When I was a kid, I loved visiting my friend Chris's house. Chris has cases of pop in his basement and we could help ourselves. For a 12-year old, this was awesome. I remember he had cases of Pepsi with the press button cans. There was the one big hole
Here's a photoset from my visit to Dublin in 2012.
I hear the Habs came back from a 3-goal deficit with under four minutes remaining against the Sens last night. I missed it completely, because with the Leafs not playing on HNIC, I was participating in a family Euchre tournament. It was guys against gals and we guys were victorious.
I've been listening to Scot Turner's Spirit of Radio Sunday on 102.1 the Edge and it's great. Earlier today, they played I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats, a song that references a telex machine. If you're my age or younger, you've likely never seen a telex machine.
David Brenner was 78. He was the lanky, toothy-grinned "Tonight Show" favorite whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser.
Prior to September 2013, I enjoyed popping into Google Analytics and checking out the top organic keywords that brought visitors to this site. I used to share the top ten on a monthly basis. It wasn't just fun for this site, but it was awfully convenient in my professional life.

I snapped this photo on Sunday durng my flight from Frankfurt to Toronto. I really like how it turned out. By the way, when I checked the big departures board at the Frankfurt airport, they listed my destination as Soronto.
I saw this ad for Certified General Accountants on Twitter last week, and it's still irking me. It insinuates anyone of status would not bike to work. Only lowly, poor interns bike. The premise is that CEOs don't have to bike because they're important people who make good money. And

There's lots going on in the world of George Stroumboulopoulos. First Bob McKenzie reported that he was going to fill Ron MacLean's seat hosting Hockey Night in Canada and now CBC has announced they're not bringing back George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight next season. Other than his annoying love of the Habs,
In Germany, you'll see signs that read "Ausfahrt" all over the place. Here's one: That ensures plenty of giggles during your visit.
It's sunny and 14° in Mainz today, so I've been out checking out the Mainz Market, soaking in the sun and snapping pictures of this beautiful city 16km east of Frankfurt. Here are a few pics I took earlier today. And if you want to see more, here's the entire

Remember Sheriff? They were a Canadian rock band that scored a big US hit with When I'm With You years after they disbanded. Sheriff was vocalist Freddy Curci, guitarist Steve DeMarchi, keyboardist Arnold Lanni, bassist Wolf Hassel and drummer Rob Elliott. Sheriff - When I'm With YouWhen Sheriff broke up,
I just dropped off the Buick Regal AWD Turbo lent to me by GM Canada. I could have had it longer, but I'll be out of the country for a bit so I drove it back today. It was damn fun enjoying the 259hp. 259hp, but still very, very quiet.

By now we’re all aware that Tim Horton’s is part of the fabric of this great nation. At least, that’s what their ad agency tells us. So like a lot of Canadians, most days on my way in to work I stop at T-Ho's for a coffee.

Earlier today, I had a Twitter exchange with a woman I've never met. Her name is Catherine Solmes and she's @ccath on Twitter. Catherine seemed quite upset by Rob Ford's trip to LA to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live. My plan was to completely ignore this story, and most of
