Spring was late, blame the Leafs!

Hello!

We have been lurching back and forth between winter and spring for what seems like an eternity. With this weeks string of sunny warmer days, it would seem that spring has finally won out and kicked old man winter in the butt!

Personally I blame the NHL. With the shortend season, the playoffs are starting about three weeks later than usual, therefore so did spring.

The fact that Hell froze over and the Leafs made the playoffs made it even worse!!! LOL...

Only in Canada does the game of hockey control the seasons.

So now suddenly spring is here and I already feel sooooo far behind. The "to do" list is longer than a bad wedding speech!

The garden beds look a mess, the grass is suddenly ankle deep and I don't have the lawn mower or weed eater tuned up, trim the trees and bushes, the patio needs to be power washed, time to ...

Parents behaving very badly!

WARNING!!! This video contains some language that some my find offensive and should not be viewed if the kids are around!

This weekend, parents at a hockey game in Tweed, Ontario showed us all exactly how NOT to behave when kids are playing hockey, or any sport for that matter.

I post this to hopefully remind us all to act with class and control when attending all youth sporting events and to also show just how ugly and stupid it looks (and sounds!) when parents loss control.

Again, be careful when you watch this. BAD LANGUAGE !

The thing (or thing's) about spring!

It's here, it's here, it's here!

As of 7:02 am on Wednesday March 20th, it is finally spring!

Of course, the arrival of spring is a little different from last year, when it was plus 22 degress out!

Anyways, the good news is we all know that it is only a matter of time before true spring like weather (followed by summer!) is here.

With that in mind, here are some of the things about spring that I am looking forward too.....

 

Sunny Saturday mornings heading off to the soccer pitch to watch my son Alex play

Sitting on the back patio enjoying Sunday morning coffee with my wife Marlene and listening to all the birds.

That first sip of a cold beer after a hot afternoon cutting the grass.

All the garage doors on the street going up, bbq's being lit and the spontaneous street party that breaks out.

Geting up before ...

No score, then what's the point?

It's not quite spring yet, but you can see it from here!

Another sign that it's close, it is time to sign up the kids for soccer, and that is just what I did for my 8 year old son Alex this week.

This will be his 4th year playing, but could be the last year where scores and standings matter.

The Ontario Soccer Association has decided to ban score keeping and standings for all youth divisions 13 and under.

They will try it out in select area's this summer and likely make it province wide within a year or two.

This is one of those things that just makes the circuts in my head start to short out!!!

No scores, no standings...REALLY?!?!?! Then what is the point? The entire concept behind sports ( almost any game really) is to compete and, in the end, have a winner and a loser.

I do not agree ...

Hockey, Heartburn and Hangovers!

Hello

 I truly hope you were able to take advantage of and enjoy the Family day long weekend. The newest long weekend on the yearly calendar and the one that tends to sneak up on us without much fanfare.

 For me and my family, it was all about hockey, hockey and more hockey. Starting Thursday evening, my son Alex and his Novice A team were in the playoffs. My wife Marlene and I along with most of our immediate family and our extended hockey family spent the weekend losing our voice and cheering the kids on! When it was all over, they had hit the ice six times in two and a half days, coming up a bit short and losing in the semi finals.

Oh well, a life lesson, right? You have to learn to lose sometimes too. Congrats to the team from Fort Erie for taking it all.

 Zantac was my best friend over the weekend. Between ...
