Calgary morning radio news guy (CHQR, I have a name-twin on CKUA--he is younger, better looking and much better known). Old enough to be in WAB HoF and a great-grandfather. Posts/lurks on writing, chess, whisky, and birds, not necessarily in that order.

Greetings friends real and virtual.
I hate the thought of a blank page, but I tend not to post often. Just to show there's an actual person attached to this account, here's a few of my favourite things.

@grantstovel.bsky.social Thanks for the folo, Grant! Just to be clear I am your CKUA colleague's name-twin. I do morning news at QR Calgary. I won't be offended if you made a mistake and unfollow, but I hope you don't. I'm collecting AB media types.

This is the leather chessboard Donna made me to use for lunchtime chess at work.
The Airdrie Antique Mall price sticker on the box alleges the men were handmade in France. I'm skeptical, but $35 is a decent price for a work chess set.
