Best albums and an HH link

Hi nice EZ Rock people!
It's been a busy few weeks but I wanted to catch you up on a few things.
The last couple of months have been quite hectic for me and I've been fortunate enough to go to a lot of live entertainment. Read about the whole dang shooting match right here. BTW that's the first time in my life I've ever written the words "shooting and match" in any sentence I've ever written. And quite possibly the last.
Also I came across an interesting list. This comes from AOL.com and is called The Album Bucket List.

Busy Weekend in Toronto resulting in Road Closures

Nuit Blanche, CIBC Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's 1k and 5K walk... to name a few.  Read on for road closure info.

Church sign throwdown !

It's Friday !  Have a great weekend. Check this out. Two churches across the street from each other. It's a church sign throw-down of Biblical proportions.

The Weekend!

As the parent of a young child, I have to say, there are just too many good-looking movies being released this weekend.  Not fair, Movie People!  Maybe one or two, but c'mon!  Everywhere I look I see 3, 4 stars  Blindness. Rachel Getting Married. Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist.  And meanwhile, the review of the one that we'll get to see began like this in the Post today:
" I recently spent an excruciating 90 minutes loathing a talking-dog movie called Beverly Hills Chihuahua."
Great.   Well, it better make Kayla laugh, because then at least I'll be able to hear my favourite sound in the world.  Unless of course...I can convince her she'd like to see the story of the guy who invented the intermittent windshield wiper!  Hmmm...I wonder what are the chances....

Thursday-Friday

Went grocery shopping Tuesday, and there they were, right there in the produce section, in one of those bins, all clean like they'd just been given a bath.  Pumpkins.  PUMPKINS!  And they were only $2.99!  And they were BIG ONES too!  Now, I didn't exactly have pumpkins on my list, because, I dunno, Halloween is A MONTH AWAY, but gee...$2.99!  And they were nice!  And did I mention BIG?!  No tiny little, stem-missing, odd-shaped misfits, these gourds, no sir.  And so there I stood.  Should I buy one?  No.  Halloween's a month away.  Yeah, but they're only $2.99!  No.  It will sit out in the backyard and rot.  You can put it in the garage.  Worse.  I'll end up kicking it.  It'll just get in the way.  But in three weeks maybe all the pumpkins will be picked-over ugly.  And 4 times the price!  You know how the World Pumpkin Markets work!  Oh please.  Surely there will be some nice, good-sized, stem-intact, $2.99 pumpkins a week before Halloween.

Wednesday-Thursday

Further to my probably horribly misinformed attempt at trying to figure out this Global Economic Meltdown, let me just say...I have good news.  That's right.  America, I have good news.   Expect an influx of cash very soon.  A significant influx of new money.  That's right.  You guessed it:  my wife received the new Land's End catalogue in the mail Monday.  Help is on the way. 

Tuesday-Wednesday

So let me see if I have this right: 

Down in the States, banks issued a ton of mortgages to people who couldn't afford them, and pretty soon they stopped paying, and their houses foreclosed, which normally wouldn't be that big a deal because then the bank would own the house, but the housing market tanked, and thus the houses weren't worth much anymore, and meantime a lot of these mortgages had been packaged up and sold to investors, I guess they didn't read the prospectus or whatever that's called, and some of these investors were actually big investment companies, and what they therefore ended up buying was bupkis, and a lot of it, and they started to go broke, and then a lot of the banks took a look in the vault and found out that they were almost out of actual money, not a good thing I guess if you're a bank, and now we're at the point whereby if the dominoes keep falling unabated, within the next 2 weeks or so when you go to an ATM in the States, nothing will come out.

laughter for a good cause

This year marks the 6th anniversary of Laugh Lines sponsored by Scotiabank Group, hosted by our good friend and comedienne Judy Croon.

Laugh Lines is proud to present not one but two,  hilarious evenings of comedy during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Oct 1st -VIP night and Oct 15th - general admission night. Both evenings feature a terrific lineup of female stand-up comics and special guests at Yuk Yuk's Komedy Kabaret downtown. Put the fun in fundraising....100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales will support the Rapid Diagnosis Breast Clinic at Princess Margaret Hospital. To date, Laughlines has raised over 400,000 dollars for breast cancer research.
