Real adulting is ordering takeout because things were too chaotic with work and school pick ups, then immediately cooking dinner so you're ahead of tomorrow's inevitable busyness.
Uh oh, the dreaded man-cold strikes again, hahaha.
New to me, just discovered yesterday. Think I'm going to pre-order the vinyl!
Post a game you remember playing that no one else remembers.
Glad the kid and missus are learning to ski but, for a BC boarder, these Ontario hills are brutally short.
Can't believe that @canadaland.com has better analysis than NYT Daily on Venuzulan oil geopolitics - one cannot simply 'turn on / off spigot' with heavy crude requiring in-situ extraction, this isn't Saudi light, sweet or even American shale fracking.
Apropos of nothing, wondering if there is a (German) word for catastrophizing but where one is justified and maybe underselling the risks...

An hour into an hour and a half drive, realized I forgot my jacket in the rush to pack the car. Was going to be a game time decision whether I went snowboarding while the kid & missus have their first ski lesson of the season but I guess that decides it.
It is currently snowing at the mountain.
At least publicly, it seems like the US 'threats' being planned for are in-direct / spillover.
But wonder if there is any additional red-team thinking of withdrawing from NPT and adopting strategic ambiguity posture. Seems mostly downside risk but surely some CDN gov/mil body is gaming it out.
Introducing the kid to the Clash! (On vinyl, he's probably heard some on the car radio.)
Just listened to an Oct 2023 episode of Across the Movie Aisle where they discuss how axolotls would be the next ‘trend animal’ for kids and I keep thinking about how much axolotl stuff my 8yo has asked for this year. #ceruleanblue
Too be fair, this wasn’t his first intro to Drew’s work. We read my copy of ‘Set to Sea’ together, because I have a soft spot for pirates.
My wife brought home some Margo Maloo books for our 8yo having no idea that @drewweing.bsky.social’s Journal Comic was my introduction to webcomics decades ago and the randomness of the internet is melting my brain a bit.
Har har.
The kiddo attended a grade 3 Halloween party last week, his first kid non-birthday party party.
Apparently he was so fed up with the zombie music and dancing, he got them to play some Herb Alpert to change things up. Couldn't be prouder, hahaha.
The kiddo was wrecked when he realized there would be no parade but this post-season run made a new baseball fan. What a battle, oh, so close.
Definitely one of my Top 5 All-Time desert island picks.
Every. Single. Time.
The base running in this game is going to give me an ulcer.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
As fuck.
But, also, just regular middle aged. Sigh.
Time, she marches on...
I want to get the Employment 20th anniversary sooooooo much! Hahaha.
It was Avalanches - Since I Left You, for the record. #punintended
There's nothing like going to a record store to browse and unexpectedly finding an album on your wantlist that's been out of print for years.
Been actively listening to more podcasts from the 'Canadian right' to balance my naturally more progressive-technocratic leanings but find them so intellectually dishonest.
Why can't they disagree with policies without strawman arguments?!?
