We went on our monthly date on Saturday Night. We went to the Tragically Hip concert at Kingston's new KRock Centre. It was the first event held there. The place isn't quite finished - there were a lot of closed doors hiding what wasn't completed. BUT the concert was fantastic - Gord Downey was up to his usual oddly entertaining self while his band provided the solid backdrop. Dan Aykroyd introduced them and played harmonica during one of their encores.
It was all "Kingston" in its home-town feel and energy. It was a pleasure to be there.
With helmet clapped on and snow flyin' behind him, Rein "the bomber" Olvet takes the corner efortlessly. His GT Racer glides to a easy stop at the bottom of the hill. He swings his leg up and off the racer and stands triumphantly beside it. "It's all clear!" he yells up to the next hill rider (his Dad). He has conquered the Campbell hill once again.
