Terry, I was at a training in Los Angeles many years ago, and went to dinner with a group of folks from the training, one of whom was a woman from Eastern Michigan. We bonded over CBC tv shows for kids, including Mr. Dressup & The Friendly Giant. It was actually pretty cool!

I'm grateful for those stalwart souls like @susancampbell.bsky.social, who watched, so I wouldn't have to. #Davos
P.S. After yesterday's enthusiastic response, hard to imagine that Mark Carney could look any better, yet here we are.
Take care of yourself! (Maybe check your right ear, just to be safe?)
