It's a shame I only get to pull this one out once a year. It's a classic. May the Fourth be with you.

Many are disappointed with Calgary's loss last night. Everyone wanted to see the battle of Alberta. Everyone, except me. I'm growing a little tired of Alberta. Who do they think they are? The centre of power in Canada has always been Ontario, but now Alberta has the money and the
I just submitted a tune for SLS15 consideration. I submitted "Steady, As She Goes" from The Raconteurs. Jack White of The White Stripes contributes vocals, guitars and keyboards to The Raconteurs, a very promising band from the sounds of it. "Steady, As She Goes" is their first single and fantastic.

Earl Woods was 74. He was Tiger Wood's father, the architect and driving force behind his phenomenal career.
There was a time when I would look forward to the summer blockbusters. There might be a new Raiders of the Lost Ark or a highly touted big-budget gem like "Jurassic Park". There was actual anticipation for these flicks. Those days are long gone. I rarely look forward to a

I'm glad the Habs lost. Sure they're Canadian, but I still hate 'em. So much success, it's so unfair. I'm also glad the Flyers are out. Bob Clarke's Flyers are hateful. The last time we had playoff hockey in Toronto, it was the Flyers who beat us in six in
On February 7th, I relaunched this site, powered by Movable Type. I went back and manually put all previous entries from 2006 into MT but I left entries from November 2002 through December 2005 in their original files. The plan, as I outlined it here, was to knock off one
Do you remember when Edgefest was a darn good rock n' roll show? CFNY Edge 102 used to put some serious effort into this show, hiring solid closers like Radiohead, Green Day, The Tragically Hip and more. Lately, it's been more of a joke. The last Edgefest I attended was
The scrolling electronic sign on five different Go trains displayed an interested fact yesterday. "Stephen Harper Eats Babies." This message was repeated on a continuous loop. Go Transit has gone on the record denying that Stephen Harper devours innocent children. Stephen Harper's own people have said the same. They're claiming

Is the apocalypse upon us? Are my eyes deceiving me? Did the Clippers really win a playoff round last night? I can't think of a team in professional sports that better symbolizes mediocrity to me. The Clippers have been pretty damn awful throughout most of my life. They hadn't won
What's the deal with the Red Wings? This team won the President's Trophy as the regular season team with the most points yet they bowed out rather easily in the first round. It's a great line-up, with a nice mix of youth and veterans who have won in all before,
As you may have read today, ABC is now streaming full episodes of many television shows, totally free until June 30. "Lost" is on the list, as is "Desperate Housewives". Unfortunately, if you reside outside the United States as I do, you're outta luck. Or are you? Here's a simple

John Kenneth Galbraith was 97. He was the University of Toronto graduate who went on to become an influential liberal economist, best-selling author and presidential advisor.
Four teams are out, the biggest hurt was felt by yours truly. When the Stars bowed out early and unexpectedly to the Avs, 40% of my team went with them. It's all over but the cryin'. For the current standings, visit http://www.torontomike.com/2006hockeypool.html.
While I was converting the November 2005 entries into MT, I came across this Leafs recap of our November 11 game against the Sabres. It was yet another game we lost by a goal but should have won handidly. We slipped to 8-7-2 but we could have easily won 12

Enzo lost three players yesterday when Tampa Bay bowed out, but he lives and dies by the play of the Calgary Flames. He has five Flames who have combined to give him 24 points and a share of the lead. For the current standings, visit http://www.torontomike.com/2006hockeypool.
