don chevrier

One Regret

It was with great sadness earlier this week when I learned of the passing of legendary Canadian broadcaster Don Chevrier. As I'm sure many of you know, Chevrier was the first TV voice of the Toronto Blue Jays and I can still remember convincing my mother to let me play "hooky" from school so I could see that first ever game. When I think of Chevrier and the Blue Jays, I think of the night Nolan Ryan pitched a perfect game against Toronto and the magical words that came out of Chevrier that Wednesday night in Arlington.

The Painting - A Christmas Story.

I have an appreciation for what Susan, my wife, must go through having to live with 3 boys. (2 sons and me.) The boys are 15 and 12. We were at my youngest son's Christmas concert last night at his school. As his class passed right by our seats to go to the stage the 15 year old whispered to the 12 year old...."Loser". All three of us, even the 12 year old, laughed. Susan rolled her eyes. Ah....Christmas. I'll admit it, I'm 40 going on 4. It keeps me young.
