During @ronsexsmith.bsky.social wonderful show last night, he invited Melanie Doane on stage with her ukulele. They started playing “Sunny” when Ron suddenly suggested “we need some kids.” About 150 scampered down the aisles, ukuleles in hand & joined in. A tonic at the end of a hard week.

I’ve been proudly part of a Jewish family for more than 40 years. My late mother in law called me her adopted Jewish son. Wishing my wife & her extended family (mine too) a good fast on Yom Kippur, this most solemn day in the Jewish calendar. A day of reflection, renewal & hope.

Another eerie sunset over the Big Smoke due to the big smoke from the wildfires in Western Canada and northern Ontario.

Fabulous package arrived today from a European friend who is a huge 🇨🇦 @LFC fan like me. The program is from May’s final Liverpool match honouring the champs. The scarf is from Klopp’s farewell match in 2024. The first was stolen in the mail but my pal found another. Just brilliant! #YNWA

Gone more than a quarter century now.
Honoured to bear his name.

On Victoria Day weekend 44 years ago today, I began my CBC career in Calgary. Now that I’m retired, I’ve been appreciating my good fortune to have seen the world, told thousands of stories & shared my belief in and love for…public broadcasting. 🎙️🖥️🇨🇦

A special Passover as Joel tastes matzoh for the first time. And yes, he liked it.
It’s a Miracle!!
Happy Pesach to all who are celebrating. ✡️

My final 2 weeks at CBC & thinking about how long I’ve been connected to the place. Made my first appearance on TV almost 60 years ago. Sang on “The Tommy Hunter Show” 3 times in 1970/71. Canada’s public broadcaster is part of my DNA.

For a time in the late 80s & early 90s, my brother & 2 sisters and I all worked at CBC at the same time in different areas.
But one night in February 1993, my sister Denise on Parliament Hill, me in Montreal had stories on The National one after the other. Pretty cool, maybe even a first.

Posting some memories as I wind down my CBC career. This is from the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Donovan Bailey was defending champion in the 100. He failed to reach the final after battling a virus. He felt he’d let Canada down. But I told him “you’ll always be an Olympic champion.”

It’s strange how having been to a place dealing with calamity & tragedy, makes the feeling of concern go a little bit deeper. Our 2016 trip to Los Angeles & Southern California was so great.
