dewlineSo...fiddling with Manga Studio at the moment, and trying for a one-off sketch of the Tenth Doctor. And my mind's not really "on" that right now. Seems as if the week was trying for a bookend-type meditation on mortality, between first and then James Travers.
I met Mr. Travers all of one time, by way of a CBC-hosted "town hall" session that sprang up after Russell Mills was dropped from the Ottawa Citizen. If memory serves, the topic that day was concentration of media service ownership. That's a problem that has long bedevilled Canadian society, and looks to keep on going in that way for the next few decades. I thanked him for showing up, and that was pretty much it.
The guy had some serious "on the ball" brains and I would find myself in agreement with his positions on more topics than not. And even where I disagreed, I had to admit that he had his logic researched and well-marshalled to the best extent any newspaper columnist could.
I'm going to miss reading his work.
