The SBP Archives - Your less than frequent dose of SBP!

"...as the saying goes, out with the old, in with the nucleus."

The older I get, the shorter the days are and the quicker time passes. Remember in elementary school when we'd take all that time to put on our boots, jacket, gloves, hat and scarf so we could enjoy fifteen minutes of recess? Those fifteen minutes seemed to last forever. Crazy.

Anyway, I digress. 2008 is about to end and 2009 is about to begin. I decided to compile a list of things that I hope 2009 brings, for myself and for others:

For SBP:

- a World Series of Poker bracelet
- a fourth Terminator movie that's actually good
- a visit by The Killers @ Scotiabank Place

For M-C:

- a full return to health

For the Ottawa Senators:

- Jay Bouwmeester and John Tavares. I'm being realistic by not asking for a Stanley Cup

For Eugene Melnyk

- The above, plus an Ottawa MLS franchise

For the Canadian World Junior hockey team:

- a gold medal

For the city of Ottawa:

- an end to the bus strike
- a CFL franchise with a revamped Frank Clair stadium, stable ownership and a strong fan base
- a new owner for the Ottawa Rapids (not with a "Z", zip.ca bailed on the team)

For WWE:

- A year with no premature wrestler deaths.

For the economy:

- an end to the recession

And of course, to all my friends & family and loyal readers of my blog, a safe, healthy, happy & prosperous New Year!

Cheers!
