Brrr! It's cold in here! (there must be some Flames in the atmosphere?)

Yes, it's true -- the weather has officially frozen my brain cells and reduced me to singing ripped off lines from the movie "Bring It On".  So rather than further embarrassing myself by spewing forth nonsensical rhymes, I thought I'd share a cute video that I stumbled across on YouTube today.

But first, I need to do what us Canadians do best. Talk. About. The. Weather.

Alas, we're really never happy with what Mother Nature doles out. "This blizzard is ridiculous!" quickly turns into "Is it hot enough for ya today?"  And to make matters worse, I almost hate sharing the following photos of today's weather Calgary, for fear of perpetuating the stereotype that Canada is also cold and snowy.  But this is the reality for today: -37 degrees Celsius with the wind chill and an abundance of snow creating whiteout conditions.

Reading my blog from a warm, sunny, tropical location? Here's what you're missing out on:

Yeah. Brutal, I know.  While looking for parody videos of a variety of music videos today, I came across this non-viral gem created by 2 youngsters entitled "Canadian Boys".  Enjoy!
