CBC Radio makes a stimulating background for the evening dishwashing ritual. Last night I heard a re-play of a January Ideas broadcast called “Closing the Book,” produced by Sean Prpick. I found myself going above-and-beyond my usual cleaning regime, once the dishes were washed up, so I could catch the whole program. The commentary in the program contains facts and information, opinions and predictions--all of which has been affecting my daily life, and certainly my career.
