Maybe We Could Also Catch a Nordiques Game While We're There

LAST YEAR, for reasons still unknown, the Shallow Center household began receiving Health magazine in the mail. We never subscribed to it and never responded to the periodic subscription renewal requests we received, yet once a month it shows up on our doorstep. Health is clearly a female-oriented pub, yet I still like paging through it, because things such as maintaining work-life balance, managing stress, and eating healthy really aren't confined to one gender, and because there's usually an off-the-charts attractive model smiling on each issue's cover. (This month's, seen at right, is uber-cutie Kara Thomas.)

As the father of daughters and a pretty live-and-let-live kind of guy, I'm not at all bothered by Health's female bent, and when a travel-story sidebar headlined "Book this: 4 foolproof getaways" mentioned Montreal, where Mrs. SC and I will be headed this fall, I dove right in. My eagerness was halted abruptly, though, by this sentence:

Catch a Montreal Expos game and the jazz festival (www.montrealjazzfest.com).

Sacre bleu! The Expos moved out of Montreal for Washington after the 2004 season. My wife thinks it's sexist, but maybe a bit of a male viewpoints might have helped the pub's editors avoid such an obvious error. I look forward to reading the correction next month. Assuming, of course, we're still receiving it then. Um, our check is in the mail ... along with our order for Philadelphia A's season tickets.
