Songs for a Sunday: Lu Kala
Yesterday I talked about the three types of songs (Songs for a Sunday: Milk & Bone). Lu Kala fits into the #3 category (no, I’m not telling you what that is. You’ll have to time travel to Sunday).
Lusamba Vanessa Kalala, better known by her stage name Lu Kala, is a Congolese-Canadian singer.
Now, I’m not going out to buy all the Lu Kala merch and albums, but as I said yesterday (Yeah, I know I said I wasn’t going to say) the tunes are pretty catchy.

Songs for a Sunday: Milk & Bone
There are three kinds of songs (yes, only three).
Songs I will turn off* (Yeah I’m talking to you, Bruce Springsteen). Now, before I get backlash from fans of “The Boss”, let me explain. I don’t know why I dislike his offerings, I just do.Songs I will turn up. Songs like Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill are an automatic crank it to eleven.Songs that make me say, “Hey, that’s not bad.”Songs that fit into that third category have a certain quality. It may be a single melodic line, a catchy rhythm, an emotional effect, or an energy that just hits right.
Milk & Bone are a Canadian electropop duo based in Montreal, Quebec, consisting of Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin.
I think the distortion in the chorus of this one is purposeful as I couldn’t find a version without it.
I didn’t think I had heard the group before, but I came across this song that sounded slightly familiar, but I’m still not sure.
Is there a song you will always turn off?

Free Book Friday Feb. 21: Take that, eh?
It was all the game you could ask for…unless you are a US hockey fan.
I was going to chastise Chantal Kreviazuk for butchering the Canadian anthem, but she was obviously nervous singing in front of a booing crowd and then changing a line to ” that only us command” in protest to the ridiculous rhetoric being consistently regurgitated by the now self-proclaimed “king” of the United States*.
But, back to hockey…
Unlike the first meeting last Saturday which saw 3 fights, over 1/2 hour of penalties in the the first 9 seconds, at the 19:51 minute mark, we knew we were in for an historic game.
No fights, only two minutes of penalties, and the body checks were toned down. It was hockey, just hockey. Both goalies were fantastic, Jordan Binnington making some clutch saves, and Conner Hellebuyck doing everything he could until Conner McDavid was left alone out front to take the pass from Mitch Marner.
Being a Winnipeg Jets fan, It was difficult to root against the best goalie in the league, but it did and now its time to get back to the status quo.
*If nothing else makes you nervous, my American friends, this should…

The story behind Free Book Friday:I’ve met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging. I think writers have a responsibility to inform readers about all the indie authors out there in the very crowded world of book publishing. You can’t do it alone, and why would you when you have a supportive group available?
Readers don’t just read one author – they stick with their favorite genres. Therein lies the power in cross-promotion. If one of my readers buys a book from an author I promote, then chances are there will be a reciprocal effect, or so is the hope. Do I want to boost sales? Of course I do. Do I want to boost other’s sales? Why not. It’s called karma.
Some free book offers require a newsletter sign-up, which is a small non-monetary price to pay to try out a new indie author.

Weird Wednesday: Acceptable Traditions
“I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.”
-Rodney Dangerfield
I know what you are thinking. “Who in the heck is Rodney Dangerfield?”
Rodney Dangerfield (1921-2004) is an American comedian with over 15 film credits, his most famous being Caddyshack.
Let’s talk about hockey fights. If you are a hockey fan, you might like them. Fights often get louder cheers than goals, and can amp up the players and fans which can give a boost to the effort and energy on the ice … and, it can often lead to serious injury and lifelong health issues.
Hockey is the only team sport that allows fighting. Individual sports like boxing, mixed-martial arts, and alcohol fueled barroom brawls don’t exist without it, but that’s another story.
The first hockey fight took place after the first indoor hockey game was ever played – March 13, 1875, in Montreal – when fisticuffs broke out between players and spectators and others who wanted to use the arena for skating.
(I know I make a lot of stuff up, but this is true: fact check). The first documented in-game fight was February 8, 1890, and it’s been a part of hockey ever since.
The Philadelphia Flyers in the 70s were nicknamed the “Broad Street Bullies” and were notorious for their rough play and fighting. The movie, Slap Shot, starring Paul Newman, could have been based on this team, but exhaustive research (googling/Wikipedia) proved otherwise.
With the rise of superstar talent like Wayne Gretzky, the role of enforcer (hockey tough guy) became prominent as a deterrent to protect the players that actually play hockey.
There are rules to fighting:
players are required to drop their protective gloves dropping gloves is a signal that a player is preparing to fight, a referee can penalize a player solely for that action whether or not a punch is thrownplayers must be non-weaponized when they fight—they have to drop their sticks, can’t kick with their skates, or can’t have tape their hands like boxers to prepare for a boutExtra penalties and game ejections can be given to instigators who often fight to provide a boost for their team. Goon is the term given to these playersWhy this post? If you are a North American hockey fan, you saw the opening game between Canada and the USA (one of the most heated rivalries in sport) in the Four Nations Face-off tournament, where at the opening puck drop, a fight immediately ensured, followed by another fight at the next puck drop, followed by another 5 second later. So, yeah, 3 fights in 9 seconds.
I know what you’re thinking…either two things, “That’s really stupid,” or “I want to see that.”
It was, without a doubt, one of the craziest starts to a hockey game I have ever seen.
Even crazier, the second fight was between Sam Bennett and Brady Tkachuk who are teammates on the Florida Panthers. So yeah, Canada vs. USA is a heated rivalry and they will face off tomorrow in the final, but I suspect there will be more restraint.
No guarantees though…

