MacKinnon, upon receiving a stuffed animal after a gold medal loss. 😅🇨🇦

That Sam-Roberts-backed CANvsUSA montage before the gold medal game was something else! I’m fired up! 🇨🇦

I skipped a workout to watch the hockey game. I think my heart rate was higher sitting on the couch. Holy! Gold Medal game should be a doozy! 🇨🇦

Valentines in 2026…

Roses are red,
Tree leaves are green;
I question our love,
Did you even look at that meme!?

Oh yeah. Flying in style. 🤣

Same place as the missing pieces, I assume. *gestures to the world*

A full grey recycling bin, beat to pieces.

The ol’ grey bin has seen better days…

Been an up and down weekend…

They were *excellent* cats.

LISTEN: Crash Says Goodbye to Long-Time Family Pet - Mornings with Crash and Sarah Betts on Move - Sound Bites | iHeart <p>Got nearly 17 years with Wayne (including almost 14 with his best-bud Garth). Party On...</p>

Erin and I adopted 2 cats in May, 2009. ONe Black, One a Yellow Tabby. We named them Wayne & Garth. Lost Garth in 2022, and yesterday, had to say goodbye to Wayne. The house feels a little empty all of a sudden. He was the best.
Party on, Wayne.

Got them on my list now after reading this. I’m a sucker for a crime thriller.

First read of 2026. I started it late last year, but a busy sched kinda got in the way after the first 5 chapters or so. Picked it back up, in earnest, in the new year and could barely put it down. Stayed up way too late last night because I just had to finish it!

My youngest daughter’s walking-pad set-up. So proud.

Just finished the first season of The Lowdown. Ethan Hawke kills it. (Always does!) Definitely worth a watch! Just got renewed for a 2nd season!

Happy New Year!

Put away a few over the Holidays? Bring your empties to Willie O’Ree tomorrow morning (Jan 3) between 8a-11a, and my daughter’s ringette team will take ‘em! Thanks in advance!

New year, new me…right after I eat what’s left of the snacks/cheese/desserts in this house.

New York can have its ball drop, my new year will arrive as soon as I finish this Costco-sized container of Peanut M&Ms…

My Favourite listens of 2025! These are the albums I returned to most throughout the year - some more than others. I’m sure I missed lots, and I know I left some great music off this particular list… but whaddya gonna do!? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy New Year!
What’d YOU listen to most in 2025?

Chips of the year. #Bestof2025

Them: “What’d you do for Christmas?”
Me (with a mouthful of cheese): “Eat.”

Merry Christmas!

I just apologized to a mannequin I bumped into.

I recognize the irony.

At the mall for an emergency Christmas jammies exchange (one kid outgrew the size we bought).

Lotta dudes here.
