A Day of Education and Sheer Inspiration!

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:27:05 +0100

It was a highly
charged gathering of an eclectic group of people, each diverse in careers and
personalities, that gathered at the Wascana Golf and Country Club in Regina just
10 days removed from Christmas. Arriving in the dark before the sun had risen,
they were greeted by a glittering array of Christmas lights and decorations out
in front of the clubhouse. And, as the sun rose, they were presented with an
arresting view of the prairies background by theRead More...

It's Starting to Look a lot Like Christmas!

The signs are everywhere. The lights have been turned on at
City Hall and the legislative building. The front windows of homes throughout
the city are filled with the festive mood that decorated Christmas trees lend
to the season. Carlyle has held its acclaimed Christmas festival. The Rotary
Christmas Carol Festival filled Knox-Met Church in Regina with the sounds of
Christmas.

Christmas is a time to make memories and a time to bring

EXIT Makes it Worth it!

NASHVILLE –
The Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee present a tapestry of arresting colours
in the autumn, visible forever it seems, as the mountains roll one after the
other into another snapshot of a changing season. There is a drive you can take
through them that seems to last forever, and then not long enough, the
spectacular showcase of Mother Nature on the podium at every turn.

They are but
a few hours’ drive from Nashville, Music City,Read More...

Turn on the Lights; The Party's Starting!

A week ago
on Sunday, my wife and I were sitting in this huge outdoor stadium in
Nashville, Tennessee waiting for an NFL game between the Tennessee Titans and
the Houston whatever they are called to begin. It was a beautiful, warm day,
and you could have worn shorts. There were thousands there, maybe 80,000, I
don’t know, and on every seat was attached a pink placard and everybody was
handed a pink ribbon as they came into the stadium. This was their BreaRead More...

Could It Be Miller Whine Time?

So, the
kindly old coach sat there, in front of the baying dawgs of the media, and the
creases in his grandfatherly face seemed squeezing tighter as each word slid
off the big mouths of the media wretches, who now could smell blood.

And, he was
in an ugly mood. And, he was not at all happy having to be there, answering to
all these no nuthin’s, whose role in life is something he has always known: To
build somebody up andRead More...

It Was the Best of Times and It Was the Worst of Times!

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:39:01 +0100

The depth;
that was the thing. The deeply-rooted depth that created a luxury of
challenges, all of them, all, when thrown into the mix, produced a Grey Cup
championship and back-to-back Grey Cup appearances.

There was
the young gunslinger given the endorsement of the kindly old coach to be the
starting quarterback on an offense that had what was likely the best corps of
pass receivers in the Canadian Football League. They were like lightningRead More...

The Nightmare on 10th Avenue!

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:16:04 +0100

Why is it that people in Regina stop at intersections which
have no Stop signs, and don’t stop where there is a Stop sign?

Because they do.

And, why is it that the Saskatchewan Roughriders can’t
figure out just what is wrong with a team that was in the last two Grey Cup
games and now seems destined for a last place finish?

Because they can’t.

In the sober, sombeRead More...

Turn Out the Lights; The Party is Over

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 07:44:52 +0100

Saturday, it
was an unusual day. Saskatchewan’s late summer spawned 30 degree plus
temperatures with only a whisper of a breeze. The sky was a sheet of bright
blue, and there was more of the same on the way.

Ah, yes,
more of the same.

In a baking
hot Taylor Field on that day in September, it took the stinging words of a B.C.
Lions player named Aaron Hunt to bring it all home, to wipe away the makeup aRead More...

Back from the Dead - And with a Big Bang!

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 05:01:36 +0100

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have jerked themselves from the land of the living dead in one of the most arresting stories so far this season in the Canadian Football League.

Seemingly ready for the embalmer after falling to 1-7 in a pathetic first-half of the season, the Roughriders resembled anything like a Grey Cup bound team, unless they were willing to buy tickets to the big game in VRead More...

It Was the Day of the Long Knives

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:37:54 +0100

In a province that gave birth to a creature called Rider Nation, whose hot breaths are never far from the back of the necks of those in command of what was once called Canada’s Team; there is never any shortage of experts. And, so, hearing their baying and howling, the Riders’ upper management, which includes Ken Miller, decided to tie the can to head Coach Greg Marshall and offensive coordinator Doug Berry on Friday. And, name Ken Miller as the new head coach, for the seconRead More...

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights

richard.garand@gmail.com — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:14:16 +0100

Well past the sunrise portion of a season that glowed with such hope that was wrapped in the normal plethora of promises, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are taking on water as swiftly as the Titanic. And, some of the relentlessly riveted Rider Nation have it figured that like the captain of the Titanic that fateful night, the Riders’ brass have chosen to believe that nRead More...

A Special Event - For Special People

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:16:37 +0100

In the long, long ago, it took a special family meeting to start a movement that turned into a runaway snowball that created an avalanche of wonder throughout the world. And in the process, removed for once and forever, a stigma that showed man's inhumanity towards man. It was the late 1960s when a member of one of the United States' powerful families gathered her brothers and sisters and parents together in their Hyannis PortRead More...

The Day the Mighty Qu’Appelle Took Over the whole Valley

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 06:57:48 +0100

I have always had this love affair with the town of Lumsden. Perhaps, it is because it was the home of my grandmother and mother. They lived in a brick house halfway up the hill just south of the railway. Perhaps, it is because as kids we would go to Lumsden for Sunday afternoon picnics in the park by the Qu'Appelle River. Or, maybe it is simply because Lumsden sits in one of the most beautiful settings of any town anywhere in this country. &nbsRead More...

Beware The Ides of March

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 07:08:46 +0100

In the final moments of the month of March in a city nobody had ever heard of before this, on a day filled with such hope and fulfillment of a lifelong dream, the clock cruelly struck midnight for Amber Holland's spirited rink from Saskatchewan, and brought to an end The Chase for World Gold. Beware The Ides of March. They had traveled the most remarkable of roads to this place called Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark, each stoRead More...

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 03:14:57 +0100

Regina radio station Z99 held its 24th annual Radiothon for the Regina General Hospital's neo-natal centre, and went over the top in fund-raising. The two-day marathon saw Z99 personalities CC, Buzz and Lori stay on the air for 36 non-stop hours, talking up the fund-raising effort, interviewing people, and generally building momentum.

The Day The Sun Never Set

info@exitrealtyfusion.com — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 23:47:12 +0100

I knew for sure this had to be a special day when my Hillsdale aunt announced from her south Regina estate on Sunday morning that she was not going to miss the championship final of the 2011 Scotties Canadian curling championship for anything.

My Hillsdale aunt, who has never really shown any interest in curling that I know of, suddenly wRead More...
