‘Le Tour’ 2010 is done.
If you have to ask, ‘Which Tour?’, then you haven’t spent every fore-noon for three weeks each July parked in front of your TV, watching the world’s greatest cycling spectacle: ‘Le Tour de France.’
And what an event it is! Sure, cycling racing is, at the same time both grueling and beautiful, but the pictures are nothing short of spectacular.

French Radio: Ad Lib
In the summer of 2004, during a continent-wide Acadia gathering, I had volunteered to go back to radio. I would produce and present daily, live morning programs on a new local French station (which would eventually become a permanent project). Check out CKRH - Radio Halifax Métro .
As with most of the radio programs I had presented in my career, I would work alone. This time, however, I had to face a new challenge: I had never spun CDs before, my commercial radio experience having been ‘way back in the days of vinyl records! (Question from the younger generation: “Daddy, what’s 'vinyl'?”)
After basic instruction by Pierre, the chief technician, on cueing and playing CDs and on the sound mixer, I felt ready.
