Gil Deacon Show

It's Gil Deacon again.
Hi Gil Deacon.
Hi Howard, you sexy Hebrew man.

I taped her show yesterday and other than being shushed a couple of times it was a lot of fun.
I deserved it, I was trying to say too much in too little time and my enthusiasm got me Gil-Shushed.
That's cool. I like her very much and I think she does a great job.
I was part of a panel with Luba Goy and my pal Kenny Robinson and it was pretty funny.
Check it out Monday on CBC at 11am and 2pm.
I'll remind you.

Deacon Notes:
I invited Randee and her Mother RR Bubby Barbara to sit in the audience, and they seemed to have a good time.
Randee said I didn't embarrass her and that I looked okay except when the camera was shooting from behind and exposed the growing bald area in the back of my head.
Hey, I'm old and hair doesn't last forever.
I must say she looked great. She was wearing this cool long downtown-coat kind of thing and was turning some heads on the street. Her Mom's a good-looking old broad too, so except for my shiny pate we made a nice trio!

After the show we went over to the Intercontinental where we had some lunch and who do you think we see?
No not George Strombopoopalous.(Although he's got that big-ass billboard right next to the hotel.)
Yes, Jean Chretian, former Prime Minister of this whole country, that's who.
Very surreal.

We walk into the dining area and he's just sitting there, hanging with 3 buds and grooving to some tunes on his Ipod.
Okay the Ipod part is BS but he was just as casual as can be.
As we came in I noticed there was some get together for former Justice Roy Mcmurtry so Mr C must have been there for that.
I never cared for the FPM's politics but it was cool seeing him hanging out sipping java.
Very Canadian moment too.
There was just one Secret CSIS looking guy having a coffee a few tables away. Also very casual.

If this was any former U.S President the place would be surrounded by guys talking into their sleeves and me and my chicks would have never gotten in.
Anyway when he left my Mother-in-Law gave him a wave and he waved back. As I mentioned she was looking good so instantly I think,"What if she and Jean hit if off, he divorces his wife, converts, marries Barb and then next Passover the former PM is over to my house having some Manishevitz and trying to figure out the four questions."
Do I have to invite the CSIS guy?
