Félicitations, Mont Farlagne. Love that place.

Bluebird day in the Green Mountains at Jay Peak.

I’m not here to make friends. We drive through Maine to shave 400kms and 3 hrs off a round-trip to visit our daughter. We’ve long come to New England for vacation and our kids’ sports. I’m not going to stop.

Nothing like a crisp night air and a groomer’s light atop atop a mountain.

We have two ski days in Vermont to go, with a QC-ME crossing on Sunday to come. With 340 inches of snow to date I’m not sure we’ll see any ice at all. 3/3

Love New England, especially rural Maine, the harbours, sea ports, Boston and the ski resorts. The country stores, gas stations, diners and shops all have friendly owners & staff who greet you and see you off warmly. 2/3

Since Labour Day weekend we’ve entered the U.S. 10 times: 5 from NB, 4 from QC, 1 from overseas. Today we crossed from NB (Calais/St. Stephen!), & QC and the latter was proper chat & humour with our daughter giving the USCBP agent restaurant recos in nearby Sherbrooke. 1/3

Lol’ing at all the hot takes on the women’s Olympic downhill.

Even a CBCer tweeting up a storm from Italy obviously doesn’t watch ski racing.

I mean…. Too easy:

That time we met Canada’s grande dame Olympic. Nancy Greene Raine.

Curious to know the child and youth advocate’s opinion on other social media platforms (i.e. Instagram). Their negative effect on young people and teens, especially young girls, is well documented. Is @susanholtnb.bsky.social and GNB continuing to use it for messaging?

While @ctvnewsatlantic.bsky.social posted on X that the NB government won’t be posting on X anymore, I’m curious to see CTV Atlantic hasn’t posted here yet.

Miracle: The Boys of ‘80 on Netflix was great viewing this Friday night.

America in a corner.

East and West at a crossroads.

Hockey, and the Olympics, in a simpler time.

Looking forward to Mark Carney deplaning in Ottawa to the strains of Rush’s “New World Man”.

Wherein a blind trust meets a Prince’s trust lol.

Boxing Day in London,UK.

Christmasy in London everywhere we turn.

The optician who’s opened a shop on Pizza Corner in Halifax must see something many others don’t.

Shades of Christmas.

Couple of great musical episodes this week. A couple of mentions of Hubbards, NS. That’s the home of the legendary Shore Club.

As I listen to the pod, Kathleen Edwards is playing. Saw her supporting Matt Mays there this summer.

Same here. Listened for years (Toronto - Andy Barry), Hance Colbourne in Saint John was good too. I haven’t really listened at all for many years, save for the occasional interview. Yesterday was a fluke when we were driving.

I go to podcasts now, US and Canadian.

This morning, listening to the local show, councillor Greg Norton was interviewed about a proposed data centre to be located in an industrial park. Greg spoke as well as a local pol would, the host had a few good questions, one opponent & ZERO industry people on.

Typically poor CBC.

I don’t watch At Issue. I don’t watch CBC/NW at all. I listen to the Front Burner podcast with @jaymepoisson.bsky.social occasionally and it’s all woke and/or one-sided.

Same with the little mornings shows. Can the producers not get multiple viewpoints together?

Been wondering when Kelly would be back on. Great to hear.

I’ve been to the Old City and I’ve tucked a note into a
crack in the Western Wall.

I’m no fan of Trump the man, and I’m sceptical of the lasting effect of this deal, but this war needed to end.

I pretty much follow only news sources and journalists here. Looking at some of the lefties who “moved here” or whatever… Pure echo chamber.

Appreciate you checking in on me.

Absolutely ludicrous that Tennis Canada caved to the mob and closed the Davis Cup in Halifax to spectators.

A Canadien so great; a Canadian so humble. In all he said and did over such a remarkable life he passed us all a torch.

Condolences to his family.

RIP, Ken Dryden.

Follow Up: Did Malcolm Gladwell Need To Apologise for Trans Stance? Podcast Episode · The Real Science of Sport Podcast · 2025-09-04 · 35m

Good follow-up to the podcast episode that launched the viral Malcolm Gladwell clip.

Ross Tucker & Mike Finch provide more context of the MIT panel, and the protection of women’s sport from male advantage.

These guys aren’t political & the pod is great.
