Dirt biking thrill

I had a great thrill today. I rode my dirt bike 120KMs on the QEW to visit my Mom for Thanksgiving. My Uncle Dave and his son Nick also brought their dirt bikes to my Mom’s house on the back of their pickup truck. Dave rides a 2000 Kawasaki KX 250cc. Nick rides a 1993 ...

RIP Superman

Superman star Christopher Reeve died on Sunday of heart failure at the young age of 52. In 1995 he had an accident while riding a horse that left him paralyzed. Since then, he has done great work for spinal cord research, and I had always hoped that one day he would walk again, as he ...

Anyone have a gas mask?

I woke up this morning to an unpleasant surprise. Shortly after my alarm went off, still half asleep, I opened my bedroom door and I felt like I walked into a brick wall.

In memory of Rodney Dangerfield

Rodney Dangerfield (Born Jacob Cohen, Nov 22, 1921) passed away yesterday after going into a coma after having heart surgery. Rodney’s humour has always made me laugh.

Hockey results

My first hockey game was a lot of fun. It felt great to get out on the ice for the first time in 5 months or so. We won 2-1. But the interesting part about the night was that I successfully transported my entire hockey equipment on my dirt bike 70kms along the QEW from ...

Hockey season starting

I’m very excited about my hockey season opener this evening in Hamilton. I’ve been off the ice all summer, and I’m looking forward to tying up my skates and getting back out there. Here is the press release from our team’s GM Paulie. He’s a funny guy: (Don’t forget, this is a men’s league hockey ...

North Korea testing the waters

Every few months or so, North Korea will make a statement to try to antagonize the United States. In a news release today, North Korea has claimed that they have turned the plutonium from 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods into nuclear weapons “to serve as a deterrent against increasing U.S. nuclear threats and to prevent ...
