Muskblog: the sad, pathetic truth

I thought of that title a couple of days ago, but saved it. Today wasn’t a particularly eventful day Olympic wise, stuff happened in the DTES, stuff always happens in the DTES. W2 did a whole bunch of stuff today, I’m sure it is all over the blogosphere, April was there. I [...]

Last night I took it easy and watched Canada win a gold medal in Skeleton on TV. Today I’ve taken it easy, done a few domestic chores, but decided that wasn’t what I wanted to do on such a lovely day. Apparently I’m going to New Westminster to watch men fight in a [...]
