Thanksgiving - Wine, Turkey, Snow, Hockey...

Bonjour,

Slowly adding Thanksgiving-themed stories and links ahead of the weekend.

Skip the Turkey this year?

A few great tips on how to explain some generals differences between old world and new world wine to your friends - perhaps over Thanksgiving? Great 'Decanter' video here.

Sidenote: Award-winning journalist. The humble and friendly reporter who I sat across from all summer in Glasgow - the chief reporter will Herald Scotland it turned out - has done some amazing stories on human rights this year. Remembering just now that she also flew to Libya to meet with Saif al-Islam Muammar Al-Gaddafi.

Monday greetings

Hi all,

October is here, which means an autumn - or lack there of - consisting of snow and sub-zero temperatures is again the status quo in Calgary.

Hope you're well wherever you are. Much love.

Things that caught my eye - and captured my attention - today:

a - Bentham vs. Hume.

b - Norway. The best place to live on planet Earth.
Note: Canada - Fourth place. That's not even a bronze medal.

c - Throw down your stigma says the BBC. The real Beirut...

d - The London Times introduces the world to N. Korea; Journalists with four-day travel visas.
Behold: Reporting and photojournalism at its best.
