Was collecting “Friends of CBC” signatures in support of CBC funding for the next election outside the Stuart McLean show. While it was a cold night, the folks in the audience were warm hearted and enthusiastic about signing. I loved their spirit, and their appreciated my volunteering.

On the weekend the son and I had talked for a few minutes about his own prowess and passion for baseball, specifically pitching. The son talked about leadership and trust on his team that is so helpful in his own high performance.
The father heard about the chat and liked the idea of capturing some of his son’s experiences on video as he develops.My moments with the father were a bonding, door opening conversation with someone who minutes before had just been a stranger…..
