The first thing you have to do to write an article about summer, is to set up your laptop on the patio table in the backyard on a beautiful, sunny, warm day. It looks nice out, but—false alarm—in roll the clouds and you get back inside. There’s a call from your editor: “Is it done yet?” No, just waiting for that inspiring moment. Finally, a beauty of a day—and it’s only the third week of June.

As spring comes to an end, so does Manitoba’s social season. While there is a short summer break for weddings, cabins and other outdoor activities, it all starts up again after the Labour Day long weekend—roughly about the time it takes the blue-ink stamp on your hand from that last May social to rub off.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of 92 CITI FM has allowed me to reflect back on my own years in broadcasting, which number almost 30 as well. I can remember trying to look behind my parents’ stand-up radio/record player, when I was about three years old to try and see the miniature people who I was sure were back there doing all that talking and singing. |

I am determined to make a list and start the year off by putting more pressure on myself. Yes, new year’s resolutions for the year I am personally dubbing “Joe 8!”

Time flies, and time management is one of my worst skills—it’s a deadly cocktail, especially when you have an editor waiting and you’re past deadline.
So, as I lay in bed early today, the morning after daylight-savings, I had a brilliant idea: We haven’t set the clocks back yet, so if I get up right now, and write this article, it can be done in no time at all. I mean, literally, no time, since, when I finish, I can turn the clocks back an hour, and be right back where I started.
