Greece Is The Word for the BEST BUDDIES BLUES BAND

Regina's Best Buddies Blues Band are really something else.  Created and nurtured by the highly decorated superstar teacher and innovator Chris Hamilton, the group, also known as BQUAD, have recorded a CD, and are available for bookings for a mere $500.  The members are all in the FIAEP program at Riffel and LeBoldus.   Regina Catholic Schools provides the program for adolescents with intellectual disabilities who require alternate education programs and services.  Their musical abilities leave nothing to be desired.

The Comings and Goings...

Here's wishing Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry a speedy recovery.  The band is getting set for some concert dates at home in Massachusetts, where he was rear-ended on his 2009 Ducati Monster 696.  Perry was treated and released so it must not be too serious.  The 62 year old woman behind the wheel of the car has been cited for following too closely.

Homemade Booze

   I have had many homemade beverages… in fact my good friend Mr. Stevenson has a wonderful batch of brownish ale that we have been enjoying over the past few weeks. Generally speaking though, when someone pulls out homemade booze, wine or otherwise, I cringe… It’s never better then what a professional can brew. The U-Brew operation that we now have here in Regina is doing it’s best to cleaning up some of the homemade wines and back yard bucket brewers make… but for the most part, I prefer not to have yeasty chunk surprises in the bottom of the bottles I tip… until now.

Iranian Woman Saved From Stoning-For Now

Its a sad fact that the world is full of evil.  

Much of it perpetrated by self righteous zealots like the ruling clerics of the Grand Council in Iran.
Currently there are twelve women and three men awaiting death by stoning there.  Most of them for the "crime" of adultery.  Often the women have actually been raped but that matters little to the depraved bigots in power there.  So they bury them in sand and hurl fist sized rocks at them, insuring a slow, tortuous death.

It’s Summer, Go Outside

 

Thank you for stopping to read this… but we only get summer for about 3 days a year in this province so go outside and enjoy it. Report back to me with your adventures!

Don’t Blame Famous People

    Don’t blame the famous for being outrageous… The same personality traits that thrust them to stardom (generally when mismanaged) also thrust them into trouble. Most of them have low self-esteem and could be diagnosed bipolar on the manic side of depressive. Just because they are very beautiful or very funny or very good at appearing on screen in different roles doesn’t mean that they are extraverted people that crave the constant spot light.

Oh, that's just nasty...

Wounds Heal But Stupid is Forever
