Have you ever bought a car, and suddenly noticed that nearly every car you see is the same colour and style? Or, if you are pregnant, have you been surprised to see that it seems that everybody else is pregnant as well?

When did people start ending every conversation with “be safe. Keep yourself safe”? Am I the only one that wonders when it was decided that we are living in a time of war or zombie attacks? And why is it so incredibly sad to know that the enemy we’re being cautioned against is a disease too often spread to us by our own loved ones and ‘friends’?

It was now late 1970. I’d returned from Los Angeles and was hired back at CHUM as a producer by Program Director J. Robert Wood. I was working with Production Manager Warren Cosford, who’d replaced me when I left for LA in late January. Warren was a Winnipegger and a pretty cool guy.
