Regina and Grey Cup

I leave London, Ontario, this morning for Regina. When I arrive this afternoon, I have some meetings at the university and then have been drafted to play in a cribbage tournament this evening with June, my hostess and friend from the pep band.

After that, my life belongs to the Saskatchewan Roughrider Pep Band, playing my green trumpet with them until Sunday evening. Our performance schedule is so full, I'm not sure whether we'll even have time to stop at the liquor store!

Here is the schedule of our expected gigs as of two weeks ago. More have already been added to the schedule, and I'm sure there will be many more added this week now that the Roughriders have won the Western Final and will be playing in the Grey Cup game on Sunday. By the time I return to London, my lips will be in shreds, I'm sure.
