My other piece today: I talked with Jeff Marek in the wake of leaving Sportsnet about kindness, about loss, about belonging, and about starting something new. He was really open with me about a lot of things, and we started with how hockey saved his life. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

If you want to read something bonkers but true, try Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany by Norman Kohler. Discusses drugs used by citizens, soldiers, and Hitler and his people. Got so bad for some soldiers that they decided to surrender rather than continue. Hitler's concoction was bat shit.
