Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

After checking out pics and video from the weekend's "Vindictive" Sea Cadet Reunion...I gotta say...thank goodness for Facebook!

If it weren't for this creation...I am not sure we would have reached the number of people we drew in for the 90th Celebration. The cadet site was created over a year ago, with a number of us connecting and sharing memories.

And, for those not able to make it to Thunder Bay for the celebrations, it gave them opportunity to view video and pics of our antics.

I was reluctant to join Facebook but am so happy I did.

File this under “too weird for us to make up”: a 56 year old, avid Star Trek fan in Hinckley, England has transformed his entire apartment into a replica of starship.

Lots of people started working the garden over the weekend – and the most common gardening injuries: rakers wrist; bulb planters back; shoveller’s shoulder; and gardeners knee.
