    December 16, 2014. The ceiling at the dentist. It's not a very good image, because it's washed out by the light and taken while I'm in the process of getting a gingival transplant. But there's a story behind this image. I've said many times that "know...

    December 12, 2014. Moncton Miracles played tough defense today and were nailing the 3-point shots. This was easily their best game of the year, and the third quarter one of the best I've ever seen the team play as it built a 33 point lead and cruised ...
