Apparently it’s been a big problem in Italy with historical ties to superstition and death. Italian men like to grab their fellas when a hearse drives by as a method of warding off the grim reaper. Whatever. John went on to predict that such a law would probably find its way to North America, and that concerns me. Can you imagine having to be always conscious of touching your gems? There are so many things that come into play, underwear, sweat, hair and chafing. Size plays a part as well. A guy with a shorty that sticks straight out must go crazy having his pecker head take the full brunt of day to day life. And what about guys who’ve been cursed with a big fella? It’s not all its cracked up to be and to think occasional adjustments would become unlawful is downright ridiculous and scares the shit out of me because it would seriously affect my bocce game.

He was extremely positive for a guy who to my mind should have been extremely frustrated. I thought wow, the guy’s good looking, he’s got endless talent, but he’s blind, it must drive him nuts. You never got that impression from Healey who not only lived with his handicap, but he spit in its eye and became one of Canada’s foremost blues and jazz musicians. Yesterday, at St. Joseph’s hospital, the cancer that took Jeff’s eyesight before his first birthday, finally took his life. I’m sure the tributes will poor in today from people that who are a lot more qualified than I am, so I won’t go that way with this piece. Instead I’ll question how one person is chosen to suffer so much pain. Jeff Healey enjoyed a successful career and was loved by millions, but he had to deal with things that most of us can’t begin to appreciate. Imagine being blind as child, overcoming the handicap to become an exceptional musician, then to be cruelly cut down by a vicious disease before your 42nd birthday. I’m sure if given a choice Healey would have traded his success for just one glimpse of his wife and two children. In situations like this I really wonder about who makes these decisions. I’m not much of a believer. I’d like to believe, I want to believe, it would be nice to believe. But when it comes to situations like Jeff Healey’s, I can’t believe.

Chicken Shwarma Junior March 3, 2008 @ 08:48
I got a nice note from Jeff Domet yesterday, announcing the birth of his second child, a boy named Ryan Christopher. Jeff is also known as Chicken Shwarma from his days working with us at the Edge. Mother Michelle and child are doing well, but I know Jeff, although bursting with pride yesterday he must have had a heavy heart. Ryans middle name came from Shwarma’s beloved brother Chris who like Jeff Healy was cut down by cancer long before his time. Congratulations everybody! Category: Friends
One Hour In Hornby March 3, 2008 @ 08:47
It was a farm house at the end of a long lane and I was greeted by five great guys, a nice young woman and a three legged dog. The dog gave me shit, Laurend gave me smart food and the guys, Chris, Wayne, Brian, Jamie and Dave gave me beer - although they weren't too happy with having to buy Bud Lite. If you've got an hour to burn, check it out.

To dissect and name would take too long, but thanks to their incompetence it can be summed up rather easily with four numbers. 1967. But of all the screwy things they’ve done, this has to rank right up there with the worst. Leaf management has ordered all reference to Bill Watters be taken out of the ACC because they think he’s too critical of them on his radio show. None of the posters or banners or billboards that referenced the Watters show inside the building had anything critical written on them, it was just promotional material, but the powers that be, and you know who that is, decided they should be removed. It’s the usual buck-passing, MLSE claims it was a decision makes by “marketing people”, but that’s a load of hooey. I’m sure it was made by a few incompetents at the top who can’t stand to be criticized. In a way, this is a mild form of communism. Stifle the critic by snuffing the messenger, and I find it hard to believe that of all the problems they have, this seems to have taken priority. I’m sure very few people who sat in the ACC and looked at Bill Watters Show promos made the connection to his criticism of the hockey team, but now that management has brought attention to it, everybody will know. It’s very Peddie, er petty.
