Last week we bought a new scale that also measures body fat composition. My numbers were nice and even: weight of 200lb with 25% body fat. Yes, that’s 50lb of fat! According to the pamphlet that came with the scale, this is “high” for my age group; 11-14% is “excellent”, 14-19% is “good”, 19-24% is [...]

Cisco Symposium
Posted in Sports, Technology on October 6, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Cisco holds an annual technical symposium in Toronto, and I attended yesterday’s event. It was full of good technical information, with the expected level of Cisco marketing spin. Especially useful was a session on Quality of Service, which was a scaled down version of a nine-hour presentation given during this year’s Networkers in New Orleans. [...]
Focus

Third period, we’re up 3-2, they’re coming on strong. Our left-winger makes an ill-advised blind drop-pass, easily picked up their six-foot-five right-winger, and suddenly a three-on-two begins. I wheel around, take three or four frantic strides to build some speed, and spin around again to face the onslaught. Skating backwards now, I try to position [...]
Howling Wolverines

This summer I’ll be playing hockey with the Howling Wolverines, a team we played against last season. There are a number of players on the team I’ve played with before, and the rest seem like a good bunch. Yesterday afternoon I had the opportunity to meet them at a team barbeque and scrimmage [...]

Tonight I skated at the Air Canada Centre, home of our city’s beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. One of our customers hosts an anual event which includes a two hour skate followed by a hockey game where the customer faces of against its suppliers.
Unfortunately, only one employee from each supplier is selected to play, and [...]

Family Hockey Game

On Saturday night we held the first ever (and hopefully annual) Kligerman/Goldhar family hockey game. I rented ice at Rinx for an hour, and a bunch of my cousins and two uncles went out for a skate, and played some shinny. It was lots of fun, and Merita caught it all on digital video, which [...]
Magical February Night

Downtown Toronto on a February night can be a magical place.”Car!” yells the goalie, squinting into the yellow cab’s headlights. He kicks the well-used shin pad out of the path of the snow-crunching tires, and then returns it to its proper place as goal post marker.
They say kids aren’t playing street hockey anymore. [...]
