CharI’m a small town, Northern B-C girl, whose radio career has taken me from Calgary, to Red Deer, and now the Double L. I live for concerts, my 2 Chihuahuas and rock music in general, but hold a special place on my iPod for Pearl Jam, the Black Keys and Soundgarden. When I’m not at work, you’ll be able to find me on the golf course, in front of some trashy reality T-V program, or on a patio enjoying an ice cold frothy beverage. I’m also a proud Vancouver Canucks fan (haters gonna hate), dating back to the days of Kirk MacLean, Trevor Linden and Pavel Bure. Check me out on the Morning Breath with Dalby, I’ll keep you informed about the goings on around the Lloydminster region. Got a question about anything in my blog? Comment? Maybe you just want to express your disdain for something I've said?
