I have an interest in storytelling – including in the context in which it can potentially find a place at the MCHS 2015 reunion. We’ve briefly referred to storytelling, as it relates to the MCHS 2015 reunion, at recent posts: Discussion continues regarding DJ vs MC question, live music, and projected attendance at MCHS 2015 […]
In a previous post, I’ve shared views from Speaker #7 concerning the DJ vs MC question. Stephanie Shaar (Speaker #7) has mentioned that it’s just as well to mention her by name, as it makes it easier to keep track of who said what when you have a name rather than a number. I sometimes […]
I’ve recently borrowed from the Toronto Public Library The Story of San Michele, first published in 1929, by Axel Munthe. I borrowed the book because I remember reading it when I was a student at Malcolm Campbell High School. I read a fair amount of non-fiction and fiction when I was in high school. Some […]
I’ve been reading books about the 1950s and 1960s. 1959 Among them is: 1959: The Year that Changed Everything (2009). Chapter 20, “Seeing the Invisible,” concerns the work of the photographer Robert Frank, with a focus on the latter’s The Americans (2008).

In the following Q & A with Graeme Decarie, I’ve added some headings for ease in reading of the text. Jaan Pill: You worked for CBC and private radio for quite a few years. I would be interested in your comments (for my website) about a recent article by Linden MacIntyre: Why I Left The CBC […]
An Oct. 22, 2014 New York Times article is entitled: “What if age is nothing but a mind-set?” The article describes an experiment in which a group of subjects in their senior years, who had graduated from high school many decades earlier, were provided an intensive array of sensory cues – such as music from the 1950s, […]
I much enjoy reading about evidence-based research, which occasionally gives rise to conclusions that may appear counterintuitive. An Oct. 29, 2014 Atlantic article is of interest, in this regard. The article is entitled: “Why Middle-Class Americans Can’t Afford to Live in Liberal Cities: Blue America has a problem: Even after adjusting for income, left-leaning metros […]
