Requiem for Popeye: 1993-2009

How do you say goodbye to a friend?

Last night, Spouse and I were awake a little later than usual; she was idly catching up with some Facebook friends, and I had my nose buried in my newly arrived Maple Leafs Annual. Popeye got up from his usual resting place – in front of the […]

Maple Leafs Annual 2009-2010: IT’S HERE!!!

RED LETTER DAY FOR ME!!!

My complimentary copy of the 2009-2010 Maple Leafs Annual – the Leafs season preview magazine containing my article on the arc of the Leafs’ rebuild and published by the “lunatic millionaires” who are “allergic to money” has arrived! Can you believe it, my piece was published on page 85, well […]

Tornado in George

Well, I suppose it wasn’t technically a tornado that George took us through on the way home today. But it was close enough for me, as close as “dammit” is to swearing anyway, and I was well and truly happy to be home once we had made our way through a truly blinding storm. There […]

Stitching Together Ayr

This photograph is a composite of at least five separate images taken with my iPhone and automatically stitched together with the application “autostitch”. It’s a view from the bridge over the pond in Centennial Park, looking west towards Northumberland street.

I am amazed at the job this application did. I literally just cranked off […]

Maple Leafs Annual 2009-2010

BUY THIS BOOK, DAMMIT. OR LUKE SCHENN WILL ERASE YOU.

Remember the big secret, the writing project that I was feverishly beavering away at (and – miracle of miracles – actually finishing) a few weeks ago?

Well, it’s not so much a secret anymore.

The good folks at Maple Street Press (previously described in […]

Highlander Limited Hybrid in the Hizzouse

George, our new Highlander Limited Hybrid, is here. We are now accepting applications for a posse intent on rolling with us. Please be advised, however, that you either ride with us – or collide with us.

Spouse makes a strange face to celebrate George's arrival.

This is the part where you say, “Damn, George […]

Talkin’ Bout a Revolution, it Sounds Like a Twitter

Will Tweet For Food

There’s a revolution coming, people. Not the “We’d like to sell you some mutual funds by incorporating music that used to be subersive into our otherwise non-threatening and highly establishment-based television ad” kind of revolution. Not the kind that requires a lot of marching with torches, either (which is good, […]
