The thing that they never talk about when they talk about the homeless from what I can remember, is the boredom. When you're not begging in one spot you're looking for another and time slows to a crawl. If you get lucky and somebody throws a ten bill at you,

I've been in this doctoring game for some time but I'd never seen a patient like this one. She explained that she'd been through three other physicians before me and that I had been highly recommended by someone in her Bible study group. Her name was Tiffany R. and she

Week 15 Fallout: These are the teams that were officially sent to a farm upstate. They are the Bills, Jets, Broncos, Bengals, Giants, Packers, Lions, Bucs and Falcons. No need to worry about them though, at this particular farm the refs have a very firm grasp on the 'catch' rule and

I could feel some heat at the soup kitchen and it wasn't coming off the steam tables. Yeah, I was the last one to see Gus or John or Mack (whatever the guy's name was) alive. The police that interviewed me bought the story of me saying "bye" and taking

Catch a tiger by the toe. Or a Giant. Or maybe a Packer. You know, one of those teams that have chances of making the playoffs in around the 2-5% mark. Watch them holler at the end of the day when they're officially eliminated from the holy grail that is

To borrow from that Lightfoot song that everyone knows, in northern Ontario the winds of November come early. I use that to my advantage. Earlier in the spring I noticed a guy talking to himself by the corner store. I was waiting while my wife was playing her 'special numbers'.

Hey gang. I don't see anything in this slate of games that makes the hair on my saggy balls stand on end. But all of us have been down this road before. It's not the 'meh-level' that matters-it's the *experience* that matters. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! And anything usually does. So let's
