5 things Chris Hadfield did that amazed us

This is a compilation of videos from Chris Hadfield during his 6 month stint on the ISS which I found on the CBC News website. Canadians were enthralled during  his time as station commander by the incredible pictures he shared with his frequent tweets and the many video conferences he participated in from orbit during which he was questioned by school children and others. From singing a song written for the occasion by Ed Robertson of the Bare Naked Ladies and his homage to David Bowie to videos where he showed off some Canadian delicacies sent to him by a re-supply ship, Hadfield's conduct fueled an authentic sense of national pride as demonstrated by his humor and civility.

 Way to go Commander Hadfield... and welcome home, eh?

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
