Friday Fun Link – Arkanoid, Cosmic Avenger, Wayne Gretzky Hockey II

Pace and I have spent the evening watching YouTube videos of the video games I loved as a kid – here are YouTube videos of three of my all-time favourites:    

Saturday Snap – Hockey’s Back! (And so is beer!)

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When My Football Jacket Still Fit (October 2011)

This photo was taken while going through some old clothes at my parent’s house in October 2011 (which happened to be a point in life where a football jacket I bought a two decades earlier sometime around 1991 still fit – something that’s definitely no longer the case!)

Raptors Parade Highlights in Eight Minutes

Pretty amazing spectacle.  

Saturday Snap – Jurassic Park, Regina

Sasha and I enjoying the Raptors’ championship win on Friday night with ~20,000 of our closest friends! 😉

Friday Fun Link – Raptors Win NBA Chamionship!

I used to be a pretty big basketball fan in high school but admit I’ve gotten away from the game.  But really enjoyed jumping on the bandwagon for the Raptors amazing playoff run that ended last night with them capturing the championship.

Pace and some of his friends trying out the new Raptors Junior Basketball Hoop that he got for his birthday a couple years ago…

The Best Part of the Blues Winning the Stanley Cup Tonight…

…is that I *finally* won the family hockey pool that a BC cousin has been running through regular season and playoffs for, what, ten years? You’d think that with twenty chances, I might have lucked into a win at least once, especially considering that probably more than half the entries are random picks by septuagenarian […]

Kevin Durant on Hot Ones

Lots of controversy about people cheering with Kevin Durant got re-injured during the Raptors game on Monday night. I have to be honest – my initial instinct was to cheer too, for a whole host of reasons: Since he’s one of the Warriors best players and a former two-time playoff MVP, I knew Durant being […]

How The Raptors Became An Elite Team Using Only Non-Lottery Players

  Heading into the big game tomorrow where the Toronto Raptors could clinch their first NBA championship, I found a video that might be helpful to all the new bandwagon fans (er, guilty – though I was a pretty massive NBA fan back in the Michael Jordan/Isiah Thomas/Magic Johnson era of the late 1980’s/early 1990’s) […]
