So sad, so good, so young. RIP Gord. To our UK friends, if you don't know the Hip check out the previous post by tc in Toronto. By the way, nice post tc ... sad times. And for all out there, getting old is not f or the weak, it takes strength.
 
I am currently listening to the Game of Thrones audio books. Roy Dotrice does all the character voices. He was a truly remarkable actor
