Well, this past weekend we saw the throngs of people by the thousands descend on my beloved neighbourhood. All in all it was a successful fest with the unwelcome arrival of rain on Saturday night. It just so happened that was the one night that the missus and I had decided to make a night [...]
I have to be frank. I’m stunned at the reaction of evacuees, at least according to the media, arriving in Cyprus. I have not heard this much bitching and moaning since I dumped my ex-girlfriend. People, this wasn’t a pleasure cruise. There seems to be a massive disconnect with the Canadian citizens that are being [...]
I have a beef with the drivers in our fair city. What in the fcuk ever happened to the simple courtesy wave? You know, when you’re in heavy traffic and the kindly old lady in the landau roof next to you wants to merge because some honk has parked where they shouldn’t during rush hour. [...]
OK, we all hate the jackass that asks that question. But, damn it is freakin hot in the city, hot in the city tonight. There is an extreme heat alert issued in Toronto and that means there are cooling stations set up around the city. If you know of shutins or elderly that may have [...]
I am fully convinced of it now. The traffic in Toronto is getting out of hand. It’s bad enough that drivers forget how to drive when there is a little bit of rain on the roads. But, today as I was driving along at a max speed of 20 km while blankly watching the vanity [...]
I may be hallucinating (truth be told that would be more fun) but, I could swear that the traffic on my morning commute across the Gardiner seems to be getting worse. I used to leave around 7:30 am to get to work in good time. Now, I find I have to leave by 7 am [...]
Well, I can’t say I was happy with the result but, the Italians have won the FIFA World Cup. Congrats to them. Sadly, it was the French that handed the game to Italy. What the hell was Zidane thinking with that head butt? And I’m very curious as to what caused him to do something [...]
The Big E is trying to not get shipped out by the Toronto Maple Leafs. The star-powered forward has fallen on tough times from an injury perspective. At 33 years old and having suffered more head injuries than a bus tour going off a cliff, he’s become a bit of a liability. Don’t get me [...]
This is a sad day for Jazz lovers in Toronto. The oldest remaining jazz club shuttered today after 25 years in the same location at the corner of Sherbourne and Adelaide. I have seen some great acts there over the years and I’m sorry to see this club go. Customers found out about the closure [...]
