Belated NHL Playoff Predictions

Each year at the start of the NHL playoffs, I usually do my predictions for the first round.  (I miss the old playoff system when you could see the entire playoff brackets all the way through instead of the new system where seeding can impact who plays who each round.)  So yeah, even knowing the […]

Saturday Snap – Just Kicking It

I haven't done any freelance writing (the kind that pays anyhow!) for quite awhile but through an old high school friend who works in magazine publishing, recently ended up with an assignment to write a profile of a world champion female kick boxer who happens to work in my hometown.  I did the interview at […]

Friday Fun Link – Winter Olympics Begin (February 12, 2010)

Not sure if you heard but apparently the Wet & Rainy Olympics are in Canada this year and the opening ceremonies are tonight.  The Olympics are once again a lightning rod of controversy and having them on our own doorstep has perhaps brought this home in a way that doesn't happen when they're in Italy […]
