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:
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 […]
I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]
…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 […]
The Flames are out but I’m still watching NHL playoffs, especially with a bunch of games going to game seven and/or overtime which is always exciting. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sequence like the one that happened last night – Vegas Golden Knights leading the San Jose Sharks 3-0 with about ten […]

..which makes the fact that the NHL’s second-best team, the Calgary Flames, lost in *five* games after a disastrous performance tonight only slightly less painful. I guess I’ll always have the regular season. 🙁
I occasionally do a post with my picks at the start of the NHL playoffs. I forgot to do so this year but it’s probably not worth it as quite a few series aren’t going the way I’d expected – my Calgary Flames are struggling after winning the Western Conference title in the regular season, […]
I saw this book in my library today and had a good chuckle. I mean, the Oilers sucked for the first couple years of their existence, they sucked for the last decade plus and they have as many sub-.500% seasons as ones where they’ve won more than they’ve lost. So, at best, it’s maybe 20 […]
