I intentionally waited a couple of days before writing this entry. Immediately following The Sopranos series finale on Sunday night I posted this entry which featured the song that played during the pivotal closing scene. In the comments, there was a discussion about the episode and I revealed some of
I subscribe to a Toronto Maple Leafs news feed from Yahoo!, and this morning's headline instantly grabbed my attention. "Redden, McCabe could be available". Toronto Maple Leafs rearguard Bryan McCabe still has four years left on his deal, but the New York Islanders might make a pitch for him if
Humble Howard says "Bon Cop Bad Cop" is the best Canadian movie he's ever seen. He openly admits that he hasn't seem a lot of Canadian films, but who amongst us has? I can only think of a handful of Canadian movies that I've truly loved. The first couple of
My quest to come up with a definitive list of the 100 best Canadian tunes of all-time is into the R's and heading full steam into the S's. Here's the twelfth dump of Canadian gems. Rheostatics - Record Body CountRheostatics - ClaireRobbie Robertson - Showdown At Big SkyRough Trade -
Driving home from my ball game tonight, I saw my brother and his family crossing the street. I wanted to get his attention, so I honked my horn. No big deal, right? Actually, it was. It was the first time I had heard my horn in years. In the eight
I recently bought a new car. It's actually not a new car, but it's new to me, and when I bought it it came with a certificate proving it had recently passed an emissions test. If you look at the test results, you'll see it wasn't even close. This morning
Michelle, my comedically inclined two year old daughter, has her own catch phrase. To induce pure hilarity, she proudly exclaims "Stink My Butts". I don't know where this came from. It didn't come from her older brother who would never have adopted such a catch phrase for fear "butts" is
Here's Journey performing "Don't Stop Believin'". Those who know, know. Those who don't, don't. Don't stop.
A.T., a local blogger in the East end of the city, has officially named me a cool white guy. A.T. read entries in which I praised Martin Scorsese's "The Departed", and he actually sent me a DVD copy of "Infernal Affairs", the Hong Kong film upon which "The
As I hope tonight's series finale of "The Sopranos" is great, my mind has drifted to Pam and Jim. If you watch "The Office", you know the Pam and Jim relationship is key to the storyline. We all root for Pam and Jim and hope their timing syncs up. The
June 10th has been circled on my calendar for a while and now that date has arrived. Tonight I'll be watching the series finale of "The Sopranos". Series finales can be tricky. Expectations are often pretty high and everyone's looking for some type of closure. The last time I said
Between games two and three at this afternoon's slo-pitch tournament, we all went out to lunch and Jordy said I look like the guy from "Little People, Big World". Matt Roloff is the guy from "Little People, Big World", and he's a little person. Engell's girlfriend totally agreed with Jordy,
They bill it as "the largest co-ed SPN qualifier tournament in the west end". Some call it the "16th Annual RSPA/Stripes Slo-Pitch Tournament". I call it "how I spent my entire Saturday". I checked in at Diamond Beach headquarters at 8am and spent the day playing ball at Max

Only five days ago I caved and succumbed to the pressures of Facebook. I didn't dive in, I didn't use my full name nor did I post my alma maters. I'm even using a fake picture. After five days I can see why people get addicted to this tool. It's

The body of this site is a good old fashioned HTML table. It's simply two columns, but I've always intended to blow away this table and create the same effect with pure CSS. In my spare time I've been hacking away at this CSS solution, and boy does it look

I see Paris Hilton is dominating the news again this morning. She was released from jail after three days and now there's word she might go back to the pen. Every time Paris Hilton hits the news I have to remind myself why this is news. She was born rich,
For fun, I just read all the entries I wrote three years ago. What caught my eye was this entry about The Sopranos I wrote on June 6, 2004. The Sopranos Published June 6, 2004 @ 21:58 in TelevisionI just finished watching the season five finale of The Sopranos. Another
Eventually, something had to give. My new 5k clinic meets every Monday night, but my slo-pitch team often plays on Monday nights as well. The two collided this week, and slo-pitch won. The two are scheduled to collide again next week and the result will be the same. I ran
Moments ago, someone went to Ask.com and posed this question. Can weed get into my system from blowing a brainer? I'm the #1 result from Ask.com when you ask that particular question, but I don't have the answer. As I reflect upon the question, I find it profound
ABO won and ABF won, making it a wonderful conclusion to our 2007 Playoff Pool. ABF stands for Anyone But Felice. Marc Felice has won our pool more often than not, and it's nice to see him finish in the back of the pack for a change. Ryan won easily,
Ever since I was a little kid I've loved seeing the Stanley Cup get awarded and paraded around by the winning team. Players hoist the cup, kiss it, lift it high to the heavens, celebrate and pass it along. It's magic. With a period to play in Anaheim, it looks
