Everything feels like it is dead or dying, in the literal and melodramatic sense of the word.
I have a summer cold and it won't quit.
It feels like where I work is going up in flames. One of my favourite journalists retires this week and I don't know whether I'll send this or not.
Rick MacInnes-Rae,
You often thank us for listening, but we rarely thank you for speaking.
For speaking, for asking hard questions, for making some of the most powerful journalism I have ever heard on the airwaves of CBC Radio.
Thank you for your incredibly powerful tribute at the very end of the last episode of Dispatches.
I didn't have the nerve, or the disposition, to call or write when it went off the air, but I do now.
I'll never forget the strange sadness I felt when I first heard that program was cancelled,
and the even stranger brand of melancholy when I heard you signed off, "We brought you the world."
I never imagined someone could write such a fitting tribute to a phenomenal show.
But then again, there aren't very many people like Rick MacInnes-Rae in the world. went off the air.
Write like drunken poets!
It has been a delightful surprise every time I've stumbled upon you guest hosting various programs, but I imagine it's never been quite the same for you.
