As a gift for his fiftieth birthday, Suzanne Roy-Seguin helped her husband, Yves Seguin, realize his dream of experiencing the launch of a Space Shuttle. I spoke with them about how they experienced this incredible event given that Yves is blind and Suzanne is legally blind – both from Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).

I’m looking for you to provide any of the following information:

• What is your definition of honesty?

Sheree Fitch is the author of more than twenty children’s picture and poetry books, a young adult book called Gravesavers, and several plays.

During a conversation with Sheree for Just One More Book (another Podcast I produce with my wife, Andrea), Sheree introduced an idea she has called The Theology of Nonsense. I had to have it on Electric Sky.

Thanks to Jill Pyle for alerting me to this…

Canada AM ran a piece this morning about the ‘Red Fridays’ organizers having created some scrapbooks to document rallies they organized and inspired, and media coverage they attracted. The scrapbooks have been sent to Canadian troops in Afganistan.

During the segment, CTV split the screen to show the interview with Red Friday co-organizer Lisa Miller in one window, and pages of the scrapbook in the other. It was hard to miss my yellow jacket when they showed a photograph of me interviewing Lisa and co-organizer Karen Boire for an episode of Portrait.

Best wishes to all of our troops for a safe return, and thank you to all of Canada’s veterans!
