Thanks to Kathy Ketman for this news from a friend in Glasgow:
“things are positive here in glasgow despite the scare at the airport (modern life). people are focusing on the qualities of mr smeaton (a glaswegian … who knocked one of the attackers to the ground) rather than thinking about the scary but fairly small risks. thanks for checking on us.”
Quotes re mr smeaton “A braveheart for a modern Scotland that treats terrorism with a stiff right hook rather than a stiff upper lip.”

Rowing with Roz

I have scheduled an interview Roz Savage, who has rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and is leaving San Francisco in July to row—solo—across the Pacific, in a bid to be the first woman to do so. How does Roz do it? And why? How big is her “rowboat”? What does she take along to eat and drink? Why doesn’t Roz use a chase boat? And how in the world does she keep from going mad with boredom? Here’s a 15-minute interview.
The upcoming half-hour interview will be broadcast live on BlogTalkRadio on Saturday, July 7, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific time.
