Bob on Guard

Well, it’s another rainy day in Chilliwack… Whatever happened to our spring and summer? We get just enough sunshine to tease us a bit and then the clouds build and the rain pours again soon after.

Oh well, these times of… Continue reading →

I’m so ashamed…

Published June 16, 2011 | By cjblythe

I just want to apologize to everyone for the violent, riotous display in Vancouver after the Stanley Cup final last night.

I live in Chilliwack, British Columbia, which is one hour south and east of Vancouver. At one point during the series, I discussed the possibility of driving in to… Continue reading →

A Noble Game or A Bullying Shame?

Published June 16, 2011 | By cjblythe

Well, deep down I knew it was to good to be true – my hope that the Canucks would bring the Stanley Cup home.

But, I must say that I have been sick to my stomach several times throughout this series – and not because the Canucks were struggling at… Continue reading →

Disappointment Abounds

Published June 8, 2011 | By cjblythe

It was so hard to watch tonight’s game #3 of the final series of the Stanley Cup. Both teams should be ashamed of themselves.

The cheap shots, ‘goon’ism, lip-smacking and outright fistfights were horrendous on both sides.

Whatever happened to professionalism and sportsmanship? What kind of lessons are being taught… Continue reading →

A ‘Stanley Cup’ Conspiracy Theory

Published June 7, 2011 | By cjblythe

OK. This is total speculation, but if you look at all of the series runoffs that have occurred in oh-h-h, say, the past 20 years, you’ll notice that the majority of the time the series ends after six or seven games, regardless of the winning/losing record of the teams in… Continue reading →

The Last Supper – Canucks Style!

Published June 3, 2011 | By cjblythe

OK! I couldn’t resist!

I received this image from my husband. I have no idea who created it or why, but I think it’s hilarious.

I just hope it doesn’t bode ill for the Canuck’s chances in this Stanley Cup Playoff final series against the Boston Bruins.

Taking a Mud Bath…

Published June 1, 2011 | By cjblythe

While going through some of the pictures from her photo shoot with Erin today, we were discussing what it must have been like.

I worried needlessly though, because she was quick to remind me how much she has always enjoyed playing in the mud.

As a matter of fact, one… Continue reading →
