Ten years ago, Shea and I got married on a beach in the Mayan Riviera during a week long winter holiday as our parents and a handful of other guests looked on. Tomorrow, we leave on a trip to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with a long weekend trip to Winnipeg. Some people would probably […]
I know it’s a Tim Hortons commercial designed to tug the heart strings but it does a good job of summarizing why hockey is so important in the Canadian psyche… And just to reinforce the impression that my blog suddenly has Tim Horton’s sponsorship, a Timbits highlights reel… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0ibfGb_VUA Finally, an old blog post about […]
