Life with Kids

Back from a Saturday over night with old pals with kids. Eighteen years ago he and me looked like this with the car shown left. It was the first night over at someone's place where there were more kiddlies (5) than adults (4). Still, got a few Upper Canada Darks in, watched the Leafs lose to the …

The sense that 2004 is the year the Yankees get pounded by the Red Sox is like spreading like blood in water. We got Curt Schilling; A decent guy at second base. I would like to see Vladdy a Bosock (singular?) as well. • I just, however, don't get the move to get A-Rod and trade Nomah …

Watched with my Dad as Canada beat Australia 2-0 in women's soccer this afternoon with 10,066 others here in Kingston. Packed stadium. Sunny Day. Fast, heavy but clean game. The Aussie sweeper, Cheryl Salisbury, was one of the best I have seen but they had no one up-front to make plays like …

Even mildly attentive readers will know I am a fan of certain sports teams. I can't stand NFL or NBA but I love the AL's Red Sox, EPL's Arsenal, SFA's Morton and, perhaps most personal of my loves, the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. I loved them since I bought hockey cards in …
