Break out the bubbly!


Tonight I am a champion. Just a few hours ago, the GreenGold Athletics won their 1st championship. And it feels so good. How many guys out there can say they've won the B'nai Brith, B2 Division softball championship? I bet you can't name too many.

The team was incredible. We went 14-2 over the last 16 games of the season (including playoffs) and outscored our opponent 22-3 in the 2-game final. That's a thorough thrashing if you ask me. We had stellar pitching, timely hitting and impenetrable defense. We were a proud bunch tonight having beers and food at the Firkin. The hardest part is waiting all the way until next year.

For those keeping score at home, that's a Beavers hockey championship and a GreenGold baseball championship in 2010.

You know I did last week? I went to go see Rock of Ages, a musical showing in Toronto. Lauren and my sister Erin really wanted to go. I didn't really care, but I agreed to go. And folks, I'm glad I did. The show was funny. The music was great. But how could you go wrong with 80's rock? I highly recommend the show.

Sign I'm approaching 30: My big night out in the last month was a musical at the Royal Alex.

I also want to give a quick shout out to my friend Carla who premiered her short film at TIFF last week. It was a lot of fun to go and see it and she was brilliant in the Q&A. Congrats Carla. Selfish point: The beautiful art we bought from Carla 6 months ago is skyrocketing in price. Boo ya!
