Glad You Asked: Weekend To-Dos
Posted By Colin Wolf on April 12, 2013, 1:00 PM
Dear GYA, Can you settle a bet for me? Tell me if I'm wrong, but that song by Sheryl Crow, "Every Day Is a Winding Road," I'm pretty sure the lyrics go: "Every day is a winding road, I get a little bit closer. Every day is infinity fine, I get a little bit closer to feeling fine." Am I right? Who wouldn't want to feel infinity fine? Speaking of that, is there anything happening this weekend that is infinity fine? - Bobby Indiot, Draper---
Bobby, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're way off. The song actually goes: "Every day is a winding road, I get a little bit closer. Every day is a fantasy slide, I get a little bit closer to feeling fine." It's an easy mix-up. However, here are a few things happening this weekend that are definitely infinity fine.
