We are not arm chair coaches. We do follow sports.
Monday afternoon, June 10th: women's soccer! Canada vs. Cameroon. They won. Yippee.
I've been to my fair share of soccer games. Caitlin played for a long time, all through school, even through university, and when she had had kids.
Three points! Canada head to Grenoble for their next match against New Zealand on Saturday. #CanWNT #TogetherWeRise pic.twitter.com/GbYBQgRMfu— Canada Soccer (@CanadaSoccerEN) June 10, 2019

Then, there was basketball. We stayed up late to watch. It was quite the game with the last minute lasting a long time. We were on the edge of our seats.Monday is cancelled in Toronto.

I had a chat with my daughter, I told her we were watching the games. Also, that we were turning into my parents! My parents were avid sports nuts, at the time that they couldn't possibly play sports.
Basketball was fun. Staying up late, midnight for us, was quite the deal. Fortunately, we can nap! In fact, basketball was invented by a Canadian. I've not watched it much, but with satellite TV, and lots of time, it has been entertaining, if nail biting.
This is a tribute to James Naismith in Almonte, where he was born. Everyone loves the statue.
Naismith was born on November 6, 1861, in Almonte, Canada West (now part of Mississippi Mills, Ontario, Canada) to Scottish immigrants.[6] Wikipedia
James Naismith was a Canadian physical educator, physician, Christian chaplain, sports coach, and innovator. He invented the game of basketball at age 30 in 1891. He wrote the original basketball rule book and founded the University of Kansas basketball program.
The Toronto parade was amazing!
What an event to bring the city together. The parade was delayed 3 hours, the crowds were so deep. It was a beautiful parade of people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, creeds and colours. They estimate more than a million people!
