THE CANADIAN WOMEN'S HOCKEY CELEBRATION WAS DEFINITELY ON-SIDE
The International Olympic Committee needs to lighten up- a lot. The IOC’s recent attack on the Canadian women’s hockey team for their post gold medal celebration was an incredibly stupid move.
The team had just won an Olympic title and they deserved a post-game celebration. A lot of team locker rooms are known to stock booze for that very purpose. The players decided to take the party back on the ice where they could soak up some lifetime memories and the odd beer.
The whole celebration took place after the fans had left the building in orderly Elvis style.
If I was on the team, I would hope that I was the smart one who first came up with the idea.
It had to be an amazing and fitting place for the women to relive a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

IT'S TOUGH TO FEEL A LOT OF WARMTH AND AFFECTION FOR WINTER
It is near the end of February and I feel little love for the winter season. The Christmas season is long past, and the last good reason for snow and cold left with it. After that, we just mark time in winter.
Smart people mark their time closer to the equator, but that is not an option for most people. So we invent ways to make the winter season a little more tolerable, beyond the concept of a straight drinking binge until the snow or pain goes away.
One of my favorites is a polar bear swim which, in my northern neck of the woods, can be a combination of exhilaration and death by severe hypothermia. We have to cut holes in very thick ice to get to the open water on our local lakes.
The next step is to assemble a collection of clinically crazy people that will strip down to beach gear in -25 weather and jump into the lake.This stunt never gets old, no matter how many times I see it up close and personal.
It is a shock and awe moment every time for the frozen few, and a big laugh for observers.

TILLIKUM THE KILLER WHALE: WHALE 3 HUMAN BEINGS 0
The very unfortunate death of a
The suspicious death involved a naked dead guy found lying across the whale’s back one morning. Apparently the guy broke into Orlando Sea World and succumbed to hypothermia in Tilikum’s tank shortly before he died in one of the most embarrassing possible ways.
Killer whales are not typically harmful to people when they encounter each other on the deep blue sea. But they aren’t fond of life in a small marine tank leaping for food. They will develop a bad attitude.
Tilikum took things to the next level and decided to act out in a very lethal way.

"HONEY, I BOUGHT AN OLD CAR":THE FIRST WORDS IN A DIVORCE
Only a car guy or masochist will try to sell his wife on a major old car restoration.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of women who are car guys.
But there are many more that view cars as a part of a simple plan to get from point A to point B for basic transportation purposes. They do not feel the love when it comes to sheet metal, four wheels and a power train.
So it may come as a big surprise when a woman discovers that her husband has an unnatural affection for old cars. But it definitely will come as a painful shock when he shows up with a restoration project that will require a boatload of cash to bring it back from the dead.
Suddenly a non-car person is faced with some very bad news.

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD TAKES ON MICHAEL BUBLE
There are some very good reasons to appreciate the impact of Michael Buble on popular music.
The guy has made a forgotten style of music popular again for the first time in many decades. His army of fans is primarily female, and they are represented in every possible age group under the sun.
Buble blends old-school orchestra with a mix of new pop tunes and a large collection of classics from the Great Singer era of the 50s and 60s.
He has embraced the style and swagger of the greatest singer from that era; The Chairman of the Board himself, Francis Albert Sinatra.
