Went to another school for two courses the next year and got 98% in math 31 and 93% in English 30. 100% to avoid that speech. Never told my parents. Made up some horse crap reasons.

Now I do it all the time and kinda like it.

You should have/could have taken Paul Giamatti’s place in the movie “Duets”.

Anyone else enjoy synthwave? I was quite elated when Kavinsky performed at the closing ceremonies in Paris. That was quite unexpected especially for a medley ensemble.

I don't love synth wave, but I own a few synthesizers and they are endless fun.

Took a day off, went to the lake with a couple of the kids and the dog. Dropped the boat in the water, did some wakeboarding. What a great day.

The mistake is trying to sound like John Fogerty and mimic his style

The Okotoks Dawgs won the first game of the best of 3 WCBL final 7-4 against the Moose Jaw Miller Express. Now it's off to MJ for game 2 tomorrow night and the chance to be 3 Peat Champions of the WCBL.

What's the significance of "dawgs" versus "dogs". Makes them sound so off-brand.

A dog is a member of the species Canis lupus familiaris.

A Dawg is a close friend or someone trusted and respected within a social circle.

Cool 90s spellings were all the rage in the 90s... or the early 2000s in Okotoks.
