Actually, it was plenty not warm. That’s because cold is simply the absence of heat.

Having spent almost all of my career in the 365-day-a-year world of journalism, New Year’s Day was always the preferred holiday to work if there was a choice. Volunteering for duty then made it more likely to have real holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, to spend with the family.

Sports Editor Tim Schmitt and his staff do a great job handling the local sports scene, ranging from youth activities to the area professional teams and everything in between.

That could technically describe the house at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Sunday. Although there were patches of fans disguised as empty seats, all the tickets had been officially accounted for.

Not that the traditional Thanksgiving starting point seems to matter much anymore.

Now to most of us, that isn’t a revolutionary statement. That’s just common sense. But to some folks at Niagara Falls City Hall, it seems to be a revelation.
