By junior on August 31, 2008, at 10:57 pm …the First Annual Founder’s Day Celebration and National Holiday, including Festivals of Sport and Competition (a la Jacques Rogge) “a most remarkable success.”
Details to follow, but the winner of the inaugural Juniorvanian Open Championship of Par 3 Golf – with a score of 34 (+7) – is my father in law Harold. The rest […]
By junior on August 29, 2008, at 9:21 am From email correspondence with my friend Todd:
Todd: On an unrelated note, I was reading the messianic praise of Obama’s speech, and in the article in The Star was a quote from Reagan in the 80’s. He described the Afghans battling the Russian invaders as “freedom fighters”. It confused me. I thought that the term […]
By junior on August 28, 2008, at 10:51 pm Busy, busy, busy like a bee this week. It has been a heavy week at work for both Spouse and I, and we are starting to go into maximum-overdrive-on-the-border-of-but-not-quite-panicking (because that’s not productive) mode about the charity event we’re organizing. We are members of the committee charged with putting together the silent auction/kick-off party for […]
By junior on August 26, 2008, at 10:39 pm It’s been a busy few days; Spouse and I are readying the Nation for the First Annual Founder’s Day Celebration and National Holiday, including Festivals of Sport and Competition and particularly the Juniorvanian Open Championship of Par 3 Golf, which takes place this weekend. We are expecting the whole family to gather to partake in […]
By junior on August 24, 2008, at 11:18 pm Sunday was largely dedicated to some heavy slogging in Mission Control. The electronic nerve centre of Juniorvania has a sleek new look and – it is hoped – the technical capacity to produce some music. Now if we could only manage to reduce the temperatures therein to something less than “white hot blazing heat of […]
By junior on August 23, 2008, at 5:43 pm One more day of Olympic fun, and then it’s a long wait until Vancouver.
I have to admit that Spouse and I have been complete summer games junkies over the last few days. We have been camping out at night on the fold-out sofa bed in the living room so that we can fall asleep […]
By junior on August 19, 2008, at 8:57 pm I wrote a little bit the other day about Canadian show-jumping phenomenon Eric Lamaze. Here is a great article about Lamaze from the Toronto Star; I don’t know how long it will remain online, but it gives some pretty good insight into the type of beginnings from which he arose.

By junior on August 19, 2008, at 8:11 pm I don’t like to tell tales out of school, but (hypothetically) someone I know – someone whose nickname on this site rhymes with “mouse” – has a bit of a problem with the Olympics. The Olympics cause this person to become a complete puddle of tears. Hypothetically, you could put a nine year old child […]
By junior on August 16, 2008, at 11:03 am Usain Bolt: the guy nearly stumbles coming out of the blocks (dragging his left toe on the first stride), shuts the engine off at about 80m (foregoing a full-power effort for the last 8 strides of what is for him a 42 stride race) and STILL shatters the world record and lays down a 9.69. […]
By junior on August 12, 2008, at 9:12 pm I have been away from the blogging for a while. It matters not what lame excuse I might offer. According to WordPress’ little numbering system, this is post number 200, so maybe I just had a little mental block about the double century. Whatever.
The important point is that I have received a clear and […]
