Later today, right here in Toronto, the NHL Players' Association will meet with the NHL armed with a new proposal. The two sides haven't met since September and it's fairly clear these meetings will be the last opportunity to salvage this season. Every stitch of logic and business intelligence in
It was twenty-four years ago today that John Lennon was shot four times in the back by Mark Chapman. I was quite young at the time, but I remember a brief discussion in grade one that one of the Beatles had died. I knew the Beatles were famous and that
I was a casual fan of Mötley Crüe back in the 80s and I even spun their Dr. Feelgood disc from time to time, rockin' out to "Kickstart My Heart" and the title track while chillin' to "Without You" and "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)", but I have

This week we celebrate one full year of James sleeping soundly through the night. As I detailed in this entry, we Ferberized him and he's been the world's greatest sleeper for 365 days now. The nightly routine is as follows. At about 19:00 he has a bath, at about
Driving along the information super highway, I've encountered a number of ads for TD Waterhouse featuring my good friend Executive Assistant District Attorney John J. 'Jack' McCoy. In fact, you can see Sam Waterston's mug on this TD Waterhouse page. I remember seeing another face online associated with this brokerage

This note ain't for you, it's for the Gap. A month ago, our televisions were inundated with Gap commercials featuring Sarah Jessica Parker bopping to Lenny Kravitz' "Lady". "Lady" is a new tune of his from his new album "Baptism". This advertisement was the first time we all heard this

CFNY Edge 102 has been playing "Me Against The World" from Simple Plan on fairly heavy rotation. This tune has even been on their Thursday 30 chart for the past couple of weeks. It's horrible. It's the whiney, poppy, pathetic sound I can't stand. Sure, they're from Montreal and they
Usually we buy a new tube of toothpaste well before the current tube expires, but yesterday, it was abundantly clear that we urgently needed more. It somehow slipped Taryn's mind yesterday because I awoke this morning to find there wasn't even enough for a brief brushing. If you're going to
