Coasted to my third straight Mr. Hockey title in our neighbourhood hockey pool. Won three of six months. Trailed by about 35 points midway through the season after a disastrous December but made up for it in the next three months finishing 1-1-2 while counting on slow starting Sydney Crosby and Kris Letang to catch fire.
Threepeat as Mr. Hockey
- Those Darned Squirrels
Old Man Fookwire is a grump who only likes to paint pictures of birds that visit his backyard. The problem is, they fly south every winter, leaving him sad and lonely. So he decides to get them to stay by putting up beautiful birdfeeders filled with seeds and berries. Unfortunately, the squirrels like the treats, too, and make a daring raid on the feeders. The conflict escalates-until the birds depart (as usual), and the squirrels come up with a plan that charms the old grump.My take: How can you not like a book where you get to say Googlie Mooglie, raise your fist and yell “Those darned squirrels”?
