Had a really wonderful visit to LA last weekend to see some dear friends I hadn’t seen in ages. Weekend full of sunny weather, long talks, cute cats, delicious food and ridiculous pool parties.
Someone on the plane home gave me the flu but it was worth it.

Stuck in LA traffic and our Uber driver just pulled mini brownies out of the console and fed us.
We now love him.

Your Gen X prescription:
1. See Superman in the theatre
2. Listen to “I’m a punk rocker” by the Teddy Bears w/ Iggy Pop
3. Listen to a recent interview w/ Director James Gunn
4. Listen to Spotify Superman character playlists by James Gunn
5. Realize that movies & music still matter
6. You’re welcome

So... a life update: as of yesterday, I've joined the ranks of the unemployed. Blindsided, but life comes at you fast. I'm proud of the team I was nurturing & the client work I'd wrapped/worked on.

On the hunt for something ASAP so if you need marketing, community, or product support, lmk 🚀

You probably need to hear Obi’s purrs and pleas for treats today.

You! ☺️
Hope you are doing well!

Also, a peaceful waterfall.

East Vancouver is my home and it feels profoundly, sadly different today.

For my Canadian folks, this website helps you see how your individual riding is polling for the federal election tomorrow.
I found it very helpful in seeing how the different parties are doing in my area.
Your vote does matter.

4.8 earthquake in Vancouver today, felt like the ground turned to Jello for a few moments.
But it’s also garbage day which always shakes our house too. Was so disorienting

I was curious so I went to see Canada's 1.3B commitment to increased border security that was announced, notably, in December. The top line item is targeting Fentanyl. Again, in December.

In case anyone else is curious, here's the link.

Black history month starts today and this administration would like us to forget it,
