Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Today, I am reminded of a story. Something that happened a number of years ago, that illustrated to me, for the first time, the sheer stupidity of the human race. I was in highschool, and walking to the bank one day at lunch. I happened to see a guy that I knew, let’s call him … Continue reading Story Time
I know, there are more important world events to discuss right now. But, I wanted to share this article that I found via Mel.
It basically says everything I tried to say in my earlier entry, only much better.
Perhaps after reading this, those earlier commenters who feel that they can legitimately compare the incident to the same thing happening in any other occupation or situation, will grab a firmer grip on reality, and consider WHY the incident happened – not just the aftermath.
I strongly recommend that anyone who’s not a hockey fan or doesn’t understand today’s game very well give this a read. It explains everything that’s wrong in today’s game. Perhaps NHL players should have “STOP” signs on the backs of their jerseys too.
I liked the article so much, in fact, that I’ve posted it in its entirety in the extended entry.
Thoughtful discussion encouraged. Flaming and ignorance can be taken elsewhere.

It’s a hot sunny day, so I did the logical thing. I bought beer instead. I am satisfied with the day’s purchases. Continue reading Shopping
Yah. Cuz I have such an exciting weekend planned. Tonight, I’m gonna make some cabbage rolls, bake muffins, and maybe have a bubble bath. I’ve also been ignoring my books lately, so I hope to make a bit of a dent in them by the end of the weekend. I am a bundle of excitement … Continue reading Excitement’s my Middle Name
Everyone (at least in this fine city) has something to say about the recent Todd Bertuzzi incident. Darren, Mel, Sue & Rog (among others I’m sure I’ve missed), and their commentors, all have their own opinions on what did, should & will happen. I wanted to toss out my few cents on the situation: -Professional … Continue reading Everyone’s a Critic
My hockey team is broken.
4 goals against in well under 2 minutes. And yes, they changed the goalie.
And it’s still the first period.
