    Stanley Cup Playoffs start today!

    The Jets are playing well but keep getting hurt by mis-steps in the final minutes of the games. They lost Monday 5-4 in overtime after having a 4-3 lead going into the third.

    Masters degree injury

    Seems like pipe smokers can be an educated lot! I have a MSc in Information Security from Royal Holloway-University of London. How many more "masters" around here?

    Greetings from Ontario!

    Campers here! Might be swining east to hit my hometown (Kingston) in the future. Haven't been back in years so it's due. Maybe hookup along the route.
