Good morning kids.
I hope that you're all well.
Isn't it great to be almost done a short week at work? And you know what's even better? I have a short week coming up again!
The countdown is super short now until Ottawa for Jake's bday. I'm jazzed.
The countdown is even shorter for NFL football which kicks off tonight. That's exciting. Very exciting.
I'm also hoping that I made good picks, because winning some of the money in the office pool would be sweet.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love coffee? I should, I love it!
I also love beer, but not at the same time.
And bacon, but bacon goes with everything.
Thumbs down to the Blue Jays for sucking hardcore last night against the Rangers. Not a good game of baseball from the hometown 9.
Thumbs up to less than 1 month before NHL regular season puck drop. Excite!
I hafta get back to it friends, but have a great day.
Also, I'm taking New Orleans over the Vikings tonight.
Like wham.

Friday Morning Musings - It's Here Edition
Hey y'all.
I hope that you've all managed to get here safely.
Here's hoping that Wing Night went well for E-ve and her co-workers last night.
The weekend is so close I can taste it. In fact, I can almost taste the beer that is going to be downed back home this weekend at 2 separate bachelor parties.
That's going to be a gong show.
Scary moment last night as Anthony Calvio of the Montreal Alouettes was carted off the field and taken to the hospital after falling hard.
Big ups to everyone who has stopped back in and given me another chance. I know that I was away for a long time.
If you're on Twitter lemme know you're handle so that I can give you a follow.
We are now less than 50 days away from the start of the NHL regular season. How great is that?
That's my happy thought for the day.
Stay well my friends. Be awesome like I know you all are.
Have a great weekend.
Like wham.

Saturday Morning Musings, Jays vs Rangers Edition
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, readers of all ages, Happy Saturday!
Big smiling love to my E-ve. She's got a long shift ahead of her today. I wish for excellent tippers with positive attitudes and good manners. X's and O's.
Just finished watching some Glee on demand. That's right, I said it. I love that show. I just watched the episode with Ice Ice Baby, Can't Touch This, Physical and Total Eclipse of the Heart. All of the numbers were well done and make me wanna sing.
The Blue Jays and Rangers go at this afternoon at the Rogers Centre. The Jays won a slugfest last night. Pounding out 15 hits, including 5 home runs, on their way to a 16-10 win. That's a lot of scoring.
And while the Jays and Rangers were trading blows last night the Flyers and Bruins were vying for the 2nd spot in the NHL's Eastern Conference Finals.
The Bruins were winning the series 3 games to none and looked like the easy favourite to move on. But the Flyers came back. And last night in game 7 the Bruins took a 3-0 lead and again looked like the easy favourite to move on. But the Flyers came back again to win 4-3 and win the series.
So, the Flyers will now host the Canadiens on Sunday night at 7 to open the ECF. The Flyers have a tough defensive corps and some physical forwards, but I still believe in my Habs.
Today has been a coffee and writing day so far. I have a feeling it will continue along those lines as the day goes on.
Called and left a message for Mommy Z this morning so maybe I'll talk to her today.
Less than 1 week til Jake and Romeo are here.
Podcast will return to work then.
Have a great day friends.

