Oh Canada
Yesterday, despite the illness, we all went off to the Rogers Centre for the CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
The Argos were hoping to continue the run of 4 wins and it was an extra special occasion as Damon Allen was being awarded for leading the All-Time Pro football passing chart with 70,596 passing yards; he surpassed Warren Moon's total of 70,553 yards (in both the CFL and NFL combined) in the annual Labour Day Classic. This season is Allen's 22nd season in the CFL and at 43 he is pretty much ancient for a professional sportsman of any type.
It wasn't a great game, low scoring and not a single touchdown, but entertaining still.
Once we eventually found our seats.
We were up in 'the 500's' which as you can see from the pic is fairly high up! But great seats, looking directly down at the centre line, the CN Tower off to one side
and, hey, for $10 how can you complain? Especially when you get free pom poms.
The national anthem, sung before the game, brought a tear to my eye.
Oh Canada indeed.

The last time I went a game, I kept watching the live action on the giant screen instead of the actual football game on the field.
It's sad how conditioned I am to watch TV.
43 is of course a great age at which to take up a career as a professional golfer
yep, first time I went there I kept watching the screen too.
And considering Damons performance maybe he should be playing golf.
