So Much Going On

Gosh there is so much going in my life these days that I have no time to write as much....some the ideeahs I have had over the last weeks which I have not expanded upon.

1) GM.....enough already.  Goodbye.
2) Citigroup at $0.97.  Wow.
3) Vince Li found not not criminally responsible for beheading of Tim McLean - Blame God?
4) Tori plans for attack ads regarding Ignatieff.  The kids are indeed once again back at it.  Grow up.
5) Question Period in Parliament.  No more please.  You all make me sick when you play this game.  The news media should stop reporting on it until Members of Parliament grow up.
6) No Line on the Horizon, U2's new album - awesome.
7) Iranian nukes, North Korean threats - some world.
8) Vancouver shootings - 30 shootings and 12 deaths in 2009, so far.  And the police know who they are.  Huh?

I hope to expand on them soon.

Ciao.

Let me know what you think about what you have just read. Please and thanks!

Regarding your 8th point...it looks like a potential move to NS may not be such a bad idea...;-)

Banning Russian Teams and Athletes

Speaking Tuesday to legislators in London about Wimbledon, British Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston said: "Absolutely nobody flying the flag for Russia should be allowed. Many of us would be willing and able to [allow them to] compete as non-aligned, non-flag-bearing entities. But I think it needs to go beyond that. We need some potential assurances that they are not supporters of Vladimir Putin and we are considering what requirements we may need to try and get some assurances along those lines." (source =  https://www.cbc.ca/sports/tennis/wimbledon-british-government-in-talks-about-russian-players-1.6386102 ) The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sparked much debate in the world of sports.  Should Russian teams be banned from competing?  Should individual Russian athletes be banned?  Should teams of athletes be allowed to compete but without flag, uniform, country name, anthem, etc.? Some athletes have said that it is unfair to mix politics and sports.  They rightly state t

A Personal Request

To my readers, Yesterday I registered to run the 5K HSBC 2009 Childrun.  This is an event that is being held June 7, 2009 for the 24th year.  It raises funds to help provide care and treatment to children who suffer from cancer.  I consider it a worthwhile cause and I am therefore asking you to donate whatever you can.  Here is a link to my personal web page where you can make a donation.  Thanks in advance for your support.

Ash Barty

The news that Ash Barty has taken the decision to retire at the age of 25 has caused many people to react.  Some understand, others question, others accuse.   Her decision has touched off a few ideas of my own. When is enough actually enough?  When do we decide we have enough?  When can we stop and just be content with what we have? At 25 she has achieved so much.  I have seen words accusing her of lack of character, of quitting or of not having the mental fortitude (one person I saw was wondering what was wrong with women's tennis?)  I think none of these people can really speak with any authority.  First of all most of these people, writing the drivel, can hardly speak from a place of success.  How many grand slams have they won?  How many tens of millions of dollars have they earned, how many weeks at number one have they spend and how well known are they in the world?   At some point, enough is enough.  I respect Ash Barty for taking a personal decision.  She has enough.  She h
