If it's in good shape after 30-35 years, then leave it. Chances are a new slab will deteriorate faster.

Ottawa hosting Volleyball Nations League this week at the Civic Centre, that place that can no longer attract major events apparently.

Spotted a few teams at a Downtown hotel on Sunday.

I was going to go watch the Volleyball. The last time FIVB was here it was a GREAT show to see. Bulgaria, France, Canada, Italy, Germany. Excellent teams and really fun to watch.

However. It is currently ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE DOLLARS PER TICKET.

Two hundred fifty dollars for an afternoon's sporting event. Plus transportation, parking, and concessions, if you can still afford to eat.

WTF.
