Random Monday thoughts...Emmy's, TV Tonight & the Riders

I took my 4-year-old son Jake to the Riders game yesterday.  He LOVED it.  We were in Section 28 (shoutout!) and had a great time watching Gainer, the cheerleaders, the fireworks, oh yeah...and the game.  Jake loved the crowd reaction everytime the Riders moved the ball or scored...he was screaming "Go Riders"! and high-fiving all the people around him.  He was, however, a little disappointed that the Riders lost after leading the Eskinos most of the game.  I told him to get used to it...LOL.  The highlight of the game for Jake was seeing his Auntie Andrea on the big Jumbo-tron.  The Rider/Eskimo rematch goes Sat. at 4pm on TSN.  Go Riders!

After the game I watched the Emmy's...otherwise known as the "30 Rock" Awards.  I thought it was pretty enertaining and Neil (Doogie Howser) Patrick Harris was a great host.  A couple of cool Canadian moments...Sarah MacLachlan sang "I Will Remember You" in tribute to celebs who passed away this year and Michael J. Fox appeared as a presenter.  All-in-all, not bad as far as award shows go.  But, I still want my three and a half hours back.

I'm looking forward to TV tonight.  It's the return of my favourite show, House.  It's the 2-hour season premiere as House spends some quality time in an insane asylum (I know the feeling...look who I work with!  I'm kidding...or am I?).  Also tonight, US Prez Barrack Obama is on Letterman and it's the premiere of "Dancing With The No-Stars".  Happy viewing!
