		<title>Superbowl Ad for Canadian Hearts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps you missed this one.   Although I&#8217;m not hockey&#8217;s biggest fan, it brings a tear to my eye to see what happens when a bunch of guys playing pick-up hockey get the star treatment.  My pal and former Rogers Radio colleague Don Landry plays to type as the broadcast announcer preparing for the secret [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bold and Beautiful &#8211; House Proud, Toronto Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems every manufacturer of stuff for the home tosses around the term &#8220;home fashions&#8221;.  It&#8217;s used to describe everything from ready-made curtains to slip-covers to mass-produced accessories. A lot of those items may be practical and some are even pretty but they&#8217;re not all necessarily fashionable.  BoConcept, however, is a truly stylish, global brand. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Papers Not People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[London is making continent-wide news this weekend but for all the wrong reasons.   The same day our unemployment rate dropped by more than half a percentage point, more than 400 people were officially put out of work as Caterpillar announced it would close the Electro-Motive locomotive plant.  Unionized workers have been locked out since [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rhetorical Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why don&#8217;t American political candidates get the rights to the songs they use at their campaign events before they use them? Is getting a cease-and-desist order from Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen some sort of badge of honour?  It&#8217;s a simple process to ask permission.  Maybe they know they would always be refused.

		<title>One for the Riders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You probably have to know how to ride a motorcycle to fully appreciate this.   JP McArdle is one of the world&#8217;s top motorcycle riding experts.   He is a 7 time International Overall Police Motorcycle Riding Champion and he performed his tight-space manoeuvres at our Hamilton show.  One of our custom bike entrants a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Demeaning to Women?  Or Rock and Roll?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Women are complaining about the urinals in a German memorabilia museum because they are shaped like a woman&#8217;s mouth.   However, the complaints are more detailed than that.   The women say the problem is that the red-lipped, open mouth in which men are expected to pee doesn&#8217;t include a tongue, like the original Rolling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Syntax Crimes and Other Offences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always amused by poor writing, especially in broadcasting.  There&#8217;s inexperience, which can be forgiven of course. And then there&#8217;s just plain sloppiness.  I get a giggle out of noticing them and always regret not keeping the ones I find.  I foolishly think I will remember them. This unfortunate sentence greeted me on the national [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike Show Blur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Hamilton World of Motorcycles Expo is in the books.  It goes by so fast.  Now bring on the London show in 2 mere weeks! Before I became involved with the World of Motorcycles Expo several years ago, I never would have ever imagined what goes on behind the scenes of a trade show.  Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Off The Grid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be spending the weekend at the Hamilton World of Motorcycles Expo so things will stay static here for a couple of days.  And today I&#8217;m cheating a little by posting a blog I have up on the 981 Free FM website.  The company that&#8217;s trying to get many of its workers to take a [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Only Honesty Ruled Our Lives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wouldn&#8217;t it be terrific if everyone just told it like it was?  No euphemisms, no buttering people up, just the cold, hard truth.   We&#8217;d all need to develop thicker skin but I think the world would be a better place.   George Takei (yes, Sulu from Star Trek) posted this photo on his Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Hamilton World of Motorcycles Expo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, the manager of the Careport Centre in Hamilton called Derek and said, hey, you have a good reputation for your motorcycle show in London.  Hamilton&#8217;s asking for one.  What do you think?  So here we are, many months and 90,000 previously empty square feet later, about to launch a brand new show [...]]]></description>
