The fact that Czechia had 6 players on the ice when they scored against Canada, and nobody noticed until after the game was over goes shows how intense the game must’ve been. 😆 Luckily that didn’t cost Canada the game.

New blog post: U2 Releases ‘Days of Ash’ EP #U2

In Mitch Marner we trust (right Leafs fans? 😆). I’m so glad that ended quickly because I don’t think I could’ve handled it dragging out. #GoCanadaGo

All praise to our lord and savior Nick Suzuki for tying the game at the end of a long shift. #gocanadago

More details on “Songs of Ash” on U2songs.com.

U2 released a new EP called “Days of Ash”… seemingly out of nowhere as far as I was aware. Via U2Songs of course.

Tied is much better than down one headed in to the third period. #GoCanadaGo

Imagine if there’s enough snow to shut the city down tomorrow AND everyone has to stay home and watch Olympics? Canadian men’s hockey is on at 9:30am Saskatoon time. It’ll be a Christmas miracle.

Reunited with our golden doodle monster. 🐶 it’s more difficult to get Neville to pose than our kids ever were. (Except for that one kid. You know who you are 📸)

Taco Shop tacos and 🍺 for my #selfie a day for a year, day 180, Feb 14, 2026 edition. (Not pictured: tacos or beer because I was too hungry.)

No, I will not be checking out your “Substack”. I don’t tell people to check out my Buttondown, my Ghost, or my Transistor.

I ask them to read my newsletter, my blog, or listen to my podcast.

There’s something poetic about Team USA hockey having their goals overturned twice by the officials given all the rules their orange pumpkin leader they have thinking he doesn’t have to follow any rules.

This is the beautiful view of Italy we get during commercials for the Olympics on CBC Gem. 😍 (they do still show some commercials.)

What a goal by Macklin Celebrini. 1-0 Canada after the first. #GoCanadaGo

Debating which #book to start next: fiction or non-fiction?

Based on a random sampling of the last few #Fortnite games I’ve played, I think Fortnite might be the best way I can help educate Americans on what Canada and Canadians are actually like. Usually I just mute people, but it’s been fascinating to ask “why do you think that?”
