2020 couldn’t even give us one full weekend of happiness.

There was also a contestant on the Amazing Race Canada a few years back who said he learned English from watching Jeopardy

Truly one of our all time greatest Canadians. Ukrainian immigrant father, French-Canadian mother... Does it get more Canadian than that?

So for those that are wondering, there are 6 weeks of Trebek's episodes left to go, at least until Christmas

does that make it okay? I've been hearing a lot of that during COVID....that certain paople's deaths are excusable because they were old. **** that. 

Howie's family...can't remember if it's his daughter or niece....moved to Pinawa and married a Haugen. They had two kids around my age. The daughter, in particular, I knew well growing up. They were really good people. 

Two great Canadians in one day....truly awful day.

We are all one heartbeat away from eternity, and the true measure of our lives  is not in years but in the joy we bring into the lives of others.

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but the first First Nations NHL player, Fred Sasakamoose, died yesterday because of COVID. Terrible...

[Tracker]

Diego Maradonna, one of the greatest soccer players of all time has died of an apparent cocaine overdose that caused a fatal cardiac arrest.

I guess you could say it was the end of the line for him.
