It's another snowy day in Canada - we're expecting a large amount of snow (not as much as our Southern Ontario friends got yesterday, but enough). Another Canadian pastime is hockey, and the ever famous Mark Messier turns 61 today.
Did you know, he's the only player to have won the cup with 2 different teams as captain.
It's also the birthday of the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh series of books.
The Hundred Acre Wood and its denizens were the brainchild of Alan Alexander Milne, and he would have been 140 years old today!
It would have also been Oliver Hardy's 130th birthday today.
Ollie, one half of the famous "Laurel & Hardy" comedy act was the portly fairly straight main to the tall simpleton of Laurel. I love their shows growing up. Simple humour that is absolutely timeless.
