I've probably walked, driven or biked past the Old Mill a thousand times in my life, but I've never been inside until today. This Easter Sunday, we went for brunch at the Old Mill. James and Michelle were fed for free and the Easter Bunny himself (or is it a
A regular season game has never felt more like the playoffs, and the sad thing is we may not even get there this year. In a must win game, a game that had to be won in regulation, we outscored Montreal 2-0 in the third and held on. That was
At the end of two periods, the Leafs trail Montreal 5-4. There are twenty minutes to play and the Leafs need to win this in regulation to have a chance. We came out gang busters, playing awesome hockey when it matters most. The Michael Ryder Show in the second period
TMNT: 3.5 out of 10. In sports, you're often asked to take one for the team. Lean in to that inside pitch to get the base, dive in front of that cannonading slap shot from the point, sacrifice yourself for the benefit of the team. Parenthood isn't much different.
Inside Man: 6.5 out of 10. My Clive Owen movie marathon continued with "Inside Man", a Spike Lee joint that also stars Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Willem Dafoe and Torontonian Christopher Plummer. It's not your typical Spike Lee film, but it's not a bad little heist film. If you
While this city crunches the numbers and prays for an Islander loss this afternoon coupled with a Leafs win tonight, our forgotten basketball team beat the 76ers last night to clinch our first division title. The Atlantic Division crown is ours with six games remaining, quite an improvement from last
I don't say this very often, and I don't think I've said it since Propp, Zezel and Sinisalo wore orange, but I'm saying it today. Go Flyers Go!
I watched this yesterday. It's a BBC documentary about an American family fuelled by hate. You can watch it here in seven parts. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7

What we once referred to as Firefox Extensions are now known as Firefox Add-ons. Call them what you want, I love them regardless. Many of them, in fact, play a key role in my day-to-day life. Here are 10 Firefox Add-ons I simply can't live without. Adblock Plus - You
Yesterday Michelle was Wonder Woman and James was Spider-Man. They asked me to be the Green Goblin. Somehow, at that precise moment, "goblin" sounded like "gobbler" and I blurted out something I hadn't thought about in at least a couple of decades. I told them I was the Alphagetti Gobbler.
When losing your religion, they say you go through five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. This final stage is the best!
We were oh so close to making the Leafs~Habs game Saturday night the one that decides the 8th playoff spot in the East, but the Islanders blew it. Ok, the Leafs blew it, and we no longer control our own fate. Let me break this down for you dudes
"Stealing? How could you?! Haven’t you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain What’s-his-name?"
Raise your hand if you know Wade Dubielewicz. After tonight, that may be a name we Leaf fans never forget. I try not to think about it. Saturday night, Hockey Night in Canada, Leafs vs. Habs to decide the final playoff bound team in the East. We're so close to
Bob Clark and his son were killed by a drunk driver yesterday. In my lifetime I've seen three of his films, and they represent the three Bob Clark's I know. The first Bob Clark movie I ever saw was "A Christmas Story", which he made in 1983. In 2003 I
You've probably caught wind of the controversy surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays commercial featuring Frank Thomas. Thomas uses his strength to annihilate a kid with a pillow. The Television Bureau of Canada, the watchdog that approves TV commercials for private broadcasters, found the ad too aggressive and demanded an edit.
Bob Clark was 67. He was a film director best known for the holiday classic "A Christmas Story" and the Canadian sex comedy "Porky's".
It was quite the night at the Hummingbird Centre. I'm going to break this recap into two sections: the bloggers and the production. The Bloggers I picked up our tickets at the media desk where I met Julie, the woman who hunted me down and was nice enough to answer
I'm not really a theatre guy. Despite having starred as the Wizard of Woe in The Canada Goose, I've only been to the theatre twice as an adult. I was dragged by my wife to see The Lion King and Mamma Mia. Tonight we're going to the Hummingbird Centre to
With Tony Bennett in the house, the Idol wannabes had to sing old American standards. Yawn. Sanjaya Malakar still sucked, Haley Scarnato continued to disrobe, Phil Stacey remained disturbingly bald and LaKisha is still my fave. Here are my three favourites from last night: LaKisha JonesMelinda DoolittleJordin SparksHere are my
Eddie Robinson was 88. He was the Grambling State University football coach who sent more than 200 players to the NFL and won 408 games during a 57-year career.
They're last in the East, but they almost killed our playoff hopes. These games are killing me. The Penguins scored with four seconds left before we pulled it off in overtime and last night the Flyers scored with four minutes to go to tie things up. There are two games
My brother Steve and I had a little Gtalk going during tonight's thriller at the ACC. The Leafs won, and here's our thrilling convo. 8:50 PM Mike: big pp coming up! 8:50 PM Steve: they have a great pk for some reason 8:50 PM Steve: only Raycroft
