Feb 08
In February 8th, it was a beautiful morning. Sunny but the temperature was -14. The drive from Beaverton to Barrie was wonderful, and actually when I got to Barrie the temperature had risen to -11.
On Sunday I watched 2 sporting events, one was the PGA golf tournament from the Los Angeles area. The other was the Super Bowl for Miami. I think it is the unpredictability of sports that makes them very interesting. Steve Stricker was supposed to win the golf tournament. He started the day leading by six strokes. He did win but only just. What caught my attention was his interview with Roger Maltby where he was clearly emotional. Here was a man that was very appreciative of having one, very appreciative of the sponsors, and very appreciative of the fans for taking the time to come and watch it. I deserve it winner. In the Super Bowl the new Orleans Saints were supposed to lose to the Indianapolis Colts. We all know that didn't happen. Again there was a post game interview where the quarterback from the new Orleans Saints was holding his very young son who was wearing a set of headsets. Perhaps it was the inquisitiveness of the son that showed me an appreciation of a sporting event it was the simplicity of the moment that captured my attention.
I was very lucky to be driving to Barry on the morning that Andy Berry announced his retirement from the morning show on CBC. There is something about hearing something live that enables one to capture the true human emotion that someone may be feeling. Yesterday morning Andy Berry announced his replacement. It was wonderful to hear his replacement speak from the heart, it is something that just cannot be duplicated when repeated on the newscasts later in the day.
