Greetings PE Nation!
Ever wondered how a simple trip across the border can turn into a memorable adventure? Join me as I take you back to my youth growing up near the Canadian border in Buffalo, New York. From concerts to baseball games and even a wild post-college trip to Toronto, my experiences highlight the connection to Canadian culture that I developed over the years. I'll also share my embarrassing tale at the border!
But this episode is not all fun and games. I pay tribute to the late Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip, a band whose music has left an indelible mark on me. Despite not being Canadian, I found a profound connection in their lyrics and performances, especially after Gord’s passing on my birthday. You’ll hear about my obsessive music tendencies, the emotional impact of songs like "Ahead by a Century" and "Bobcaygeon," as well as a personal invitation to explore Downie’s work and the documentary "Long Time Running." Take a listen and let me know what you think.
