UPDATES on this and that

Taking a bit of a breather after the intese last couple of weeks ~
I feel very proud of how long I have come these past few months in this new life of mine, although the beginning of the "switch in career focus" was unsettled and very distracted - or so it appeared...
I am finding myself these days booking shows for next year. It looks like it is going to be solid from May on... will keep you posted as it is all confirmed.

Sad Losses ~
During these last couple of weeks we lost a couple of journalism greats.
Ed Bradley in the US, who I have loved to watch on 60 Minutes for a looooong time. A true groundbreaker, and engaging personality.
The other one, "controversial" Italian Oriana Fallaci... I must say, she has been the single, one, inspiration and female role model of my early years.
I "lost touch with her" - figuratively speaking - for a couple of decades, here in the faaaaaar west, but was fortunate enough to find at the Vancouver Main Library the copy of one of her books fro the mid 70's, A Man - highly recommend it - an intense and passion filled historical "novel" (?).
Once again, she had a great impact on me.
Althougt out of print, I managed to locate (for keeps) a pretty good looking copy in Toronto.

I am fortunate, and changed for having "known" them.
May they rest in peace in journalism heaven, exchanging great stories over tall lattes!

I remember Oriana Fallaci's interview of Ayatholla Khomeini. Read one of her books about unborn child, forgot the title.

a strong willed woman she was.

Hello Quasar dear,
lovely to have you pop in!


--------------- >>>> *

Hello Dear Rauf,
Yes, Oriana Fallacishe was a strong willed woman.
She was a brilliant and compassionate woman also.
She was a pioneer, and a true "feninist", in the purest sense of the concept, as she went and did!
Not like many other so-called/labeled feminists that give lip service to an ackward (at best) and warped cause
I believe in "equality/rights" for ALL human beings, regardles of gender or, gender preference... Age, Etc.

Hello Nasra
Nice to see you.
You too are a pioneer in your own way.
Great, great work you are doing!
