A pleasure to work with on the other side too. A sad loss.
Very saddened by this. She was always so lovely and kind when we’d meet at events back in my journalism days. A huge loss.

When his battalion was pinned down in the Battle of the Ancre Heights, James Richardson started playing his bagpipes and marching ahead as the Germans fired on him.

"They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving." 🔥

Good luck, Blue Jays fans. I enjoyed following the commentary here enough that I considered turning on the game to watch. But nah. Time for bed. I’ll check the score in the morning.
