After some oh-so subtle comments (like Pierre: "So, should I just delete the Hounds page from my bookmarks?") I've decided to start up again with the start of the outdoor season. A lot has gone on in the past two months since the last post. In no particular order:
- We're about to start the third Summer of the Hounds.
- The winter season ended on a low note...losing the final two games in the playoffs. We're not there yet.
- Our friend Matt left to be the new best player in Spain. More on that another day.
- Spiderman 3 came out. Too many villians. Michelle can't wait for the next Pirates movie, whereas I am looking forward to the Simpsons movie.
- The Maple Leafs teased us all with a big win over Montreal on the second-last day of the season, only to see some goalie nicknamed "Dubie" knock them out of the playoffs in heart-breaking fashion the day after. And now Ottawa is the favourite to win the Stanley Cup. Excuse me while I smash my face in with a frying pan.
- Hamid, Chris, Dan Thomson defended their Spring Tune Up title with the help of Dan Norman, MC, and a few others as they ran the table as "Stupid Sexy Flanders." After playing 6 games, all we could say was "This is the worst pain ever!"
- Simon Jr. still has not been born yet.
- 24 is almost over, and I hate to say it, but I think it's losing it's magic. It's just too much. I can't miss an episode though.
- The Hounds added Carla, Nadia, Dan and Owen as full-time members of the squad. Best recruiting since Michigan's basketball team when they got the "Fab 5".
- The Raptors choked away their first round series to Vince Carter and the New Jersey Nets. That really pissed me off.
- We're two years of bidding away from having a chance at going to Gender Blender.
- A rag-tag group of Hounds finished 13th at TUF. It was the top finish by a non-Touring team. Rob Camp gives us a 5% chance at making he Nationals.
- Someone won Survivor. Apparently it's still on TV.
- The Blue Jays have gone from "optimistic" to "gong show" with injuries to their closer, set-up man, left fielder/leadoff man, ace starter, third baseman, catcher, bat boy and peanut vender. We're pretty much looking to next year already, and we're not even a third of the way through this season. Wicked.
- Canada won the World Hockey Championships with a perfect record. The House of Commons tried to take credit for their "motivation" of captain Shane Doan.
- We have initially been ranked 14th on Mondays. Time to get to work.
- Chuck Norris found me, which is why I'm back to posting.
