with a couple from North Dakota, to divert some attention away from ourselves…

Where was I??

Oh yeah! The Junos – best show on TV, yada yada yada…

Well, for MY money, the Junos can often be the best dang thing on TV when they roll around, and this year, we could have been in the audience! Life can be so cruel!!

Oh well, we’ve got tickets to hear Dr. Jane Goodall talk about monkeys later this week, so hopefully that will solve the sting of our Juno wounds. And for the record, I don’t think the Junos have anything to do with “Juno”, the recent hit movie written by a Canadian, and starring a young Canadian. But spooky in the similarity department, eh???

Aw, crap….there I go again….

Wattaya gonna do???

Chow for now!!
