Sometimes I don’t like a short story. Sometimes, it launches me into a rant about why I don’t like particular styles of writing. Today, is one of those days.
On a happier note, at the end of this post is a video (hopefully it works!) of my first television book segment. Feel free to skip to minute 26 to see me, or, catch up on Calgary’s news from Wednesday if you want to watch the whole thing.

For some reason I can’t watch the TV video, but I’m sure it’s very good. You’ve had lots of practice with your videos!
