Hello, and thanks for stopping by the Three Thing podcast. I try once a week to notice without the help of advertisers or algorithms three things that made me happy or grateful. This week: 

1. Life & Death valley -- The MacKinnon Ravine is a place to stop and read the plaques.

2. Casting a spell? -- Some second thoughts about a piece of campaign literature.

3. Venn diagrams -- The real life version, that is. 

As always, the music is the best part of the podcast. It's from Edmonton pianist Brendan McGrath. The end bells are courtesy of Edmonton's Hephaistos, the sculptor in whom the forge remains strong, Slavo Cech.
