My Quote of the Week

"I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it

Too Close For Comfort

All day long I've been digesting the news that 17 suspected terrorists were arrested here in Toronto accused of obtaining three times the amount of explosives used in the Oklahoma City bombing.  The Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested the suspects on terrorism charges including plotting attacks with explosives on Canadian

A Simple Twist of Fate

Time sure does fly.  It was almost ten years ago that 12 year old Jeffrey Maier interfered with a deep fly ball hit by Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter.  Had Maier not deflected the ball, Oriole outfielder Tony Tarasco would have made the catch and Baltimore would have won game one

It's That Time Again

It's that time again when otherwise proud Canadians delve into their family tree until they hit a country represented in the World Cup.  We all know the drill.  Checking the schedule you know which areas in the GTA to avoid on which days.  It all gets underway a week from

Stealing the 2004 Election

I just read a very interesting Rolling Stone article from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  Here's an excerpt. Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad never received their ballots -- or received them too late to vote -- after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site

Leaf Math

Our beloved Toronto Maple Leafs agreed to a five-year deal with defenceman Bryan McCabe yesterday.  The deal is worth between $5.5 million US and $6 million per year.  The Star did some Leaf math for the 2006/2007 season, and the numbers don't equal a Stanley Cup parade on

Raging Storm 12, Hollywoods 7

It was a strange night from the get-go.  First there was the tornado warning and ever-threatening rain and lightning.  Again, I was shocked (not literally, but almost) we got a full game in with a sky as dark as this and this.  It rained a little and there were flashes

Blame God

Pope Benny visited Auschwitz on Sunday.  His words were widely reported, but here's an excerpt in case you missed it.  "In a place like this, words fail; in the end, there can be only a dread silence, a silence which itself is a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did

Playoff Pool: Day Forty

This series deserved a game seven.  The Sabres refuse to lose and Saturday's game promises to be far better than the only other game seven we've had during these playoffs.  In our pool, Marc and Ryan will be paying close attention to this game as it probably determines the winner

Unparalleled Argo Buzz

I've lived in this city for 31 years and I've never felt this type of buzz for our football team.  The closest was probably when we signed Rocket Ismael out of Notre Dame, but it wasn't quite like this Ricky Williams vibe that's gripping Toronto right now.  This is just
