In the summer of 2012, I had a zipper in my step. I had just been hired for the morning show on Q107 Calgary. I ran regularly five kilometers and I had only three gray hair
I felt so good, in fact, I was ready to try to win a prize to my son at the stand where the Stampede worker guess your age or your weight. If she does not have enough years or pounds, the participant (victim?) Wins a prize.

I tore the paper out of the woman's hand
