Side Notes: Work in Progress

(1) The blog break is still in full swing, much to my chagrin. Three consecutive weekends out of town (including this coming Friday) and the rhythm really starts to fall apart. The mid-summer doldrums have finally arrived, and I apologize profusely. On the plus side, I'm hoping that all of this downtime will produce some solid posting in the coming weeks. There's been some loose talk of a print version in the fall. Any thoughts?

(2) The Ti-Cats are heading to Montreal this week to battle the Alouettes, kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening. The team needs to make some serious moves over the next few weeks if they want a shot at an Eastern playoff berth, especially with a 1-4 record out of the gate.

(3) On a lighter note, I found some old concert tickets the other day, including a Sloan/Flashing Lights gig from 2000. "Where the Change Is" is a classic, check out the tambourine work from Hamilton native Gavin Dianda. Just search "New Music Canada, Artists, Flashing Lights" on cbcradio3.ca, and enjoy.
