Blue’s coach Jim Montgomery is an ass for claiming any knowledge of how and when Scheifele was hurt. No wonder the Blues are playing like a bunch of goons. #NHLJets

Running a business that earns mostly in USD but has mostly CAD expenses makes it hard to quickly calculate a profit and loss statement and tell if I’m actually making money. 😪

If I brought in $5,000USD in June—what was that in CAD by the time it hit my bank account? #overthinkingbrain

I don’t know why it works one game and not the next, but I love when the Jets just focus on playing good hockey while the Blues just keep playing meathead hockey. #NHLJets

Question for the dog owners: I see dog beds for sale at Costco, etc. but our dog, Neville, almost always prefers to lay on the tile. Is a dog bed a waste? Plus he’s got FOMO so I don’t know if he’d ever use it. (We crate him at night.)

Here’s the YouTube edit of my conversation with Tim yesterday about pricing services like podcast edits or web projects. It’s been fun to talk and recognize the 15+ (?!) years of experience I’ve had working with clients, always learning new things with each one.

I went for a walk and while taking this picture, Neville 🐶 almost broke my arm running after a bird.

A large puddle of water next to a highway with bright blue skies overhead. A power pole is visible in the distance.

wtf Jets? I know you’re missing a couple folks, but still. Yikes. #NHLPlayoffs
