This’ll show Covid! (Fun challenge – pretend you know nothing about this video and watch with the sound off then see if this guy seems at all healthy or well-balanced.)
Free Agency Day in the NHL is normally on July 1 bur with all the Covid weirdness, the date got pushed back to today. The Flames signed Jacob Markstrom, one of the highest rated goalies available which is awesome since my team hasn’t had a true #1 goalie since Miikka Kiprusoff. This is as good […]
It feels like a lot more than a year ago that our offer on a new house was accepted. But the truth is that it was only a year ago this week that it became official. At the time, who knew this new house would become so much more than a slightly newer, slightly bigger, […]

We’re enjoying it but it doesn’t quite reach the level of some of the best shows of all-time – “Breaking Bad”, “The Wire”, “Game of Thrones” – which have similar characteristics (dark, complicated […]
‘Tis the time of year when lawn signs spring from the ground for the provincial, municipal and school board elections (why are school boards elected but not library boards? Topic for a different post I think!) Anyhew, had a chuckle when a neighbour noticed our signs – one clearly for the NDP but the municipal […]
Okay, now that the Stanley Cup’s been awarded and we don’t know if/when NHL hockey will be back, can I, as a Flames fan, admit that I *really* enjoy watching Connor McDavid? I mean, his defense sucks and I hope the Oilers continue to miss the playoffs every year for the next decade. But man, […]
