Montreal Alouettes 40....Calgary Stampeders 27 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/als-...article1203774/ The Als took a 20-0 lead, but the Stamps fought back to tie it at 27 in the third. The Als scored 6 on 2 FGs in the fourth. With less than three minutes to go, the Stamps moved the ball downfield, but Henry Burris fumbled in the backfield, and Chip Cox returned it 81 yards for a TD to seal the victory. During the game, play by play announcer Mark Stephen asked for emails, so I sent him greetings from North Carolina, which he read on the air!

And the season is underway! Toronto Argonauts 30....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 17 http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Gam...9996621-cp.html If the Ticats can't beat the Argos, who can they beat? The Bombers? Hamilton had a decent second quarter, but basically they were never in it. Argos rookie Matt Lambros scored a TD on his first CFL reception.

Montreal Alouettes http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/alou...article1202990/ I tell you what! I think reading all of these previews I've linked gives you a better knowledge of the CFL than the NFL fan has of the NFL when he plunks down his ten bucks for his Street & Smith and Athlon Annuals!

Happy Birthday 2009 Robert! Gee, a Canadian guy whose birthday is Dominion Day (aka Canada Day)!

Now here is a report that he did have a will, and that he left his father out of it! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529502,00.html

Here's a Hamilton Spectator article that lists each team in the league, how each did against the Ticats last year, when each is scheduled to play the Ticats this year, and finally the league's 2009 schedule as a whole. http://www.thespec.com/Sports/article/591245

I heard on the radio today that nobody is sure if he had a will. Can you imagine someone that wealthy whose financial advisors did not insist that he have a will?

marcello, I listened to this in November a couple of times and it didn't move me, so I put it away and forgot about it. Seeing your post, I decided to revisit the album over the weekend, and I found that this is another album whose first track I don't like, and that colored my view of the entire album. Yesterday I tried it skipping the first track, and I loved it! So here's a big thumbs up.

Wasn't Terry Moore one of Howard Hughes's girlfriends?

RDK, I too thought of Billy May. I am familiar with the old Oxyclean commercials, but had no idea what the fellow's name was.

Happy Birthday Stefan!

I put this aside for a long while. I've listened to a few times over the past few days, and I'm liking it more now than ever. There is one song I don't like, so maybe I'll burn a copy without it. I think this was available from Your Music. Those of you who subscribe ought to pick it up!

The Als cut Reggie Hunt and former Heisman runner-up Brad Banks. Hunt is likely to land somewhere. They also "disabled" Mike Imho, which surprises me. By retaining rights to him, they may get something for him in a trade. Word has it that JuJuan Armour is likely to end up in Montreal. http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Bank...3121/story.html ***** Here is the Canadian Press's league preview: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/cfl-...article1199801/

Happy Birthday 2009 PHILLYQ!

It's my recollection that he admitted to sleeping with young boys. He just denied molesting them when he was in bed with them. That's enough to make me disregard whatever talent he had, and whatever music he created.

Also Quincy Jones, I heard Mark Ruffin say on Sirius today.
