English is such a fun language

I am back. I have better stuff to say tomorrow, at least I think I do. I did want to share this gem. It is another embarrassing admission on my part, but I think that it was worth it. I hope you all had nice weekends out there. It was cold, windy and then just cold and sunny here, so it was not the best weekend, but then again it is Toronto and January, so it could have been far worse.

I mean, I look back two years ago and it was FREEZING. We had a small thaw and then I discovered that our pipe split, so we had a terrific spray of cold water in the basement. This coincided with the final death throw of my PC at that time. I would burn through another, but that one was basically put together with duct tape and paper clips, so to get nine months out if before it died was okay. Programs and parts shut down just like human organs in a dying person. I now have a bit of a graveyard of dead computer towers and parts in my basement.

Anyway, for the embarrassing revelation, I was flipping channels on Saturday and stopped, briefly (that is my story) on what was a Canadian college basketball game. To make it worse, in terms of admissions, it was women's basketball. I watched some Canadian Women's University Basketball, there I said it, happy now?

The play is moving and the announcer says that the woman are "playing man to man defense". Huh?!!!! There is that funny English word play. I am watching woman play "man to man" defense? Can it be? Were they doing urine and blood tests after the game to make sure these were indeed women? I found it funny, but then again what do I know?

Ciao!
