Please permit me a little braggy-brag. This weekend, I won the 2102 Atlantic Journalism Awards gold medal for sports reporting (of all things). It was for a story I did last year for CBC Radio as part of their Hockey Day in Canada coverage. You can listen to it here.

I went to Halifax for the awards gala. It was a bit overwhelming, but lovely to see so many of the great people I’ve worked with over the years. Before I left for the trip, I had a little chat with Henry.

Henry: I wish you didn’t have to go to Halifax.

Me: It’s just for one night. Hardly long enough to miss each other.

Henry: I know. I hope you win. If you don’t, the whole trip will be a complete waste of time.
