those knees eh? Always the knees! Mine are in rough shape from years of hockey mostly, throw in some rugby, soccer and swimming and I get bad knees before I"m forty. Along with a bad back, ankles and hips. All those areas that get jarred the most from body contact. As for Kingston, yeah its a hockey hotbed for sure. The only thing keeping that team from getting a pro franchise is the population. Being right in the middle of Ottawa and Toronto it would logically make a good spot for another franchise. The Frontenacs have some great history. And Doug Gilmour coaching them the last two years must be great for publicity! Home town boy comes back to coach the local franchise! One year I was working in Oshawa, and my dad was working/living in Kinsgton. Same company just different offices, anyway, both offices went in on a sponosorship deal with the local teams, us with the Oshawa Generals and the other office with the Frontenacs. Part of the deal was each office got seasons tickets to their respective teams. I was really the only big hockey fan in our office so I got to see most of the Generals games that year, especially those games against the Frontenacs. At the end of the season, the 'boss' of the office whose team had fewer points had to wear the 'other' teams jersey for a day. I believe my boss had to wear the Frontenacs jersey that year. I have a cottage just north of Kingston, up Division St., so I spend many weekends duirng the summer out that way. Great area. Kingston is one of my favourite towns.
What's the matter, James? No glib remark? No pithy comeback?"
