News this week of Bob Barker's passing at the age of 99. The Big Wheel has spun and almost landed on $1.00. He has now made it to the great showcase in the sky. In his honour, I link to my poem Consolation. It's one of my bittersweet favourites. I grew up watching The Price Is Right. I had Bob Barker in mind when I wrote the poem. And the Johnny referred to in the poem is of course, the inimitable Johnny Olson.