Friday Morning Musings, Spacek On Booth, Messy But Legal Edition
Howdy kids.
I'm a sleepy boy but I'm gonna get something pounded out here.
Big lovin' to E-ve. We had a great date and hang-out on Wednesday that melted into Thursday. Dinner worked well, beer was a tasty treat, we made fun of each other just enough to make sure it was funny and even snuck a nap in there. Great times had by all.
Tally whoa!
Also, huge thank you to E-ve for supplying me with cold meds yesterday morning. They worked great and I was silly not to get more when I was out.
She even rocked some Veronica Mars with me, much to my delight.
Side note: high fives to @residentmoron for having great taste in TV shows and loving Veronica Mars as well.
Big time win for the Habs last night against the Panthers. It was much needed as the games remaining tick down and the race for the play-offs heats up.
Scary moment in the game as Jaro Spacek hit Florida's David Booth hard as he crossed the blue line. Booth had his head down and met Spacek's shoulder in a violent, physical, big league body check. However, whereas most hits in the NHL end with the player getting up and skating away, this one didn't. David Booth lay on the ice before being helped to the dressing room. The probable reason is that Booth suffered a severe concussion earlier this season after a late, blind side head shot delivered by Mike Richards of the Flyers. In fact, that hit was one of the main reasons that the new blind side/ back pressure, head shot rule has been rushed into the NHL rule book. Once anyone has suffered a concussion it becomes much easier for them to suffer subsequent concussions and that may have been the case with David Booth last night. He was taken to a Montreal hospital for tests and surveillance but was said to be coherent and responsive. All of my best wishes go out to David Booth and his family as he recovers from last night's hit.
And a note to anyone on a witch hunt for someone to punish under the new rule, Jaro Spacek will not be the first to be suspended. He did not break that rule. It was a good, strong, clean hockey check that had an unfortunate outcome. That is all.
Happy Friday to all of you by the way. How could I forget.
And happy Friday especially to Heath and I as we have tickets to see the Raptors play (get slaughtered by) the Nuggets. We're hoping for either a big Raptors win, which is much needed, or a 50 point night from Carmelo Anthony.
I've done a whole pile of writing in the last few days. It's felt good. I'm enjoying it. And there's some good stuff coming from it I think.
If you caught my link to Romeo's blog the other day you saw his idea for a podcast with Jake and I. It's an interesting idea that I'm sure comes from the laughs Romeo gets from Kevin Smith's SModcast and if it comes to pass I promise to warn you about language and subject matter.
I can feel my stomach grumbling which means I should either get some cereal or a granola bar I suppose.
For those of you in Toronto be prepared for lots of news moving forward with regards to the TTC's decision to put up safety barriers at subway stations. There were a reported 18 suicide attempts on subway platforms last year and the support for the barriers has been overwhelming, but funding still needs to be found.
I think that's all for today friends. I hope that today is good, tonight is great and the weekend in better.

Friday Morning Musings, Roll Up The National Anthem To Win Edition
Good day my friends.
I apologize for my lack of being here lately. I've been trying to keep the Twitter feed updated a little, but other stuff has been in the way.
Big love to my biggest fan E-ve who reminded me that I've been slipping. She's also a pretty awesome person with some homemade oatmeal raisin cookies waiting ready for her breakfast this morning. Xoxo.
- Habs lost in San Jose after a great game by Carey Price and a stupid cheap shot hit by Max LaPierre. Not impressed Max, probable suspension coming from the NHL today.
- Blue Jays won! That's right. The Blue Jays, my boys of summer, are now playing their exhibition schedule and knocked off the Tigers 9-7 yesterday afternoon.
- Last work day before the Oscars. Make sure that you get your picks in for the office pool. Good luck.
- Cyndi Lauper has been announced as the headlining act for 2010's Toronto Gay Pride Festival. She will be playing a free concert during the week and represents a new addition to the already huge and amazing week that Toronto and the Pride committee put together every year.
- The weather is getting warmer in Toronto my friends. They are calling for a high of 4 today, 8 tomorrow and 9 on Sunday. And it's only the 1st week of March. Maybe this summer won't be so blah as last year.
- Roll up the Rim is indeed now back and I'm sure that you already knew that. But here's what I want to mention. There has to be a better way. Tim Hortons needs to become greener. I know that to most of us in Canada see Tim's as an institution and may be more adverse to change with them than we are about the national anthem (more on that later) but change is needed. I have a reusable mug and so does E-ve but if you use it you don't get to be 1 of the lucky few who roll after finishing their coffee and hope to win. Le sigh. I wrote about this last year too. Maybe I'll dust that piece off.
- The government has started debating whether or not the lyrics to Oh Canada should be changed to become gender neutral. Now, if this were the USA we would just have a prop amendment on an election ballot and that would be it. But here it's all up to the folks representing us in the House. If you think it's crazy, maybe send a quick email to your member to let them know it's fine the way it is.
- I need to buy lottery tickets and win a jackpot. Just saying.
- Slept better than Wednesday night, but still not enough. Perhaps a mid-morning nap before I tackle my day.
- Keep smiling and high fiving and being great out there kids.
I think that's all for today.
Have a good one.

