Oh Summer!!!! see ya

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

So the calendar tells us that summer is over on September 22nd. I think that summer is over on September 2nd.

 

For a few reasons

 

1-The MOB are back on the ice

2-School is back in, and kids should not be in school in the summer

3-The Wishbook is out

4-Stores are starting with Halloween stuff and Christmas stuff

5-It’s getting cold

 

So on that note, what a summer we had in the Fort. Great weather, Great festivals and Great concerts, Great fun!!!

 

As the kids head back to the classroom. I would like to stress our appreciation for both of our school systems in this city. Megan and I will strive to keep you the parent, the listener and our friend in the know. If it’s a fun day, fundraising day or any event drop us an email and we will try our best to get the word out.

 

On another note Tuesday we start the show at 5am instead of our 5:30 start. So if I am late SO SORRY!!!!

 

The phones line will be open, we can’t wait to chat. Anything on your mind let us know!!

“The Dudes”

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

So my son had a birthday over the weekend and one of his gifts was the video game “Rock Band” for his Wii. The game has a mic, guitar and drums. The object is to play the notes that are on the screen.

Yesterday Liam said to me “Come on dad. Lets start a band! We can call our band “The Dudes” I will be the drummer and you play guitar.”  I think, wow!  Cool! This is great!  My son wants to be in a band with me. I am the cool dad!!!!

Then we start to play….Well I cant play this game to save my life!  Liam on the other hand, was great! Ummm he is 7 and I am 30.

I laid in bed last night remembering the good old days. Remember the first Game boy with Tetris?

Ya!  Tetris a game we all can enjoy!  Three buttons up/down/side to side. Don’t you miss those days when we could all play video games?

No secret codes, no internet connections, Just 3 buttons!!!

So if you are a parent of kids with video games, smile and think of Tetris!

WOW what a great game!!!

What was your favorite video game as a kid? kenny.jones@rci.rogers.com

Catch ya tomorrow at 5:30!

  • Avoid him if he is up on this toes and his legs are bouncing, he’s agitated and on guard.
  • Approach him if his ankles are crossed it means he’s not all that interested in what he’s doing.
  • Avoid him if he leans toward things on which he’s very focused.
  • Approach him if he’s preoccupied with snacks, he’s not afraid of missing something.
  • Avoid him if he’s touching one part of his body to another it’s a hidden sign of stress.

The Love Of A PUDDLE

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

One more time the listeners of the country 933 morning shows were so funny!! Only in
Fort McMurray can a 4 hour radio show be all about a PUDDLE!!!

Morrison/63 had a huge puddle this morning and the calls came in big time. Thank you for all the laughs. We did however learn something.

Hydro-locking, apparently that when your motor oil mixes with water and your engine blows up.

We also got the run down on the pass time of “puddle jumps” from Lethbridge to Nova Scotia. We learned that driving fast through a big puddle is a good time.

One more bit of education from this morning. The ear guards that water polo players wear is called a bonnet.

On that note…I am off to go swimming in the puddle.  Have a great day catch you tomorrow at 5:30

LAZY OLYMPICS DAY 1

We can start today’s BLOG with an update!

And the update is good news….. The Sidney Crosby Jersey was sent back to the “Kids Forever” to the person who did that “Thank You”

Now the next thing is have you been watching the Olympics?. Wow is it so cool to watch.

Megan and I got to thinking…..Don’t you wish there were Olympics that anyone could be in, For example “The Lazy Olympics” for the duration of the real Olympics, Country 933 will showcase “The Lazy Olympics”.

Click the link above and have a listen.

If there is a game you would love to compete in let us know.
