Ever wonder why seniors are so cranky? Well, we have reasons other than regretting our misspent youth. That’s so far in the past, shrouded in the rose coloured mists of time we generally only remember the goods bits. No – crankiness pretty much revolves around current events aggravated no doubt […]

Thank you to those who reached out wondering why I missed a week of Moos. I didn’t! It was the long weekend, so I decided to write my column on Monday night. It is never early when I do it but was all proud to have it completed since short […]

There’s still a few hockey fans who can turn personal clocks back to Bobby Orr…Phil Esposito…the big, bad Boston Bruins. It was a dominant powerhouse, fuelled principally by the arrival of the phenomenal young defenceman from Parry Sound. It was a team for the ages, a team that would win […]
The sixth event of the Bassmaster Elite Series season took place this past weekend at Pickwick Lake, Tennessee, our last southern event of the nine tournament season. After a decent start to the season, my goal heading into this tournament was to try and make the day three cut and […]
I had the lucky opportunity to visit with two of my grandchildren recently, a five-day immersion into chaos, a bit like Survivor but without the chance to win the immunity idol. They are busy boys, with an all-in attitude for living, with no self-preservation gene. There is only one speed […]

I am not quite sure how long ago this was now, but Wendy Judson tracked me down and asked me if I would consider sitting on the Riverside Foundation Board. She was looking to step down and wanted to have someone from Emo continue on the board. I thought about […]

Whether I’m guiding or out on the tournament trail, I have to catch fish to get paid and avoid having to get a real Monday to Friday gig. Don’t get me wrong, I work hard to stay busy throughout the year but my main sources of income are fishing tournaments […]
It must be a long time ago, but the number of people at sports events used to be important. In every Canadian Press story the attendance was required reporting, as much as the score was. Always. Maybe the size of the crowd was not always exact, but it was always […]
