Good morning snow covered friends. And good morning as well to those of you that aren’t watching snow flakes dance in the wind.
I’m having flash back moments to my childhood right now talking about the old cartoons that our generation used to watch. It all started with that $35 He-Man collectible that I saw at Silver Snail on Queen St E.
Here’s a quick list of the classics that I can think of.
-He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
-Thundercats
-Transformers
-Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels
-The Care Bears
-Duck Tales
-Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
-Tailspin
-The Gummi Bears
-The Raccoons, etc.
The list goes on and on of course. And I’m interested to hear what classics got everybody else out of bed on Saturday mornings.
Last night was a good night to be a sports fan. I know that I say that a lot, but last night it was especially true. Yesterday was Major League Baseball’s true opening day. I know that there was that one game on Sunday night, but yesterday was the real deal. And I’m jealous and proud to say that E-ve was in the 500 level of the Rogers Centre to watch Roy Halladay and the Blue Jays pound their way to a 12-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. I watched on TV and it wasn’t a particularly pretty game but a win is a win. Big congratulations to Adam Lind for driving in a career high 6 runs last night and being the current MLB leader in the RBI category.
Side note: Last night in the 8th inning the Tigers manager Jim Leyland pulled his players from the field and there was a 10-15 minute delay in the game. It happened because some of the fans at the Rogers Centre were throwing things on to the field. E-ve tells me that she saw an empty mickey of Vodka, paper airplanes, and baseballs. Unacceptable my friends. I love having a good time as much as the next guy does, and I have no problem with a beach ball or two making it on to the field, but come on people, nobody needs to get hurt. Thank you.
Also last night I was able to brag and be a little bit of a jerk to friends about my UNC Tar Heels winning the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. It was a big win over a Michigan State team that was supposed to be fueled by destiny. But sometimes in sports, destiny just can’t compete with talent.
Congratulations to coach Roy Williams on winning his second national title. And congratulations to the players. These guys took a lot of heat for being the best (kind of like the Yankees, when they were the best) and now they can look back 20 years from now and tell their kids that they were the best in the country. North Carolina Powder Blue was a man’s colour last night!
Big ups to Lady Antebellum for being our new myspace friend, and for having an amazingly catchy, sweet and harmonious hit with “I run to you”.
And I am admitting right here, right now, that Lady Gaga may have the catchiest pop tunes in the world right now.
That’s all for today folks. Enjoy the day, it’s Tuesday, which means it could be worse… it could be Monday.
