You need to remember, as you read this blog, that I do not make any of these things up.
That being said, (Canadian friends - I'm sorry, but you may want to skip this entire blog entry...it's not personal):
1. Was travelling yesterday through Brantford, Ontario (home, ironically, of Wayne Gretzky) and noticed that Brantford is also home to the "Sports Hall of Recognition." Is this where you go if you can't make a Hall of Fame? Is this like the participation certificate of sports halls?
2. On a similar note, the CFL (Canadian Football League) has started its season again. There are a variety of reasons that I don't watch the games, but one of them is particularly relevant to the subject at hand. In the CFL, you can actually score a point for attempting a field goal, and missing. (As in "nice try" - "let's give them a point anyway!")
Completely true.

No making fun of Brantford!
Hi Amy: we miss you very much at St. Aidan in MJ SK. Just discovered your blog and enjoyed this entry. I believe the reason for the point is because the football cross the goal line. If it had gone between the posts there would have been 2 points. So glad you are getting settled in live farther east but I pray for the day when your family can return to the USA and home. It is difficult being in a different country I am sure for such a long time. Blessings to you,
Sue Bornowsky
