Scribbling some perspective on Canada, Ottawa and whatever else crosses my mind…
The fam and I were going to head off to Britannia Beach the other day for some water-based recreation-type stuff. But, upon checking the City rwebsite, we discovered that the beach was closed!
I thought it was a e. coli thing but nooooo….. this was the real reason!
There was a massive sea monkey infestation!
Damned sea moneys… don’t care how cute they are… hate ’em!
Thanks to the O-dot for clearing this up.

Even though we have known that this was coming for some time (tough to keep a secret of any kind in Ottawa), I am ecstatic to see a NASL team coming to the NCR in 2013 or 2014 – depending on when the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park and Frank Clair Stadium is completed.
OK – where can I get season tickets?
I hope Ottawa can get behind this team and kick its image as a one-sport town. It was tough to see the Lynx leave due to a horrendous lack of fan support. I spent many sunny (and not-so-sunny) afternoons eating peanuts, drinking beer and watching some good baseball, and I look forward to be doing the same on Bank Street in a couple of years!
Now for a name… I hope the owners consult the community – hold a contest, maybe?
Me? How about the:
