Happy holidays

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all blog readers. Thanks for your support and encouragement throughout the year.

With some time off over the holidays, I have a little story about the Caveman that I hope to post soon, so check back for that early in the new year if you are interested.

I also wanted to pass on some sad news about a couple of recent deaths in the area - young guys (relatively speaking) who died too early and were involved in fastball and other sports.

Terry McIntrye from Renfrew is someone that I knew through officiating hockey. Terry also umpired fastball in the Ottawa Valley. He died at 55 in late November. Info here.

Chris Millerwood from Carp was involved in broomball and was also fastball player in the old West Carleton League. He died just this week at 46. Info here.

Cancer sucks.
