I'm featuring 1988 Topps Cards featuring members of my beloved Blue Jays that are featured on this blog. I've written about our dominance at first base before, and Cecil Fielder got the short end of the stick here in Toronto as a result. Fred McGriff had the everyday job so

I mentioned Ford was going to give me a Ford Focus with Sync technology to test drive. This morning I made the trip to Oakville to pick up my new wheels. I got a great tutorial on this Sync technology. I've got my Blackberry and iPod synced up and it's

Lynn Johnston's comic strip, "For Better or for Worse", is winding down. She says the larger For Better or for Worse story will wrap up at the end of August, and the final new Sunday strip will reveal what the characters get up to in the years to come. I've

I don't know a whole lot about Welland, Ontario. I know it's home to the Welland Canal and it's in the Niagara region, but that's about it. There's someone in Welland who hates Humble and Fred. He (or she, but I'd bet a million dollars it's a he) frequently leaves
