I wasn’t sure if I wanted to write about this. Maybe I’ll start writing and see what happens. I just found out yesterday that a cousin of mine killed himself. We didn’t see him very often, but when we did see him, we used to play with him. He was little and we were way …

So Long, Ed Eames. I Never Knew You, But Thank You
The other day, I heard that Ed Eames wasn’t doing well and was probably not going to make it. Now, I’ve heard the news that he’s gone, and I feel like such an idiot for not knowing exactly who he was. I had seen the name in connection with guide dog-related advocacy projects, and knew …

So Long, Captain Lou
While I was busy being sick/screamed at by construction equipment I didn’t get the chance to mention the passing of Captain Lou Albano, who died last week at the age of 76. Sitting here trying to list off all of the Captain’s accomplishments and what he meant to not only the world of wrestling but …
Large Babble-Fest Comin’ Your Way
It’s been a little while since I’ve talked about whatever I wanted without a singular focus, and the mood struck me to do it, so here I am. Mother Nature is a miserly old witch this year. She gave us a short summer, and then, right on schedule, brought the fall! There is something in …
Les Paul, More Dead
I’ll confess, I blatantly swiped that title from aFarkheadline, but it made me laugh, I couldn’t come up with a better one, and it’s not like I’m the first person to ever take their material. Radio folks have been making a living doing that for years, but unlike them I’m man enough to admit it. …

Amazing Grace
I feel like I’ve just been given a slap in the face by fate for entitling this post the way I did. I just found out this morning that my grandma passed away. She’d been sick for a while, and I didn’t know how much longer she’d make it. But it still doesn’t make the …
R.I.P. My Stupid Computer
Well, it’s official. my limping computer can’t limp anymore. It is a large paperweight. Today, it shut off three times while I was trying to click links. The third time, it would not turn on. the other times, I had to reach back and hit the direct power switch that supplied the juice to the …
It’s Not Quite The Same
So Track & Field has finally gotten started in Beijing and I can’t help but notice a rather obvious absence from Team Canada… and it’s not someone you might think. This is the first time in my lifetime that I have sat down to watch an Olympic Games, or really any major Canadian sporting event, …
