I've never heard a doctor suggest there's little value in getting a flu shot. In fact, every doctor I've ever spoken to about it or heard speak on the subject has extolled the benefits of the flu shot. When James came down with pneumonia last year, we were all but

I'm often asked why I rarely share video clips anymore, going so far as to remove My Videos from the main navigation menu. The fact of the matter is, I prefer snapping photos over shooting video so I've decided to share more photos and less video. Having said all that,
In America: 8 out of 10. This is a very well acted beauty of a film. Dubliner Jim Sheridan brought us "My Left Foot", "In The Name Of The Father" and "The Boxer" before he brought us this gem about an Irish Catholic family emigrating to New York.
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures, including the always popular "Michelle with Santa" shot. I'd have posted a "James with Santa" picture as well, but James wasn't the least bit interested in playing along.

I can pin point a moment in October 1993 when the Toronto sports scene was euphoric. Joe Carter went deep in game six against the Phillies and we had our second World Series title in a row. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs were reeling off ten victories in a row to

Bobby Mattick was 89. He was one of the Toronto Blue Jays' original employees, managing the team in 1980 and 1981. He played a key administrative role in scouting and developing the talent that carried the Blue Jays to five AL East titles and two World Series championships.
Now that it's happened, I thought I'd delve into the vault and reexamine the entries I wrote about Vince Carter. They say a great deal about my conflicted feelings about him and what he brings brought to my Toronto Raptors. Lets take a look, shall we? Fittingly, there are fifteen.
I'm flooded with mixed emotions now that it's finally happened. The Toronto Raptors have traded Vince Carter to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for center Alonzo Mourning, forward Eric Williams, center/forward Aaron Williams and two conditional first-round draft picks. It wasn't that long ago that Carter owned this

I closely monitor the rise and fall of songs on CFNY Edge 102's Thursday 30. About a month or so ago, they began putting a little Canadian flag next to the Canadian artists on their chart. I liked this little feature because it lets me know right away whether a
I love articles like this one from the San Francisco Chronicle. It's a great read with a great headline that immediately caught my attention. Canada Goes To Hell: Legal pot? Legal gay marriage? Universal health care? What's next, free porn and candy? I won't ruin it for you. Set aside

We should all get behind the campaign to have Steve Nash named MVP of the NBA this season. Eric Neel's "A Candidate We Can All Root For" says it best. "If Steve Nash is the MVP, we're not about wars of attrition, muscle-bound match-ups, and watch-the-paint-dry isolations. We're about pace,

Stuck On You: 4.5 out of 10. The first 45 minutes of this flick was kind of funny, but that was mainly because of the sight gags. It's a one joke movie and once you're tired of it there's not much to stick around for. This was no "There's
