Interesting. I have some at work so I’ll get some sniffs in when I go on Monday.

Tonight’s supper is fish. I just blew my nose and got a big taste of fish that lasted a mere second.

I’m getting over Covid and for the first time ever I have completely lost my sense of smell and taste. Like I can’t even get a whiff of a scent even when my nose is clear. Weirdly though, for a split second when blowing my nose, I get a very strong taste of whatever I’ve eaten most recently.

Heartbreaking. But those Canadian boys played so well. I’m so proud of them. So proud to be Canadian. #Olympics

Very on brand for an American to use his whiteness to escape accountability

If you voted to defund the CBC, you better get your ass back to bed. No hockey for you.

I for one am unbelievably proud of them!

Ngl, the whole curling controversy feels like exactly what I deal with every day teaching junior high. On so many levels.

As someone who knows nothing of hockey rules, that call was annoying.

After watching the Olympics all morning, my cbc gem app had completely crashed.

As someone who definitely always cries at Olympic opening ceremonies I don’t know why I thought I could watch these on my phone while at my son’s soccer practice.

I just had one of those wonderful nights where I could stay up and finish reading the book I was reading because I was so into it.

But now I’m too wired to sleep.

It’s just a misunderstanding. See, they’re actually Bored of Peace.

When it’s a snow day and you put out your back trying to get the snow pants you need to go outside. You couldn’t even survive to get to shoveling.

Why yes I am turning 40 this year. Why do you ask?

I stepped in to help coach our school’s soccer team this past year and I essentially managed to find my way into main coach territory. (I’m qualified to occasional assistant coach at best). But man. I can’t stop my coach voice as a spectator now at my sons’ games.

That is. I think we’ve even seen up to HKK or at least HK maybe? I think we’re on the Hs. H’s and G’s seem to be the most common on the road.

Right? I would definitely be the weird community member in that case!

This feels like a very annoying use of someone’s time. I’d feel bad for calling about that.

Maybe someone is getting a new plate soon (or recently) and they’ll see this post? lol.

Strange question alert: is there a way to find out what beginning sequence of license plates are being issued in Nova Scotia right now? My son and I always look at and talk about license plates and were curious.

Only a few hours of wrapping and I’ve gone through an entire roll of tape already.

Has anyone seen actual real maple butter around Dartmouth or Cole Harbour? I don’t even know where I might start looking.

Joseph Scrimshaw tweet from 2022:

"Daylight Saving Time is increasingly hard to notice when my digital devices are like, 'What? Nothing happened. We know what time it is.'

And my stove is left blinking and screaming, 'IT HAPPENED! TIME SHIFTED UNNATURALLY! THEY'RE ALL LYING! ONLY I KNOW! ONLY I REMEMBER!' "

Ah, it's that time again...

Good mourning, fellow Jays fans. An extra hour to reflect on physics and fickle fate and then reset our hearts for hope, like love, is a muscle. #BlueJays

Um, did a hockey game just break out? #BlueJays
