Pampered golfing

I have been spoiled a bit this year when it comes to golf.  First of all, I feel I’ve been able to play far more rounds than expected.  And they have been on some nice courses. 2 rounds in particular have been on Clublink courses.  For those of you not familiar with our wedding venue,… Read More »

Sybase Sluggers are on a roll

Since the debacle that I wrote about on June 7th, things have markedly improved.   After discussing with the team the negativity that was abounding, an assertive effort has been made to be eliminate criticism during play and only offer shouts of encouragement.  In addition, the team has a mandate to do a lot more cheering… Read More »

Roger’s Cup

The Roger’s Cup was held this week at the Rexall Centre at York University.   It was the men coming to Toronto this year.  Sonia had premium VIP tickets to go see some of the action on Tuesday but had to decline at the last minute because O.G. was going through the midst of a strept… Read More »

Baseball Pool rant

Early Birthday Thoughts

It’s only 11:00 am but some things that have happened so far: O.G. and me went to the dump to dispose of some yard waste Finished the horseshoe pits – my 1st two throws were ringers – no foolin’ I am convinced that the British Airways commercial enthralls Olivia because she heard the song in… Read More »

Stamps of Sincerity

http://mosleymeetswilcox.com/shop/shopstamps.htm I wonder if they could make one that says:  “Xianglongshibazhang!”

Death to Sudoku!

C’mon everybody give it up.  Ye simpletons need to move onto more adult puzzlers.  Diagramless crosswords are a good start.  Cryptograms are also interesting and difficult.  But the greatest of all these are Acrostics (sometimes called Crostics or Anacrostics).   Infinite enjoyment.  Solve a Bertrand Russell quote using the letters to solutions of complex crossword clues. … Read More »
