Hi, I’m Jack Latimer the Jack part of the Jack & Carey morning show (you did figure out I’m the Jack part, right?)  Radio being a fun job is what keeps me coming to work so early in the morning and keeps me feeling young.  Yes I still think I’m in my 20′s, although it’s kind of scary to think that when I first started in radio, Carey was still in public school.  This doesn’t back-up Carey’s claim that I’m old, but might reveal that Carey spent too many years in public school.  Trying to play a good song on the guitar and trying to watch a winning Leaf game are two ways I relax. I don’t relax a whole lot in the winter.  Favorite colour-blue, favourite book-The Bible, favourite food-chicken, favourite animal-dog, least favourite thing-writing these kind of things.

May 14th is Chicken Dance Day.   The Chicken Dance is a tradition at weddings,  but I’ve decided when it falls on the day following the Toronto Maple Leafs being put out of the playoffs, Leaf fans should be entertained by friends doing the Chicken Dance to help add some cheer to a blue and [...]
