Baseball ... on Radio

It’s baseball season -- especially for us fans of ‘Le canadien,’ who bowed out in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Baseball is already completing its second month.
I was a fan of the Montreal Expos since their birth in 1969, until their sad departure and re-branding as the Washington Nationals a few seasons ago. The Expos had excellent announcers on TV and radio, led by the legendary Dave Van Horne.

Rain, Rain ... Enough Already!

I keep a daily weather log. It’s a habit I picked up from my Dad, who was a mariner for most of his working life. It’s vitally important for a mariner to know the weather forecast, learning how to observe the current conditions and noting the public forecasts.
I note that, every day during the last 3 1/2 weeks, the weather forecasts / logs here, and across Atlantic Canada, have included: cloudy, rain, showers, drizzle and fog.
