So this week marks the second time in my life that I’ve been living in a city that’s enjoying a run to the championship by a local professional sports team (the Blue Jays’ World Series victories in 1992 & 1993, though memorable, didn’t quite feel the same.) In 2004, Shea and I were in Calgary […]

Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing.

Personally, I think organizers may have hurt themselves right off-the-bat by creating a sport with a circular field, very unique […]
…but I’d much prefer a half-time show like this one: Here’s a Today show report on how they do it (hint: there’s (even) an app for that!) (Oh, and full credit to my lovely and way-more-witty-than-I-am wife for that Hedley joke in the title of this post!)
