Grey Cup

I will be attending the Grey Cup game this weekend with my brother Brian. We do not have a horse in this race as we are Ti-Cat fans. Probably cheer for Calgary as the Argos are a hateful organisation. Always fun to hang around downtown on Grey Cup week, as there are people from across Canada visiting the bars. Brian is also attending the Vanier Cup on Friday as a McMaster alum. Good to see a Hamilton school compete. The bars should get a boost with all those students in town.

Congrats out to another brother Steve, a University Prof, who is getting a book published next year. It is not a Blog about nothing, but an impressive feat none the less. Let's just say that we agree to disagree when it comes to politics and other issues, but no one is rushing to publish my musings. I'm a better cartoonist.

Also a shout out to Chris D'Arcy, the patriarch of the D'Arcy clan and a regular reader of this Blog. A big Notre Dame supporter. We are hoping for a National Championship and big victory over USC.

At least one of our teams has to win something. A Notre Dame v. Alabama National Championship game would be nice.

People in Toronto do not get too excited about a Grey Cup, even with the local team involved, but you can't help but notice the Grey Cup festivities taking over both Nathan Phillips Square and Dundas Square. Both public squares are near my office. I have heard not a single person mention the Grey Cup this week. There is a real disconnect with the local populous.
