All Things Considered
By Norm Park
Estevan Mercury Co-Editor
Norm Park is one of the most respected reporters and columnists within Saskatchewan. All Things Considered allows Park to reflect on current fads, and social conditions, ruminate on political pontifications and take a stab at sports commentary once in a while. He also may explore the implications of being married a long time to a suffering bride and other socially acceptable (occasionally unacceptable) subjects including dining habits.
