The 2010-2011 Maple Leafs Annual: TOP SHELF. Way back in mid-July, confident that the Ilya Kovalchuk free agency mystery would surely be over in a matter of days, I sat down and started writing the piece that eventually turned into “Full Speed Ahead”, my contribution to this year’s Maple Leafs Annual. “Full Speed Ahead” […] Six Words of Truth By now, I should probably have a whole category dedicated to “posts in which I apologize for being a lazy dilettante who wanders off from time to time, transfixed by something shiny”. I don’t want to say I haven’t posted in a while, but there have been two – two! […] If you’re looking for me here today, you won’t find me at home.

The good folks at Maple Street Press (previously described in […] I Am So Dope.

It’s the first time I’ve been commissioned to write something for publication. Naturally, I wanted to make as good an impression as possible, so I promptly missed […] I have been working all day on a writing project that is due shortly. The “writing process” (by which I mean “staring at the screen wondering what the hell I’ve gottem myself into”) was going painfully slow a bit earlier, so Spouse convinced me to take a break to go into town.
