26sharesAside from losing the “g” on my work laptop, things around the office have been pretty uneventful lately. Gus’ conversation with Dell support about the “g” that keeps popping off on me was rather amusing but aside from that, it’s business as usual. It’s before one of our big seasons and there are no stat […]

17sharesI pay close attention to the Canucks. I watch their games, I blog about them on occasion and I co-host a podcast where we talk about the team, weekly. Another thing I pay attention to is the guys themselves. Yeah, yeah I’m not a puck bunny but I am female and these boys are in […]

He worked for Conn Smythe’s [wiki] cement company before starting up his own burger joints and eventually the donut […]

17sharesIt’s something everyone West of Thunder Bay has come to accept, Toronto is the centre of the Canadian universe.

10sharesSweet, sweet number 16. Dave is a healthy scratch for this recording as the rest of us gathered together to record another episode.
