Christmas in the valley.
Occasionally, I’ll share a little something from my music collection, or something I find online, that may or may not have some actual connection to me and/or my family. In this case, it’s a video that was actually uploaded, not by me, to Youtube in 2006. Personally, I think it’s … Read the rest

When your network takes a crap, and takes your email with it.
At some point during the night last night, and rather inconveniently after Jessica and I had run off to bed and so I couldn’t immediately determine that it was a network issue, this blog, a rarely updated–and, in fact, rather neglected for a couple weeks–political blog, and our email among … Read the rest

Islanders 4, Maple Leafs 3.
We were doing so well, too. Well, for about a period and a half anyway. We kept them off the board in the first, and even Toskala managed to make a few huge saves in the frame. I mean, granted we didn’t do a whole lot of actually scoring ourselves, … Read the rest

OC Transpo switches it up for the winter.
Break out the calendar if you plan on taking the bus next week, and mark down this Saturday’s date under “Important to remember”. OC Transpo has released their winter service schedule, with a twist for a lot of popular routes, which will be effective from then on. To start, they … Read the rest

Can’t fault the guy for trying.
Everyone who knows me knows I’m a Jays fan. Have been at least in passing since the early 90’s. Have been a more hardcore fan starting in approximately 1999 or 2000. And with every year, and every game I’ve actually been able to sit down and watch, things seem to … Read the rest

The more random and stupid the email, the better.
And I’ve been known to get some pretty decent random, and stupid, emails. I got this one last Wednesday.

Maple Leafs 2, Capitals 1.
So they do know how to win. Or at least, how to pretend to win. And in a shootout, of all things–that’s been a problem for them since they introduced the bloody thing back in 2005. Well into the season’s second month, and we’re the proud owners of a 4th … Read the rest

Hurricanes 6, Maple Leafs 5.
Uh. What? How in the hell did we go from a 3-goal lead at the end of the second period, to… to… well… losing. In a shootout. Badly. We just don’t do that. Like, at all. Against Carolina, of all freaking teams. Carolina. Loser of 14 straight at one point. … Read the rest

I am so here.
As the title says, I made it here intact and about 5 minutes ahead of schedule. We were supposed to be in by quarter past midnight, but ended up actually pulling in at about 10 past, give or take delays. Most of Friday night was spent being all manner of … Read the rest

A moment in history. Or, not.
For perhaps the second time in my life, my Christmas shopping is officially complete. And it’s not even the last week of November–although I didn’t miss it by much. And, with the exception of the mother thing almost spying her gift by accident–fortunately, she didn’t end up looking in that … Read the rest
