The Toronto Maple Leafs Story
Well, if we just get the right guys and everyone has their heads together and we spend a little more money (what cap?) on the forward line and the defense comes together and our fans come on the road with us (support is key and we need to show what we can do), so we can have better goal-tending and the GM listens to the coach who listens to the players and we break up the forward line and defense and we do great in the regular season oh we will get them next season if we...

The Toronto Maple Leafs Haiku
You only get three lines: it's too funny for me; too sad for your fans. Golf, Leafs, Golf! Note: I wrote this after the team choked out in the second round (their first time there in 19 years). As a Montréal Canadians fan, I try not to laugh at the bozos on blades...but it is hard to do so...

Sour and Sweet
“Darling, I love you.” “Please, not while I’m eating.” His wife knew that this would be a very special day in the shop, but her Marvin needed a bit of a poke in order to care about it. Her husband, staring down at his scrambled eggs and bacon, knew that his Michelle wanted him to care more about the day than he ever could. The way things were going, they would both care too much.

Monopoly on the Couch. Top Story - May 2023.
Does anyone still play board games? I have to wonder about this after many returns home over many years and noting the number of movies watched, drinks imbibed, sporting events ingested (I will not say “enjoyed”) and debates over politics and culture shouted across living rooms and kitchen tables. In my family, playing board games was very much a part of the deal. My mother taught me how important it was to play a game like Scrabble because of its use as a tool to learn how to spell and discover new words (and also a means to destroy an opponent’s sense of self-worth when they challenged your words and you sent them running to a dictionary to confirm a small victory). I played Scrabble on almost every trip to aunts, uncles and other relatives, along with endless sessions of Sorry!, dominoes, various card games, and the most challenging one for me: Monopoly.

A Girl on Her Bike
She got on her bike, but she did not go to school. No, there were castles to visit and princes to court. A dragon promised her treasure, and the rocket she was building was almost ready for her first trip into space. The wizards knew she had the right spells; the elves knew she would remember their songs. All she had to do was stay on that bike, and then...
