Skimming through my Gmail bulk folder, a mail caught my eye.
"Mikeintexas, I have a girl for you!"
It was from my old pal, Miguel Champagne, and he says this:

There was an attached photo:
She's really a little too skinny for my own personal taste, but hey, I'd be willing to "knite the destiny" with her...if that's what she really wants.
I AM pretty decent, if I do say so myself.
I'm game, just as long as she's not kin to Tatiana.
But first (if you've never seen or heard of the show), say hello to Corner Gas, the intro to the very first episode.
I recently found this delightful Canadian series on the superstation, WGN. It comes on Mondays-Thursdays at 11:00PM (CST) and two additional episodes are shown on Wed. nights, starting at 7:00. It also airs on Friday and Sunday nights. (actually, it comes on in the early mornings: check your local listings)
It's a simple little show with subtle humor (that'd be "humour" I suppose, since it's filmed in Canada! -grin-) that could be, I suppose, described as something like "Seinfeld in Mayberry".
The show revolves around the owner of a small town gas station in Dog River, Saskatchewan. Brent Leroy (played by the show's creator, Brent Butt) is the comic reading laid-back businessman, who has some surreal interpersonal relationships with his parents, his best friend Hank, his sole employee Wanda (who is also his real-life wife), the town's two inept police officers, plus the owner of the next door cafe, the Ruby. (and that character is played by Gabrielle Miller who makes my heart go pitter-patt...she's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous)
I was saddened (yes, really made me sad) to find out the show is ending its six year run at the end of this next season. Why do all good things end far too early?
