Don’t let the sunshine and chirping birds fool you. A long shadow has been cast upon my city and with the Toronto Blue Jays sitting dead last in their division it could be a cool summer, indeed.
Last Monday, we let our seven-year-old son stay up way past his bedtime to watch perhaps the most spectacular playoff loss of all time. It’s in the top five, for sure. I mean, we didn’t know he was going to witness sports history at the time, of course. I thought he’d just get to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs fizzle out in their typical fashion. Ed and Colum actually believed they might win. And then, up by three goals in the third period, I actually started to believe they could win too.