Friday Morning Musings, Cereal And Movies Edition
Hey there kiddies.
Welcome to Friday. The day most of you have been waiting for all week. I hope it's been great so far and keeps getting better.
Best wishes to E-ve for a good lunch shift after a crazy Wing Night at the restaurant yesterday.
Also, get well soon thoughts out to E-ve's mom. Healthy and happy is always the goal.
There were a ton of fights in the NHL last night. I don't know if there was something in the air or if the planets were aligned differently or something, but there was a lot of the rough stuff.
Hoping that Heath has a great weekend in Ottawa and gets some hang out time with Jake and Romeo and the gang. I hear he's staying with Romeo, I'm sure there will be cuddles.
I'm a wee bit emo. I'm sorry to everyone that's in that shadow. Hope it goes away soon.
Finished my Kevin Smith SModcast book yesterday. Lines were crossed, laughs were had, good times for everyone. When I get a computer I'll have hundreds of hours to download and listen to.
Thinking that I'm gonna have to crack into the cereal here in a few minutes. Food is your friend.
Trying to figure out what movies/ TV shows I'm gonna watch today. Ideas welcome.
"Keep on woking in the free world."
I think that's all for now mes amis. Have a great day and start your weekend right.

Wednesday Morning Musings, Day Off To Nap Edition
Bonjour friends.
High fives to everyone for making it to Wednesday. It ain't always that easy.
Big ups to E-ve for being the awesome and planning on coming over for a hang out today. Maybe movies, maybe a nap, maybe I'll kick her ass at Scrabble. Who knows.
I've just eaten cereal for my last 2 meals in a row. Tasty. Blueberry Muffin Mini-Wheats and Nesquik are both pretty yummy. But I'm thinking maybe when lunchtime comes I should eat something more substantial.
I feel a nap coming on. Maybe in preparation for Scrabble.
Gaborik came through with another 4 points last night in a big Rangers win. Dude is leading my week with 7 points in 2 games so far. And then there are Heatley and Thorton who have 3 combined points in 2 games that have seen their team score 14 goals. Are you kidding me?!
Jake has just informed me that his day may even be lazier than mine. Mostly because I am fully dressed.
I'm not sure I'm digging the new cable menu thing.
Best wishes for a settled tummy to E-ve. She's a trooper.
It's Habs game day. And I'm hoping for a win because the last 2 loses have been pretty friggin' awful. I don't really care what happens, I just want a W.
Remember to tell your mother than you love her. No matter if it's in prayer, in person, by email or over the phone. Don't forget.
Ellen is wearing plaid and I keep wondering if she's breaking or extending stereotypes. Either way, I lurve her.
I think that's all for today's day off edition.
Have a goodie.

Sunday Morning Musings, Trivial Pursuit And The Raptors Win Edition
Good day y’all.
It’s a grey and mild Sunday in Toronto, but I hope there’s some sunshine in your life wherever you are.
Big ups to E-ve as she prepares herself for Trivial Pursuit this evening. I have extreme faith in her ability to run the field with her knowledge of pretty much everything.
I’m not trying to stop anyone from playing Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble with E-ve, but it’s a tough go if you try. I’ll stick to sports trivia and things of that ilk.
In other game news, it’s a Killer Bunnies evening in Ottawa. Good luck to everyone in the battle for the winning carrot.
Karaoke was fun last night. As I mentioned on Twitter, my 2nd song was too big for me in the end. I did too much singing along, and I blame the shot of rye for me not being able to do justice to Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dyin’. The last big long note was just a little too much.
I also realized that Glee has had a huge impact because when Sweet Caroline and Don’t Stop Believin’ came on all I could think about was those damn kids doing a fantastic job with the music.
I also received my first birthday gift of the year, which was unexpected and pretty cool. A wooden baseball bat, much like the ones I had when I was a kid. It feels perfect in my hands and reminds me of days gone by.
The late night street car ride home was packed with people that must have had a great time last night because it was loud and busy.
I had a good quick visit with E-ve before I went home to change to go out last night too. We had some Tim Hortons and chit chat. I was out of it a bit from working which didn’t make me great company, but she makes me a happy dude. I’m lucky.
Sad faces as mes Canadiens lost 4-2 last night to Ottawa. It wasn’t a great effort by les boys. And it underscores the fact that Montreal scores fewer goals per game than any other team in the NHL.
Happy faces as the Toronto Raptors are minutes away from a big home win against the Dallas Mavericks. These are games that are big to win because they give us the opportunity to beat bad teams and climb the standings instead of just treading water.
Time to wrap it up for the day. It’s a short work day and we’ve got basketball, hockey and football to watch.
Have a great day.

Hey there everyone.
Happy Saturday morning to you all.
Well wishes and positive thoughts to E-ve’s mom who had a rough go last night. I hope that a new day brings better things.
And big ups to E-ve for being an amazing and helpful daughter. And also for complimenting me heartily on the cake that I made for her. It made me smile big when she said all of the nice things that she did. She’s totally the awesome.
I’m a little sad today because the TV at work is broken and there is play-off football that I will be missing. Sad faces.
Just finished up the picks for my hockey pool. I feel pretty good about them. I didn’t have a great week ending yesterday, but I beat my boss and Alex Ovechkin saved my bacon with his performance against the Maple Leafs last night.
My line-up for this week looks like this:

Kovalchuk, Ilya ATL
Heatley, Dany SJ
Thornton, Joe SJ
Gaborik, Marian NYR
Richards, Brad DAL
Byfuglien, Dustin CHI
Defensemen:
Robidas, Stephane DAL

Tyutin, Fedor CBJ
Keith, Duncan CHI
Goaltenders:
Nabokov, Evgeni SJ
Smith, Mike TB
Cross your fingers for me friends.
Listening to music this morning in prep for some karaoke tonight. Am old friend is in town to see RENT and we’re gonna have a hang out and hello and turn on the microphone… I should start picking song ideas now.
I’ve got a little bit of a head ache. I hope that coffee helps. If not I may have to try something more drastic.
I’m all the way up to 4 friends on Facebook since I opened the page. Remember that you can find me there now. Smiles.
I’ve got a piece almost ready for the Longer Form Musings today. I’ve already touched on the subjust here today, so don’t be surprised when it posts and you see it. http://www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com/
What is everyone else doing this weekend? Let me know. Share your awesome stories. Don’t be shy.
Gotta run, lots to do, well some to do, ok not a whole lot to do, but I’ll find something.

Listening to music this morning in prep for some karaoke tonight. Am old friend is in town to see RENT and we’re gonna have a hang out and hello and turn on the microphone… I should start picking song ideas now.
I’ve got a little bit of a head ache. I hope that coffee helps. If not I may have to try something more drastic.
I’m all the way up to 4 friends on Facebook since I opened the page. Remember that you can find me there now. Smiles.
I’ve got a piece almost ready for the Longer Form Musings today. I’ve already touched on the subjust here today, so don’t be surprised when it posts and you see it. http://www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com/
What is everyone else doing this weekend? Let me know. Share your awesome stories. Don’t be shy.
Gotta run, lots to do, well some to do, ok not a whole lot to do, but I’ll find something.
Like wham!

