- When I heard that the original Ottawa Senators used to play at the corner of O'Connor and Argyle, it fascinated me. I thought to myself: How awesome would it be to be able to WALK to Sens games that are located right in the heart of downtown? The arena, the Ottawa Auditorium, was torn down in 1967 and replaced with a YMCA. Hard to believe the Stanley Cup was won at the very street corner over 80 years ago.

- The public consultations on Lansdowne Live are going to be long and drawn out, and there still exists a slight chance that the whole idea could be kiboshed after the whole football vs soccer debate was in full swing earlier this year. I just hope something gets done; this city doesn't need more condos.

- I had the privilege of taking in Jerry Seinfeld at a live show at the NAC two weeks ago. I can't believe he's 55 years old; he looks like he hasn't aged a day and is full of energy. The crowd gave him a standing ovation before he even said a word. One thing that stuck with me was a joke about how everything we buy is just the start of it's eventual destination to the trash. When you stop and think about it, it's very true. We love it, then ignore it, store it in the garage and then set it to the curb. Kind of worrisome when you stop and think about it.

- Happy birthday to Alex and Plan B!
