Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Golfing was a blast last night! Penny Kitching and her crew were a lot of fun! We had to wait for the storm to pass through....it looked bad with all the thunder and lightning...then the skies cleared and the sun was shining...just for us to play golf.

We made it to the ninth hole just before it got dark...I think we did a good job caddying for them..they may have another story. We may just be getting a call from Penny and her husband Dave...

Thanks to “Harry Potter” books and movies, college ‘Quidditch’ (the broomstick-riding sport) is on the rise. With over 200 colleges expressing interest, ‘Quidditch’ is spreading like wildfire. Similar to soccer, players try to get the ball (‘Quaffle’) into the opposing goal, except they try and do so while riding around on a broomstick just like in the movies ... only on the ground. The game even has its own website, where you can access recent news and a history of the sport.
