Good times

I like to think that today, the Bordens would have a MySpace page (maintained by youngest son Gary) and hold variety show podcasts from their rec room. And their "Friends" would mostly be older son Roger's high school classmates, who leave comments like, "OMG!!! saw you at the legion hall in trenton...u rawk" and "when r u coming back to dryden?"

And then one day they would get namechecked on CBC Radio 3 and discover they've been elevated to cult status by indie electropop bands. "I don't know who these Holy, er, Fudge boys are," Mrs. Borden would say over the phone to her sister in Kamloops. "But they sent us some nice e-mails."
