It’s “game on” in uncovering the many sports-inspired terms, expressions and sayings that populate our everyday language! That’s the challenge that this book takes on, using a “playbook” for each sport.

After “going for the fences” and “covering all the bases” in the sport of baseball, the “ball is kept rolling,” despite many a “sticky wicket,” through the long-running game of cricket.

In due course, football “kicks off” with continuing commentary from the author as "armchair quarterback,” after which it’s “out of the gate” with “wire-to-wire” coverage of horse racing.

Finally, a “blow-by-blow account” of the sweet science of boxing is followed by “play-by-play accounts” of more than 35 other sports that have been added to the game-day lineup.

The discussion is enlivened by lots of sports humour and anecdotes along with quotations from sports personalities. Many of the words from those who are sportingly wise may sound quite familiar, much like “déjà vu all over again.”.

Though he might look at his shoes when he talks and has a bit of a stutter, Sander is one of the biggest characters you’ll ever meet.

Sander’s Parachute, Unimog, Combine, Spy Plane, and Guest is a collection of delightful stories centered on Sander, short for Aleksander, the narrator’s northerly neighbor. Whether he’s establishing a quasi-greenhouse for the locals, or building a bi-plane spy plane by hand using auction and thrift store finds, Sander has no shortage of agricultural and mechanical knowledge, like any hardworking Northern farmer worth his salt, and it always comes in handy.

As the landscape of the Canadian North—literally and metaphorically—changes before him, Sander finds himself faced with a sense of loss as farms grow larger and families move away, and the hard-won homesteads of the past become homes to wild animal tenants. But the spirit of the rough-and-tumble North lives on in Sander, he remains a pilgrim from another time, baffling and charming and devoted to the betterment of anyone in his orbit.

Though he might not, strictly speaking, have a way with women, he will brush shoulders with romance more than once. And though he is not, strictly speaking, the most forthcoming, he is one of the most cherished and best-loved neighbors any of the locals could have asked for.
