Unlike Hozier, I like a little ice with my whiskey.

A glass with ice and whisky sits on a shelf next to a merry Christmas sign.

Just as our shovelling muscles were starting to relax, here comes more snow Saskatoon.

A winter storm warning from Environment and Climate Change Canada predicts hazardous conditions with snow, freezing rain, and strong winds for eastern regions in Saskatchewan.

Very rude of the washing machine to beep at me just as I finally sat down.


While searching for Xmas gift ideas, I stumbled on this Reddit thread with the best reviews of the Nintendo Switch Pro controller.



It should be illegal to schedule a U15 hockey practice for 9:15pm on a Friday night. Who is personally out to get me at Saskatoon Minor Hockey? 😆


It’s wild talking to my dad about how he got clients for financial services over his career vs how I get clients for my podcast editing business. “I met this guy from BC, Justin Jackson, because he listened to a podcast I did 10 years ago… he recommended me to a fitness guru in Utah.”


It’s so funny how a dog is basically speed running having a kid. Neville Dogbottom is ~5 months but now going through the puberty stage where his bark has dropped from a yippy tiny puppy to a deeper dog growl at times. And occasionally it cracks back to yips.


This is my must hear during the holidays song. The Edge’s jingle jangley outro makes me feel like I’m heading to the shops in Dublin for Xmas shopping and then meeting some friends at a pub for a pint.


Why yes, I am a 40 something white dude. What gave it away?

My month top artists in Apple Music with Noah Kahan taking most of them, U2 a couple, and The Lumineers with one. My 2024 Apple Music stats showing Stick Season by Noah Kahan as top song and album, and 17,356 minutes listened to.


It’s Wednesday but somehow feels like both a Monday and a Friday. I’ve seen multiple people reference this feeling today - is it the sudden change in temps over the last couple of days? Are there people in warmer climates who also are feeling weird Wednesday vibes?


I see this kind of post as a Canadian and honestly figured it could be about the United States?

Hey freelancers / sole proprietors / small biz owners (aka me!) - this is your monthly reminder that as much as you might be stressed about doing invoicing and think it’s going to take forever, it’s how you get paid.

I know it’s silly to need a reminder about this. My brain is dumb sometimes.


Somebody is pouting because somebody wouldn’t stop nipping at guests here for a meeting so somebody is stuck listening to the conversation with me in my office.

Nice!

My podcast completion rate from Pocket Casts was 69% in 2024

Shoutout to the Rosewood (? I can’t keep up with neighbourhood names) Leopold’s for the sweet Super Mario Xmas wrapping paper walls. I don’t know how long that took to do, but it was a nice change from typical bar vibes.


Hey you know what would be fun after a day in a cold rink? Why not go to another game in a slightly less cold rink this afternoon? 🥶

(I complain but I do enjoy it.)


Coolest green Zamboni ever?

Welcome to Hanley, Saskatchewan where it’s just above freezing while running the score clock. 🥶

A thermometer is displayed prominently in a hockey rink, showing the temperature at 1C as players skate in the background.
