RIP hockey great Borje Salming, 71, who succumbed to Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Born in Sweden, he won two world championship medals playing for the national team. He did everything in his 23-year career except win a Stanley Cup. He made his North American debut in 1973 with Toronto, for whom he played 16 seasons. He holds six career and single season Maple Leafs records including most career points by a defenseman, most career goals by a defenseman, most career assists (any position), most assists in a season by a defenseman, and best career plus-minus. He was an All-Star six straight seasons. He was the first Swedish (and European) player to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. His #21 was retired by the Leafs. He was a dad of six. Awesome, sir. Facts from Wiki, photo from Google Images:

And his muse, from GI:

Class dismissed.

The forecast was eerily accurate, claiming the light rain would cease mid-afternoon. The floating book shop was delayed two hours and I displayed only ten percent of the wares. My thanks to the woman who bought a book in Russian, and to the gentleman who took home The Natural by Bernard Malamud; and to those who purchased books on Thanksgiving on Bay Parkway.
