dewline: A marker of my age and my sports interest (hockey)
Well, our team got as far as they could. This time.

Perfect South Park ending to this series, I suspect, would be for the Jays and Dodgers to jointly storm the White House and turn the Vulgarian and his various accomplices over to the Hague.

Your opinions will, I expect, differ from mine.

Commiserating with my fellow Jays fans this morning in any case...and now we get on with the CFL playoffs and the NBA, WNBA, NHL and PWHL regular seasons, right?

So.

It's on, one more time.

I only saw Mrs. Furlan in person once, at San Diego, just as Babylon 5 was getting going. And that, from across a standing-room only hall. Her work on-screen was nonetheless stellar, in the best sense, in the role of Delenn.

I never got to see Mr. Aaron, but I read the Peanuts strip with Snoopy standing in for Mr. Aaron, taking his own share of hate mail as a fictional beagle on his own quest to break Babe Ruth's record, and later learned the fuller story. Mr. Schulz was clearly a fan of Mr. Aaron, from what I saw in print.

Two people worthy of respect. Now both gone.

Let that baseball team rebrand themselves as the Capes.

Why?

Because that city is where Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first created the Superman franchise in its earliest form.

"The Cleveland Capes".

How does it sound?

Remember I mentioned the other day about the situation re: Ottawa Stadium and the Fat Cats?

Well, have a gander at this:

I think the Fat Cats just got told to move or disband. Not happy with this.
