tvordljCBC in it's ever infinite wisdom is seriously considering dropping the theme tune to Hockey Night in Canada. This was written in the late 60s which surprised me because it's so ingrained into our consciousnesses here in Canada. You just don't think of hockey here without that tune running through your head. Apparently the contract with the company that owns the rights to it ended and CBC is saying they can't come to an agreement though the company is saying CBC isn't really pushing that hard either. I think public outcry is going to make the decision for CBC. I don't watch hockey anymore so it won't make any impact on my life whether it's there or whether they use Happy Birthday for the theme tune. Whatever. But I just can't imagine it without that tune and a lot of people are very passionate about it. You can sing that tune anywhere in the world and if there's a Canadian in the room, they'll know it. Getting rid is like changing the Coronation Street theme tune of nearly 48 years. Unthinkable really.
Mom's neighbourhood is having a yard sale tomorrow and she's got some stuff she's putting out. I brought a stack of cds and some dvds i didn't want but i offered them to the guys at work this morning first. That got rid of half of them right there. Someone might as well enjoy them. I wouldn't be asking for much for them at the yard sale so i don't mind giving them away here. I am also going to see if a few of my paintings will sell. Hard to know what to ask. I might just duck out of it altogether and see what someone would offer first and dicker from there. What do you think?
Friday five...
1. What's your weather?
Looks semi-sunny, it was cool this morning and it is probably going to rain later on.
2. Where are you on your way to?
After work, to mom's for the night. Neighbourhood yard sale tomorrow and it will be my nephew J's birthday tomorrow as well.
3. Are you good with directions?
Usually yes.
4. Do you know your neighbors?
I have a passing acquaintance with a few, exchanging friendly words and such. One or two over the years i've actually been friendly with. Living in an apartment building, you don't tend to see them other than in the elevator or waiting for busses and such. In a house, you're out in your yard, or out shoveling snow etc. You have more interaction.
5. What do you smell?
Couple of coconut cookies that I'm having with a mid morning cuppa.
