HAPPY "MON" DAY

Monday is "Presidents' Day" in the U.S.…"Family Day" in Ontario….. "Louis Riel Day" in Manitoba and "Islander Day" in Prince Edward Island…….Of course here in Nova Scotia it’s...."Mon" Day.

Some Americans are upset with NBC coverage of the winter games.....watching the Olympics this afternoon.....CTV has men's downhill......NBC has cross-country skiing....now I know what WTF means.


People who drink at least two sugary pop or soda a week have an increased risk of developing cancer of the pancreas, and researchers suspect the culprit is sugar, a new study shows……what isn’t bad for you…..I think we're down to broccoli and tree bark.

Red grapes and dark chocolate join blueberries, garlic, soy, and teas as ingredients that starve cancer while feeding bodies,…….just in time for valentines…….of course the study was funded by Gallo and Hersheys.

If you have relatives in the U.K….perhaps you should touch base…..A ticketholder has won 56 million pounds on the EuroMillions lottery, easily becoming the country's biggest ever lottery win………92 million canadian……..that’s a lot of bangers and mash.

I found a Valentine card that said, "Everything I have is yours."..... So I bought it for Steven Harper.

Feb 15…Canada's new national Maple Leaf flag was first raised on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on this day in 1965……caused quite a flap…(sigh)
