The 'have all day" is your word on that.
Thank you very much for the blessing. My original post was just a brief line of thought, and I'd considered the potential for negative reaction, but regardless...
What I have all day to work on and post is much more reprehensible, but that was to be expected. It truly is the dream project! Best ever.
No one else wanted the job, apparently. Probably not even Mike Rowe, if he had been offered.
It really takes a special kind of deplorably-determined character to stick with it.
"Don't give up the ship."
The five words mean so much more.
Never give up. Never surrender.
Well, Somebody's Gotta Do It.
Then as it turns out, because I learn a little something new every day, I see that Bob Cole was a swell guy. He made lemonade from lemons, and just like that...
A knee injury suffered from playing soccer put Cole in the hospital for approximately six months as a youth. It was during this time that he would listen to Foster Hewitt calling games on the radio and developed an interest in becoming a sports announcer.[2]>>>
In early 2016, Cole had a cameo at the end of Simple Plan's album Taking One for the Team, calling a fictional hockey game involving the band; he concluded the call with, "Oh my goodness, can you believe it? Just like that, Simple Plan have won the game!".[37] (Wiki)
Excellent. Same timeline too, because this simple plan began in early 2016. 🤔
I'll say again,
RIP, Bob!
Agreed. And I thought 54 years was bad.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!
/wrong sports announcer. 8<)
Thank you for your effort.
Montreal has nothing to brag about either, but 1993 is at least something. Has Toronto even been to a Cup Final since 1967?...
NY Islanders set a record that will never be broken..19 straight playoff series wins. A team will have to be going for their 5th straight Cup to beat that mark. Took another great dynasty, Edmonton Oilers, to beat them..
