What Matters Now by Seth Godin

Monday, November 30

no good ever comes from having an extra man in your endzone....if you know what i mean....

god love 'em. i know we all do. something about being part of the Rider Nation that fills you with pride - and the obligatory hope. We're resilient. I'm so amazed at how one play would have us remember forever the fellow who made a very bad kick and miss. and then seconds later we're remembering someone forever for an extra man on the field. Such high drama! If you had written that ending in a movie or a play it would have been rejected as trite or ridiculous or exaggerated. UnBELIEVABLE. see you next year...

what's important is that we're all together for the holidays....

And that'll take some good old fashioned Skype'n and FACEBOOK chattin' and email'n because life is flat out this time of year for comedians.

Great folks out there in need of some laughs for Christmas cheer - I'm headed to the Festival of Trees in North Battleford - supporting the Battleford Union Hospital Foundation with a good old-fashioned Ladies Night. Lori Gibbs - HAVE FUN - yes, that Lori Gibbs - will be hosting the evening and it's our inaugural road trip.

Grey Cup week will also have me cheering (!) and behind the scenes at the Gala and Concert with friends Aimee Barnabe (Smile Productions), Cherie McMaster (Director of Animation, Grey Cup Festival) and Harry Doupe (CFL Awards/Gala writer). Couldn't be more thrilled - well, except if Saskatchewan gets in - then I'd be MORE thrilled.

We're having a post-mortem for the Bob Edwards Award Luncheon this week - what a year it was with Lise Bissonnette, Catherine Ford, Hugh Dempsey, Peter C. Newman and Jane Urquhart celebrating their past wins with videos from Guy Vanderghaeghe and Rick Mercer. Were you there? Did you like the moderated format panel? Wasn't it curious that there were no politicians at the luncheon for the first time EVER? And welcome DJ Kelly to the writing team. Trish and Potts and the team from ATP - always a pleasure!

The citizens/denizens of the WhimsyState are thrilled to have a night to call their own at OYR's High Performance Rodeo. SACRED COWS runs January 8, 2010. ONE NIGHT ONLY! oh, and mine is the saucy piece. :0)

Are we friends on facebook? so we follow each other on twitter? love to stay connected - drop me a note - leave a message - I promise to write more.

hope you get a chance to listen to the CBC Calgary Eyeopener - especially Wednesdays at 7:40 because the Unconventional Panel (me, George Brookman and Tom Phillips) have a blast - and now they're even adding our bios and our photos to the website - yes sir! we are home!

I've been having a lot of listening fun - podcasts from CBC shows like Q (Mark Breslin's interview) and What's So Funny (out of Vancouver) and Daybreak Alberta (listen to my podcast with Russell Bowers on my website). I've also updated my website - so feedback would be AWESOME!

that's it for tonight - hope you're all well and happy
