Winter Olympics Churning Out More Drama Than a Spanish Soap Opera

February 24th, 2010 Eric

Things are getting pretty exciting as the Olympics continue to roll on.  Being Canadian, it is no surprise that hockey is at the forefront of much of the media attention.

The Canadian team lost to the US in the opening round and I think that I speak for everyone when I say that it was disappointing.  The US has a great team and they played well but the difference was Ryan Miller in the US goal.  He stood on his head for the win. Read more…

Vancouver is hosting the winter Olympics at the moment and while there have been a few glitches, I’ve been impressed with everthing so far.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Nobody could have written a better script for the first few days of competition.  Let me set the stage for you.  No Canadian has ever won a gold medal on Canadian soil.

Funny Halloween Story

November 1st, 2009 Eric

stanley_spitfireDaredevil pup Stanley attracts more than a few stares when he goes for a ‘walk’ in his miniature Spitfire. Passers-by might think the four month old wire-haired fox terrier is crazy, but he loves donning his flying hat, goggles and jacket for a spin reports the Metro.

Owners Phil and Sharon Cook, both in their 40s, mocked up the miniature plane for a Halloween party, but Stanley enjoyed it so much that they can be seen trundling around the streets near their home in Leigh, Essex. Mrs Cook added, ‘Stanley loves it. We decided to go for a Spitfire as a nod towards Remembrance Day. He is content to sit in the cockpit and watch the world go by.’

The plane is made from an old holdall attached to a skateboard, while Stanley’s flying hat is fashioned from an old cuddly toy.
