Who thought this it’d be a close series? It sure would be a heck of a thing for Pittsburgh to beat Detroit in this series, but to come back from a 2-0 deficit is as likely as Alex Kovalev wearing a C on his jersey for the Habs next year. Of course it’s mathematically possible, but….. [...]

Bridge CLOSED signs and Heavy Tractors at Bridge in Akwasasne 10:30 PM May 31′st 2009
It’s 10:40 PM as I write this having just crossed the bridge back to Cornwall. Numerous fires are lighting up a clear sky as hundreds of people mill about waiting for something to happen at MIDNIGHT. It was suggested to me that I put my camera away so there will be no pics with this [...]
Cooking With Kretz – Mycological Delights
Thats right, mushroom season is fast approaching. Over the next month thousands of species of mushrooms will “pop” up all across our beautiful province. Well wooded areas are particularly prime mushroom hunting locations. Before I delve to far into the topic I would like to suggest some further reading and/or identifications books. Local book [...]
Detroit takes Game One 3-1 – Crosby kept off the scoreboard
L I N K Marian Hossa had 3 shots, Sidney Crosby had 2, and the refs let the boys play hockey in Game one of the Stanley Cup finals last night. The goalies and depth were the difference last night. It’s going to be a good series, but unless Crosby and Malkin put on a [...]

Resto Reviews – Seguin Patates CORNWALL
I love chip stands. I love a good steamed dog as well. Seguin Patates (921 Marlborough St N, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada) is a venerable old chip stand here in Cornwall. It’s been around for a long time so this year I thought I’d do a review of it. I love their Coney Sauce; the fries [...]
Cornwall Lift Off announces headline act
The budget must be getting low as the Lift Off people opened the crypt and dragged out Amanda Marshall from obscurity. Ms Marshall hasn’t put out a new album since 2001 and hasn’t been on tour much either. It should be an interesting show. Luckily Lift Off is a super event and should be an [...]

Penguins Advance to Stanley Cup
This year’s Stanley cup looks to be a “fowl” affair. (my apologies to those that hate puns) As the Pittsburgh Penguins advanced over the Carolina Hurricanes in a 4-1 victory last night. Crosby and Malkin did not score but were present. It should be an exciting series and I’m not going to even try and [...]

Sometimes in life you have to make a choice. Sometimes you want Chocolate and Vanilla. Sometiemes you can have both!
