Let’s see…what has happened since we last spoke… Oh ya, there was a hell of a football game at Mosaic stadium Saturday August 18th. It will go down in Rider lore as one of those “Where were you on the night of the storm in 2007?” I will be proud to say I was on the Taylor Field sidelines through it all. I have said it on the air but I will say it here too: I LOVED IT. It was a honour for me to be able to be a part of the team that kept the Rider fans informed and I appreciate all of the kind words for both me and the amazing group of guys I work with at CKRM. Thank you to Willy Cole for being on holidays so I could be a part of it. Man, you guys were insane when the team came back out! I have always been proud of the Rider nation, but I was a little extra proud of you guys that night. As for the game, lots has been said and lots will be said, was it a defining moment for this team this year? We will see. Lets keep rolling and kick a litte Bomber ass this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, how much do I/we love the LDC? The weekend is always such a great time what with yelling at Bomber fans staying at the Travelodge South, to all the “you suck” drum routines from Spanky in section 25, to the entire atmosphere at Mosaic stadium. I just love it - bring it on!
Let’s see what else happened while I was off. Oh, wait, I remember C-MURDER is back where he belongs… How cool is it to have CH back? For faithful readers and listeners of mine you will know I have never hid my shear admiration for Corey both as a football player and as a man. Much has been written and said about CH over the last while and there will be more in the future. Good to have you home Murder!! I don’t know if it was on the air or not so hopefully I am not speaking out of school, but at some point Corey said to me he wants to finish off his football career here in Sask (I know, not exactly a news flash), and I for one am very glad he will now be able to do that. I could ramble some more but I promised the editor I would keep it kind of short tonight. Does the above count as short?
A few videos and photos from the JJERKS (Joe, Jo, Em, Ryley, Kris) family vacation 2007.
A few videos from our family vacation 2007! We traveled up to McPhee Lake and Prince Albert National Park once again. Aside from the weather, which you will note was horrid; the rest of the trip was amazing. Hard to believe you are in Saskatchewan when you are hiking through forests along side roaring rivers and babbling brooks or along the shoreline of the mighty Waskesui Lake.
And here is the entire collection.
And a few pictures

And here are 2 slideshows of all the pictures. I sat through all of it (ran both at the same time for awhile) and it look about 40 mins. Get a comfy chair and some strong coffee. Yes, we took way too many pictures with the new camera!

Today’s Lyrics
“Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)”
Perry Nyhus rocks!!

Great vacation pics...at least the bear didn't mistake you all as snack'ems... :-))
The JJERKS (Joe, Jo, Em, Ryley, Kris) mystery is now solved. I've been trying to figure that one out since yesterday.
I always thought of you guys as very nice folks and couldn't understand why you referred to yourselves as JERKS... :-))
Great Sportsline tonight...I like the idea of yelling at the Bomber fans staying at the Vag.
I also now know where the sugar is kept in our house... :-)
