Is it too early to hit the panic button? That's four losses in a row with the next couple of games in Ottawa. No Leafs team has lost five in a row since Pat Quinn strolled into town way back in 1998. Our defense is pretty thin with Bryan McCabe,
I've written quite a bit about Sam Bulte this month. It began with this entry, continued with this one and seemed to conclude yesterday with this one. Checking in on the news of the day has inspired me to write one more about my current MP. In this Toronto Star
Is there a guy my age who didn't love Guns N' Roses? I'm sure there is, but I'm not him. I was a huge fan. Although Axl Rose is the only guy left from the glory days of the band, he's been promising a new album for about a decade

The Tragically Hip wanted us to know they're currently in the process of recording a new studio album with producer Bob Rock. Once completed, they will be out on the road performing select shows in Canada, the USA and Europe this year. I've been itching for a Hip show, so
I was enjoying a great road game with the Leafs leading by a goal when we took a penalty in the second period for having too many men on the ice. That put us two men down and Milan Hejduk promptly scored. That put us only one man down when
On New Year's Eve 2005, CFNY Edge 102 counted down their top 102 songs of the year. I would have posted their list earlier in the year, but I couldn't find it on their site. I finally wrote Alan Cross about it and he got me in touch with the
Earlier this month, I wrote about Sam Bulte and her conflict of interest. She's the MP in my riding who has backed U.S.-style copyright laws while the Canadian Recording Industry Association and the Canadian Motion Pictures Distributors Association filled her coffers. I admitted in that entry that I
Imaginary Heroes: 7 out of 10. Movies about dysfunctional families have always appealed to me. This one is pretty good. We kick things off with a suicide and immerse ourselves in the characters, well portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, Emile Hirsch, Jeff Daniels and others. It's better than you think.

Today, Taryn and I are celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary. Here's the story of us... In early January of 1996, when she was twenty and I was twenty-one, we were chatting on the phone one night as we often did. We had only met eight months earlier, but we
With a 3-0 lead in the first, I thought this game was going to be in the bag. I figured we could put it in cruise control and slap the two points on the board. I still can't believe we blew it. It was the first Saturday night this season

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith: 8 out of 10. The saga is indeed complete, and it concludes on a high note. I was really disappointed with "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" and although "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" was
Shelley Winters was 85. She was the forceful, outspoken star who graduated from blond bombshell parts to dramas, winning Academy Awards as supporting actress in "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "A Patch of Blue."
