I Wish Spammers Would Drop Dead.

I received an e-mail notification this morning that someone had attempted to leave a comment about one of my posts on here.

Two New Sections on the Way

Though they’re not yet complete (in fact, they’re barely started), I’m adding new pages to the main site which will provide very basic info about varsity and midget football in the Ottawa area.

Main Site Update

At the risk of looking like I’m jumping the gun a little bit, you’ll note that the “professional” button at left (of the main site) has been change to one specific to the Rough Riders.
