In response to this morning’s posting, Dave did waaaaaay too much work sifting through my old blog postings not to use one of his suggestions for a new blog title. And seeing as how I just sliced the hell out of my thumb making dinner tonight, I laughed my ass off at the thought of […] →Read more
As you can tell from the top the screen, my blog kinda needs a new name. I’ve never been good at naming things. As a kid, I had a stuffed bunny rabbit named Bunny, a stuffed frog named Froggy, a stuffed puppy dog named Puppy, and, believe it or not, a stuffed penguin named Pengy1. […] →Read more
Dear Every Other Driver on Highway 1 in the Pouring Rain Last Night, That space between me and the car in front of me is there for a reason. And the reason is not that you can zoom into said space at a high rate of speed and then slam on your brakes because, lo […] →Read more
For years, I’ve been using a visor on my hockey helmet that doesn’t fit properly1. In fact, I’ve been using it since I started playing hockey almost 5 years ago. It was a handy-me-down from my ex – he didn’t like playing with a full face shield, so got himself a half visor and I […] →Read more

Which is unfortunate for my local Home Hardware, who had a sign proudly announcing: Not unlike […] →Read more

Instead, I get three photos of me limping along, looking all sorry for myself. In happier news, my foot now feels 100% better. It […] →Read more

So I come home from Third Tuesday last night and, realizing that a Bellini and a few nachos do not a dinner make1, I decide to cook some pizza. Now, since I lack a proper oven mitt2, I took the pizza out of the oven using a dish towel. A very thin dish towel. And […] →Read more
My recap of last night’s Canucks game: Taylor Pyatt scored after a beautiful shot by Brad Isbister hit the post, bounced off of Taylor and went into the net. A Pyatt–Isbister double team – it’s like my dream come true! Then some other stuff happened, but we don’t need to talk about that. In other […] →Read more
