This week’s “Life as a Lemon” newsletter started off a little 💩, but it ended on a high note. I think? Issue 32 is out now.
Tomorrow’s Life as a 🍋 newsletter is all scheduled and ready to go. You can subscribe here if you’d like some tart thoughts from a Canadian podcast nerd (that’s me) in your inbox most Tuesdays.

The best thing about watching a movie like this is it helps me appreciate good heist movies and not just anyone can make one.
Making FIFA give him a “peace prize” medal and trophy is embarrassing for the USA. I almost have second-hand embarrassment because our country happens to share a continent with him. 🤡😆🤣

New blog post: Riffing off Gruber’s excellent “Bad Dye Job” with a much cheesier title Walking on Broken Glass.
Neville is a 65lb dog who has no problem trying to climb our Xmas tree to get dried orange decorations, but is also confused and scared by his chew toys being in this small basket. 😝
I believe that video games are for fun and you can just enjoy them. But I still feel a little shame each time I fire up Fortnite while I have Red Dead Redemption 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sitting unfinished in my video game library.
