I have been writing for as long as I can remember. Some of my better relationships were long distance ones that relied on snail mail and AT&T. Talk to any of my exes and I am sure they will agree. I like Beer; it makes me a jolly good fellow (I don't know the rest of the song). I want to take this chance to say farewell to a beer in my 'younger' days I was quite familiar with- Olympia. Let's face it folks- we have all had those times when we really wanted to get ripped and we did not have the money for enough Guinness, Bass, or even Bud Lite to do so. For $5 a case of ice cold Olympia sure hit the spot. Recently I learned that the brewery that produced this affordable concoction closed in 2003. I haven't had an Olympia ice cold or otherwise in years, but I must admit to feeling a little nostalgic when I heard the news. I was a little saddened. It's not like I ever intended on drinking this fine brew ever again. Back in the day, Olympia was like one of the gang- now part of the gang ha passed on. Farewell Olympia. Tonight I will tip a Shiner Bock (or two...or three...or four...) in your honor.
Every season always has a few surprises.

The final week of September saw the Canadian regional competition come to an end with a semi-final matchup between the BC Bears and the Ontario Blues set to play on October 10.
Three weeks into the NFL season and we are already seeing a number of unexpected things.
Who would have thought that the Steelers would be 1-2 with losses to the Bengals and Bears, two teams that have been confused about the concept of offense in recent years?
Playoff season is almost upon us baseball fans! As expected the Yankees have had their spot in the postseason wrapped up for some time. Last weekend saw the Cardinals clinch their division and the Dodgers at least lock up a playoff spot if not the division title.
In early September, the newest piece to the International Rugby Board’s Strategic Investment Program began competition. Replacing the IRB North America 4, this competition is intended to provide a venue for domestic and international rugby to do battle.
Let the tail gate down, fire up the grill, and fill your coolers sports fans! Labor Day weekend gave football fans across the nation something to cheer about as the College Football season kicked into gear. The cheering intensified and continued as the NFL season began a week later.
