life in the big city

[Cue from commercial. Adopt Diana Swain/Lindsay Arnone voice.]

So you've made plans for the weekend. Tee times are booked, gardens need planting, Beat the Skeeters is on, beer is cold and the barbeque is going to be grilling like mad. Well, break all these plans and prepare to head for Kenora... it's Swingin' Seniors Celebration Day! Yes, seniors are coming from as far away as Gimli to partake in the dancing and live music, featuring bands such as The A-Flats, Other Mothers' Sons and the Sunset Country Handbells. Local orthopedics wards have been duly notified. For more details, please see the story in the Kenora Enterprise. Don't forget to read about Zeus, Kenora's own pot-bellied pig!

In other news... Joining the twenty-first century this weekend was my car, the last VW in the world to come with a tape deck. A cd/mp3 player was installed during a visit to Winnipeg. Final results are still pending, but preliminary data indicates the drive from Winnipeg to Kenora is much more tolerable when one can actually listen to music rather than trying to find a radio station out in the wilderness that is the Trans-Canada Highway.
