To Paris, for Hardware.

I know this is getting comical, but I just don’t have the time to post the Roughrider poetry contest winner tonight. With a little luck, an easterly crosswind and a downhill lie, I’ll get it posted tomorrow night.

In the meantime, I need to tell you about my trip to Paris today. Like most people, […]

Shameless Self Promotion Dept.

Hey, my ode to another lost season got front paged at Pension Plan Puppets!

With apologies to Don McLean.

With apologies to Don McLean – not the guy who sits next to Don Cherry on HNIC, the singer/songwriter – I give you an ode to another lost season:

I see that during my period of un-connectedness, the spam fairies have paid a visit in the Comments section. Note to self: have senior technicians at the Juniorvanian Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) get on that little problem. The People demand an […]

Juniorvania: Claimed.

BREAKING NEWS: It’s official, as of 4:25 p.m. All hail the founding of Juniorvania! Spouse and I are headed out to the Kingdom this evening and will be spending the night there on an air mattress and in a sleeping bag. Bliss!

Quinn it is.

I wrote a post the other day about the Leafs/Flyers game on Wednesday night, listening to it on the radio, and the memories that awakened for me about following my teams as a kid; in particular, I wrote a little about listening to the radio broadcasts of Windsor Spitfires games.
