Those of you in Canada interested in same-sex pairs skating, keep your eyes out
 for a CBC special on J.P. Martin and Mark Hird, a pair of professional skaters
 who teamed up for this year's Gay Games.  Some of you may recall a post last
 February that described their being barred from skating at a public rink in
 Montreal.  They are an absolute privilege to watch.
