I catch the showbiz bug from an early age, and our family moves from Ottawa to Edmonton in time for the 1973 Grey Cup. In the years that follow, come tales of Football greatness, children's theatre, drag queens, a popular adult bar, and some encounters with some of the greatest players to ever play the game.
