I’ve just heard that one of my old hockey coaches from when I was a kid, Blair Ashmore, just got married! Mr. Ashmore is 90-years old. Congratulations to him and his new bride!

And to think that if the Washington Capitals hadn’t scored five goals, we would’ve won. 5-1 Caps. But it was only the goalie, the defence, and the forwards who were lousy for the Canadiens on this night. Everyone else was fantastic. Random Notes: I’m not freaking out. Feeling slightly down, that’s all.  Luci’s quite pissed, [...]

Two woman died today, and one in particular I’m grieving for – Annette Funicello. Yes, Margaret Thatcher was the Iron Lady and made her mark as a tough British Prime Minister. But she was no Annette Funicello. Annette was a Mouseketeer in the Mickey Mouse Club when we were enjoying our first television. She was [...]

I’m very proud to show my step-granddaughter Anastasia’s new school picture. The beautiful Anastasia is eight years old and is the daughter of Luci’s son Denis in St. Petersburg, Russia. She’s really, really smart, just like her mom and dad, and is even learning some basic English now.

CBC’s The Irrelevant Show describes nicely the total amount, er, experience of going to an NHL game. This could come in handy for those who’ve never been and would like to know what to expect. This is a radio show, so sit back, put your feet up, and light a stogie. Just click here Thanks [...]

Many people, especially in Canada, will remember actor Bruno Gerussi, star of the popular The Beachcombers television series (shot in Gibsons, BC, just south of where I live). Bruno’s gone now, having joined that big log boom in the sky in 1995, but his memory lives on. Maybe not in this song, where he warbles [...]

This is my stepson Denis’ wife Natasha, wishing you a Happy New Year from Russia. She’s a tremendous gal, smart,(she notched straight A’s throughout university), she spends hours helping daughter Anastasia with school work, and she was as easy going as can be when the bunch of us drove to California last spring. She also [...]