Wednesday Morning Musings, New Blog And An Idea Needed Edition
Bonjour friends.
Here’s hoping that Wednesday has started well and will continue along the same lines for all of you.
E-ve’s already at work rocking her section, so here’s hoping that she picking up some solid tips and smiles.
I started a new blog yesterday at www.thelongformmusings.blogspot.com the plan is to use it when I have things that I want to write about for more than just a few lines. There’s a start up piece there now about what I want to do this year and there’s already one other piece that is partly written. I’m excited that I’ve started this one to go along with the musings here. It’s like a sister blog. Good times.
Yesterday marked the end of a career for NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph. Dude had a long stay in the league with 19 seasons played and is 4th on the all-time wins list in the history of the game. But the question that is taking over the internet, TV and radio shows is whether or not he belongs in the Hall of Fame. I think the answer is yes. It’s true that he doesn’t have his name on the Stanley Cup, but dude won a lot of games in the regular season. He also won a lot of games in the play-offs with teams that weren’t supposed to get wins. The Oilers, Blues and Maple Leafs can all attest to that fact. In the end it’s not up to me, but I think that CuJo should be a member of the Hall.
Last night was a Chuck free night on TV, and without it I was disappointed. I watched NCIS, a few hockey highlights and then put on Star Trek before bed. The movie holds up on the 4th watch, and the special features and gag reel were pretty good too.
It’s not as cold today compared to the last few days… and they say that it’s going to get above 0 before the end of the week. I’m excited!
I opened my big mouth and told E-ve that I could do some baking. So now I’m bouncing ideas off of co-workers and trying to come up with something tasty and creative and awesome. Wish me luck.
I’ve had Taylor Swift’s “15” stuck in my head. It’s not a bad song or anything, but it’s starting to drive me a little bit crazy.
Big ups to everyone everywhere just because everyone deserves some love.
Have a great day everyone.

Saturday Morning Musings, First Muse Of The New Year Edition
Good morning mes amis.
I hope that the new year has started well for each and every one of you.
One quick thing before I really start. I saw a Facebook status that said something along the line of, Happy New Year to all of my friends, and everyone else can go F themselves. I think that’s absolutely terrible. I know this person and there are a lot of people that don’t especially care for her personality… so there are many people that aren’t her friend. I would personally like to wish all of those people a happy new year.
And now, my thank you’s need to be handed out.
Thank you to E-ve for a great NYE. Dinner was tasty and the company was lovely. Champagne was a great touch and our Christmas wine was a nice treat.
Also, thank you for my Christmas presents. I have been waiting years for Band of Brothers and now I have it. I have a feeling that there will soon be a marathon at my apartment.
This is the first muse of 2010 and as such it should be special. But really, I don’t know how to make it any more special than any of 2009’s posts were.
Thank you to everyone that has popped in to read during our first 280 something posts and I hope that you will all stick with us as we pass 300 and 400 and 500 during this year.
Thank you to everyone at the NHL that put together the 3rd annual Winter Classic at Fenway Park yesterday. The event was fun to watch from start to finish. I personally thought that singing Sweet Caroline during the 3rd period was a great touch. A lot of hockey fans didn’t seem to think so, but I believe that you have to embrace the tradition of the venue and city that you are using for special events.
The only true downside I saw was Daniel Powter singing the Canadian national anthem before the game. I did think that it was a nice touch for the NHL to have the anthem represented even though there wasn’t a Canadian team in the game, but Powter did a bad job. And the way he was moving around and such while he was singing made him look like a douche.
Confession: E-ve and I both napped through part of the game.
I’m hyped for the Raptors game tonight against the Boston Celtics because if we win it will mean a 6 game win streak. And our chances of winning are good because Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo won’t be playing in the game.
It is friggin’ cold in the city today. Like -27 with the wind chill factor. Bundle up if you’re out in the sunshine today.
I think that’s all for now my friends. I hope that you have a great day.
