The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow
Off to an Early Appointment this morning.
Back full strength tomorrow with the customary complaints, brick-a-bats, witticisms and favorite tunes.
In the meantime...
May he rest in peace...Gene Kiniski.
There was a time when, if you were a Canadian and you followed sports or entertainment, you had a pretty good handle on World Heavyweight Wrestling champ, Gene Kiniski.
This was around the same time that, if you were growing up in certain towns like Edmonton or Winnipeg, then half your friends were either Ukrainian or Polish and football players had names like Bronco Negurski.
During my late teens, I had one friend named Nick Olynick and another named Nick Olyarnick.
Olynick was short and dark; Olyarnick was tall and blond. Both were drop dead funny and huge laughers.
Kiniski the wrestling pro was fierce and fun.
