Bright sunshine and blue sky through the day helped to maintain an uplifting feeling. While sunny, it was cool, but refreshing when I went for a walk to the drugstore and back. Along the way, I had a great chat with a neighbour -- including the dog and cat <smile>. I went for dinner at a friends and the walk there and back was cold. Once the sun went down, the temperature moved closer to freezing point. Warm jacket and gloves helped me to remain warm while walking at a brisk pace.
Today we lost an amazing man, Alex Trebek. while most people know him as the host of "Jeapardy" for 37 years, his career began with CBC in Ottawa. There he did various announcing jobs and hosted "Reach for the Top" a Canadian high school quiz show. In recent years he supported and worked on an annual youth geography quiz event for Canadian Geographic Society. His recent appearances in Canada occurred even while he was ill. He stated that as long as he wasn't dead, he would honour his commitments since people were expecting him. He was a proud Canadian who grew up in a bilingual household. His smile and support of knowledge -- trivial or otherwise -- will be sorely missed.
Given the days events, I have an answer and question for the blog. The song that made Merv Griffin (songwriter) many millions of dollars. What is the theme song to Jeopardy? He said the song was written as a lullaby for his young son. Go figure! Stay safe. Enjoy!
