This weekend is The Masters golf tournament from Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Bright's Grove, Ontario's Mike Weir is the defending champion. I just entered a Masters pool at work. I had to select three golfers and the objective is to have the lowest combined score. Every member

Once I told Taryn how much James enjoyed an ice cream cone at his grandmother's house, she added ice cream cones to the grocery list. I wasn't with her when she bought the mini cones, but I wish I was. As I understand it, there were these mini cones in
I grew up on Sesame Street. In the mid to late 70s, it was the show for children and I watched it daily. my mother tells me I'd be glued to the television when Sesame Street was on. Sesame Street is now beginning its 35th season. In recognition of this

I intended to write a lengthy piece about Kurt Cobain, his musical genius and his tragic demise ten years ago today, but there has been so much coverage of this in the printed press, on the radio and on television that I decided to spare everyone the details you all
This afternoon, I rooted for the New Jersey Devils. I don't believe I've ever done that before. A win by the Devils over the Boston Bruins would have given us the division title and a first round match up against the Montreal Canadiens. Who wasn't looking forward to that? The

This game felt like a playoff game. Too bad it wasn't because we whipped 'em good. By blanking the Sens tonight, the Maple Leafs have assured themselves home ice advantage through the first round. Furthermore, if Boston loses tomorrow against New Jersey, we're winning the whole damn division. That makes
The Toronto Blue Jays' 2004 season opens on Monday night against the Detroit Tigers. Roy Halladay will be on the mound for the Jays and it's a 1:05 pm start so I'll be following the game online while I work. I'd prefer to listen to Tom Cheek and Jerry
Here's where we get screwed. Our weekends are already too short and tonight an hour evaporates into thin air. After the Leafs game I'll bump each clock up an hour and our weekend drops from 48 to 47 hours just like that. Sure, we get an extra hour in the

I really don't watch very much television. If you take sports out of the equation, there are only a few shows I have to watch each week. The Simpsons and The Sopranos are probably the only two currently on my "must see" list now that Curb Your Enthusiasm is finished

They're advertising a Dave Matthews concert on the radio. I'm told Dave Matthews is extremely popular with a devout fanbase who follow him on the road in much the same manner Dead Heads followed The Grateful Dead. I just don't get it. First and foremost, I can't stand Dave Matthew's
