The Flame in the Big Smoke

The Flame made an appearance on CBC Sunday this morning! Talk about momentous occasions. It’s a little hard to actually see the plume of flame pouring out of the torch on top of his football helmet, but this is the best I could do with limited video colour correction skillz.

Cue the Lynch Mob

I wrote yesterday’s post, about the now almost certainly imminent demise of Maple Leaf head coach Paul Maurice, sometime in the afternoon.

Later that same night, the Leafs went out and watched the Coyotes beat them 5-1. They offered approximately the same amount of resistance to the Coyotes as drifts of snow offer to howling […]

Rigor Maurice?

I haven’t dipped into the MSM today to check on the status of Paul Maurice’s job as Leaf head coach, but man oh man, things are not looking good for him from where I sit.

First, let me say this: Paul seems like a decent fellow and I have quite enjoyed listening to him […]

NaNoReMo Update

I am still reading the NaNoReMo selection, Catch-22. I haven’t been blogging about the book recently because I am now ahead of the group schedule set out by Matthew and I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. As they say on the news, “film at eleven.”

It Isn’t Easy Being Green.

The return of the Grey Cup game to Toronto after a 15 year absence is one of the very strong storylines underlying Sunday’s Winnipeg vs. Saskatchewan match for the CFL championship.

Stephen Brunt, in his usual excellent fashion, has written a piece on Hogtown’s curious relationship with the Grey Cup game. In addition to […]

#1 with a Bullet.

There’s been a late breaking (but impressive) bid for a 2007 Darwin award:

Two guys in Florida were fooling around with a loaded 9mm handgun, chucking it back and forth to one another. In doing so, the gun accidentally (though highly predictably) dischaged, with the result that one fellow shot himself in the hand – […]

Coupe Grey 2007

I can’t let the 2007 CFL season pass on without commenting on the upcoming Grey Cup game – next Sunday in Toronto at the Don’t-Call-Me-Skydome-Anymore Rogers Centre.

Obviously, as a Ticats season ticket holder, I would prefer that the Hamiltonians would be present and oski-ing our collective wee wee. It was fairly obvious, however, following […]

Fries and Lord Vader

Eddie Izzard- Death Star Canteen

From my friend (and Taiwanese Heroes in Rehab correspondent) April: the majesty that is Jeff Vader.

Make of it what you will.

We were out for a little drive earlier today; we slept in a little, headed south to Beamsville to collect some new riding boots from the Greenhawk store there, stopped for breakfast at one of our favorite little haunts, the Open Kitchen in Stoney Creek, drove up the new Red Hill Valley Parkway for the […]

Might as well jump.

Recently, Spouse and I attended the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto. A friend of ours was competing in the Talent Class show jumping competition at the Royal. Her first round of competition – in Friday night’s class – didn’t go so well, and we both felt terrible for our friend because we knew she […]
