I love Halloween. Last year Tess was almost three and she dressed up like a dinosaur. Or a lizard. Something. During supper we reviewed the facts. She gets to dress up in her dinosaur costume and then go with John from house to house and knock on...
A couple of weeks ago I was having a beer with Jen. Jen is a friend of mine. We met almost 20 years ago when we were starting a brand new television station in Calgary called A-Channel. At that point she was a camera person...
Sometimes it’s easy to come up with a gift for Father’s Day. And sometimes it’s a bit more work. Every show we give away a Dave Kelly Live Award. The Award was alway supposed to be a fun/ funny moment where we recognized an unsung hero who...

So it’s Juno week here in Calgary, which means the city will be humming with lots of music and lots of music stars. And lots of talk about songs that stuck. Burton Cummings is going to be honoured this weekend, which makes me think of...
Here was one of the many great moments in DKL 5. Jann Arden doing a duet with me, accompanied by Russ Broom. And the reason the great moment happened is because Jann Arden said yes, Russ Broom said yes, but mostly this moment happened because Russ...
