See you soon

Sorry folks, there won't be any blogging happening here for a while. My mom passed away this morning, so I'm off to Ontario. Take care!

Thursday Cheers and Jeers

It's Super Bowl week, so hopefully - for those of us who cheer for a certain Wisconsin-based team - there's more cheering than jeering going on!

Cheers

• Aaron Rodgers. The Packers' quarterback is handling his first (of many?) Super Bowl experience with class and (especially during Media Day) an infinite amount of patience.
• Harvard Property Management. Granted, being booted out of my paid parking spot isn't ideal, but at least they offered me a reasonable alternative. Things could be worse.
• Regina Minor Football and the Regina Thunder. The two organizations combined forces to put on an informative coaching clinic last weekend.
  

Jeers

• Super Bowl Media Day. Is it really necessary to ask the Packers' current quarterback 5,075 questions about the Packers' former quarterback? It's been three years. Let's all move on.
• Ontario. Seriously, when did my home province become overrun by wimps? A little snow and everything shuts down? Sad.
• The Pittsburgh Steelers. No explanation required.

Has anyone impressed/depressed you lately? Share with the rest of us, if you please!

A definite football theme to this week's show, but what else would you expect for Super Bowl week? We're preempted by curling tonight, so the show will only air Thursday at 6 p.m. Damn shame, really!
