My career as a semi-dedicated Leafs blogger is off to a scintillating start: a second post in as many days is up over at Maple Leafs Hot Stove, and has been summarily decreed to be prolix and pointless (though not in those precise terms), except for the part where I mention how awesome Luke Schenn […]

If you’re looking for me here today, you won’t find me at home. Instead, I’m over at Maple Leafs Hot Stove (in a virtual and metaphorical sense only – in real life, I’ve gone to work, honest, boss). Alec Brownscombe has asked me to contribute my thoughts occasionally over at MLHS, and I’ve agreed to […] I have very little time, at the moment, to indulge in any new pastimes. Recently, however, I declared an intention to begin rooting for a team in the English Premiereship – I’ve felt I’m missing something in not following the beautiful game more closely – and I felt the best route towards a greater knowledge […] Sign on Elevator Panel in Hamilton Office Building The above picture was taken in an elevator in the building where I work. The thing that makes me laugh about this sign is that it just so happens that quite a few people suffering from various mental illnesses have occasion to come in to the […] Spouse and I have had four straight days of nearly uninterrupted bliss: with Friday and Monday away from work, we have been enjoying an uncharacteristic surfeit of leisure time. Spouse was bold and adventurous; on Saturday, she headed off to do some volunteer work with some horses and disabled children. As for myself, in order […] On New Year’s Eve, the coffee shop that we usually go to near the office was closed.

Those of you who have had your ears assaulted by Mr. McGuire’s work in the past will know that he is in fact a knowledgeable hockey person. The problem is that he unfortunately is apparently predisposed to sharing his every thought with all the variety and nuance of an eight-year old in the backseat inquiring of the family vehicle’s progress toward Disneyland. […] John Ibbitson draws attention to an interesting quote from Stephen Harper in 2003: The government will prorogue the House so that it will not be held accountable for its shameful record. Mr. Harper, then the leader of the Official Opposition, was outraged at the possibility that a then-Liberal government would prorogue the House of Commons; […] (With apologies to John Moe for totally ripping off his excellent stuff:) POLICE OCCURRENCE REPORT – DECEMBER 25, 2009 Police were dispatched to a location in the general vicinity of complainant’s residence on the morning of December 25th in relation to a report of a deceased elderly female. Upon arrival, officers spoke to complainant/reporter, who […] As I am currently disintegrating into a small pile of trembling viscous goo under the combined pressures of a ridiculous workload at the office and the insanity of trying to make a Christmas in the paltry few minutes remaining to me afterwards, this is not going to be a long or particularly entertaining post. Nevertheless, […] |