Tuesday Top Ten: Temperatures that are just…well, stupid.
I woke up today to let out the dogs I am looking after for their morning pee. They completed the task in record time, not wanting to spend anymore time than necessary, even forgoing the “I better bark at everything and wake everyone up” tradition.
I then remembered it was garbage day, so I threw on a light jacket (mistake) and dragged the creaking and brittle-sounding garbage and recycling bins into the back lane. My first thought was, “Well, at least there is no wind…”
I live not to far away from the geographical center of North America, so any ocean moderation if temperatures are non-existent. Since we have been in a cold snap (which as of 2019 is now called the Polar Vortex), I was not surprised to learn that the temperature was -31 C. I think the coldest temperature I have ever experienced has be in the -36 C range, but once you get below -30, it’s really all just the same.
There is an upside. Really. it is supposed to warm up later this week, so the -10 C temperatures will feel absolutely balmy. Canadians call this “T-shirt weather.”
Top Ten Stupid Temperatures:
1. The coldest temperature recorded in Africa is -23.9°C (-11°F), which was measured in Ifrane, Morocco on February 11, 1935. The camels used by the nomads were overheard saying, “Snort, grunt, what the #$&%?“
2. Not surprising, the coldest temperature ever recorded in Europe is -52.6°C (-62.6°F), was measured in the Norrbotten region of Sweden. Ikea warns of the dangers of using their hex wrenches outside.
3. Mohe City, Heilongjiang province recorded the coldest temperature ever in China at -53.0°C (-63.4°F), on January 22, 2023. Terracotta warriors huddle for warmth.
4. Canada’s entry stands out not just as the coldest-ever temperature in the nation, but the coldest in North America, is the community of Snag, Yukon at -62.8 C (-81.4 F). This prompted the first utterance of the groaner: “Forget about the gold rush, this is a cold rush.“
5. The Siberian city of Yakutsk calls itself the coldest in the world (one of the least effective tourist slogans according to Guinness). It hit a low of -64.4°C (-84 F) in February 1891.
4. The hardy souls of the British North Greenland Expedition in the 1950s recorded a temperature of -66.1°C (-87 F). Overheard was the comment: “Who named this effin’ place Greenland.”
3. Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon reached record lows of -67.7°C (-89.9 F) (the former in 1892, the latter in 1933. Their tourist slogan is, “Suck on that, Yakutsk!”
2. The coldest temperature ever measured from the ground was -88 Celsius (-126 F) at Vostok Station in Antarctica. The new guy gets to go plug in the car.
1. The coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -93.2° C (-136° F) in Antarctica in 2010. This was recorded by satellites. When scientists sent the command to confirm the data, the satellite responded, “Yes, that is correct, but at least there is no wind.”

Music Monday: Louis Louis
The third Monday of many months are designated as holidays so that people can scramble to find daycare because there’s no school, but some parents still have to work. So, Happy Family Day to all in Canada—
Wait. It’s not Family Day in all provinces. It might be Heritage Day, Islander Day, or in Manitoba, Louis Riel Day.
Who is Louis Riel, you ask? Oh, you didn’t? Well, let’s assume you did.
Louis Riel was the Métis leader (Métis are people of European and Indigenous decent) who staged a rebellion against Canadian encroachment into the land they had settled out west.
Eventually, his unrecognized government was recognized and the province of Manitoba was brought into confederation. Eventually, after an armed land dispute with the Northwest Mounted Police, he was charged with treason and hanged.
Happy Louis Riel Day!
There have been many covers of that song, but this one always stands out for me.

