Collingwood Triathlon 3

I just registered for the Collingwood Triathlon on Saturday, August 6th, 2005 in Collingwood Ontario. The race I entered entails a 800 Meter swim, 32KM bike ride, and an 8KM run. I’m still a triathlon virgin, but very excited, anxious and nervous about trying it. If I enjoy it, I might perhaps enter an Olympic ...

Rougin’ It 3

This weekend was quite a change from my normal life. I went kayaking/camping near Kingston, Ontario. There was a mix-up on Friday night and I wasn’t able to get to the campsite until the morning, so I ended up arriving in Kingston around 12:30AM, went to a bar for 15 minutes, drank two beers and ...

I trekked 50 kilometers today around the city running errands and I encountered many of these anti-cyclist drivers. Let it be known that WE cyclists are doing YOU a favour. There are more ...

Defeated by Mother Nature 6

Mother Nature herself has embarrassingly defeated me. She has employed all of her high powers to conquer me, and I have submissively and without dignity conceded to her higher will. 2 days ago, the temperature was about 14 degrees Celsius. For all you old school chumps or Americans, that’s approximately 58 degrees Fahrenheit. Considerably warm ...

The Legend of Bill Barilko

Since the time I started skating at 3 years old, I have always loved hockey. There are few things (if any) in life that make me as happy as when I’m playing hockey. When I’m out on the ice I never want to leave. Sometimes after my games are over, another team needs a player ...

Tommy Bobble-head

My brother Tom has a bobble head of NHL Goalie Martin Brodeur in his room. It was given to him by his friend a long time ago because it kinda looks like him. Tell me if you think it resembles Tom or not, the picture I posted is a couple years old though. I think ...