National Flag of Canada Day — February 15
From Canada.ca: At the stroke of noon on February 15, 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. On the same day in 1996, National Flag of Canada Day was declared.
Canadians are proud, but ardent flag wavers we are not. How do I know? Besides being Canadian and not owning a Canadian flag, I woke up this morning and found out it was Flag Day.
Is Flag Day a big deal? Apparently not, but due to recent events, stores have been sold out of flags. But in a pinch you can still pick up the Red Ensign, Canada’s first flag:
The Union Jack is prominent, the British being the founders—I mean invaders of the land. The Coat of Arms shows three elongated lions, the representation of how thin Britain stretched themselves, a royal lion, because of the book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a harp, for no reason other than it sounds pretty, three fleurs-de-lis, because France was being a baby about not having input, and finally, three maple leaves that got stuck on the original design from Hubert’s sappy hands.
It stayed that way until 1964 when flag makers got fed up with the Epson printer running out of red and still having plenty of blues and yellows, although over the years, there had been many proposals put forward:
A contest to create the next National flag was launched and was open to Kindergarten students only, but eventually opened it up to anyone with no design or art background because the kids kept colouring outside the lines and writing their ‘a’s backwards.
Finally, the winning design was chosen, to the delight of the Canadian population, but to the ire of the flag makers who still had empty cartridges of red ink and way too much blue and yellow.
True story.

Weekend Wrap-up Feb. 15
Now that we got Valentine’s Day out of the way, it’s time to get down to serious stuff…watching $125 worth of flowers wilt and die.
Ha ha…no, seriously, fellas, you can go back to being a jerk for another 12 months…
But I kid. Wait? Do I? Is that one day good for relationships? It’s good for the economy, as $27 billion is spent in the US by frantic significant others trying to make amends for…well, everything.
Did you do the math? That works out to an average of $188/sucker—I mean romantic partner. Another way of looking at it is one guy (we’ll call him Jim) took his gal to 7/11 for a taquito and a Slurpee, while another guy (oddly, his name is also Jim) blew—I mean forked out—$200 for something a little less salty, greasy, and sweet.
But if you wanted to give the move expensive gift this year, you could have given—I’m going to say it even if it has been overused as of late—two dozen eggs.
If you are above a certain age, you may remember this little yearly ritual:
Valentines came once a year
We decorated paper bags
Taped to the front of the desk
The beggar’s open maw awaits
Sheets of perforated cards
With messages to our grade 3 crush
And to our friends of course
Wanderers up and down the aisles
Depositing in some and ignoring others
Left some elated, others deflated
Kids can be mean
Even on a day like that

Free Book Friday Feb. 14: Valentine’s Day Edition
I know what you’re thinking: Will this be a heart-felt post about love and relationships, an anti-love rant, or a regurgitation of something I have already written?
Well, on this day, I’ll just say…”Bleeeuuurrrggghh!”
The Origin of Valentine’s Day
One day in ancient Rome—which at the time was an Italic settlement (named for the inhabitants who always had a forward lean from plowing the fields) a humble actor, Rudolfus Valentino, still in his costume from his role of Friar Tuck in “Robin Hood, The Musical”, came across two lovers kissing on a park bench—known then as ‘a rock’ since park benches hadn’t been invented yet (DaVinci actually drew several sketches but were accidently burned when he left the hot plate on after making ramen. True story.)
After grabbing a stick and hitting them with it while yelling, “Get a room!” he accidentally stabbed one of the lovers hard enough to draw blood.
“What the hell did you do that for, you old geezer,” the man (we’ll call him Walter) said.
Shocked at the unplanned result, Rudolfus used his rosery as a bowstring to send the incriminating evidence into the river Tiber and fled.
The female (we’ll call her Mabel) was so impressed with Walter’s chivalry that she immediately fell in love. At the wedding reception, one of the groomsmen man incorrectly retold the story—due to being slightly inebriated—saying something along the lines of a monk turning into a flying baby archer.
Mabel, quite embarrassed, turned to Walter and said, “I told you we shouldn’t have invited him.”
True story.
