YouTube video by Lennie72 Laverne & Shirley Opening Theme Song With Lyrics(Best Version On Youtube)

I know I'm the old guy at work each time, at the end of a busy day, when someone says, "We did it!" and when I sing this song not one coworker has ever heard it before.

Some dads try and live out their hockey or football dreams through their kids.

You are a Jedi dad.

The private sector vociferously opposes competition period. We need leadership that stands up to that.

I think the most important thing I learned about it is to not equate creativity with external reward. Let the creativity itself be the reward, otherwise we teach students to repeat the same behaviour in hopes for the reward.

Bullies, yes. Narcissists, no. Be thankful we have a leader who knows the difference.

In one of our ALU podcasts, you and I discuss the blog you had just started. Can you believe that was almost twenty years ago?!?

It's actually how you deal with narcissists to get them to listen. If you pay attention, Carney praises, gives facts, then corrects.

You're going to have to change "eraser" to "backspace" soon.

Thank you. Libraries everywhere are always one election away from having budgets slashed or taken away.
Too often I see posts from authors who only see libraries as the places that recommend their books--and have no idea of all the other social services we now prop up.

We need your voices.

I'll see it in a theatre.

When can I watch this on a streaming network?

It begins.

But they got to "own" the Dems. At the cost of their Medicaid, housing, and employment.
In Canada, we're fighting the same ridiculous sentiment--but change "Dems" to "Libs."

This scene from #tedlasso encapsulates how I've been feeling most of my life.

My therapist recently stated, "Opinions have nothing to do with you. You keep being you."

So, I #ponder on Ted's words, "be curious" and I keep working towards my #goals.

Somewhere, over that rainbow, the skies really are blue.
Just ask the lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Harrison Lake was beautiful yesterday.

Considering the genre of films you make, you should practice a sombre, scary look. /s

On a serious note, congrats. This is awesome and inspiring.

Sounds like the start of a prophecy:

"But those that dream by both day and night are both cognizant and escaped. Unless they are escaped and only dream when cognizant, for those who are escaped when at night shall not be cognizant but shall dream in the day. "

Are you allowed to post about things that aren't current events or politics?

Oh my god, it's #Halloween season tomorrow. IT'S HALLOWEEN SEASON TOMORROW.

A 3D model of a X-wing from Star Wars done in Blender.

I redid the #xwing design to make it (hopefully) more #3Dprinter friendly. We'll see if it prints tomorrow.

We recorded these with a cheap mp3 recorder in noisy cafes or in my home over Skype with my old MacBook that had an incredibly loud fan. I edited them using GarageBand.

The originals were noisy, hard to hear, but we were having so much fun we didn't care. Such good times.

Remastered with Reaper.

Authors Like Us A podcast about everything you didn't want to know about the authors you love.

One of my projects for 2025 has been to remaster the podcast series I did with @leefodi.bsky.social back in 2009. So far, I have a handful of episodes finished.
Hard to believe that was 16 years ago. See comments 4 more.

Here are my unsolicited opinions on #CanadaPost.

It's not up to the workers to figure out how to make Canada Post viable. That's management 's failings and if it's this bad they should be fired and replaced.

I have some pretty strong opinions on how plumbing in your home should work.

No experience, zero education, but I've done my own research.

Hire me for your next home reno or emergency project.

#DontTrustTheExperts

It figures that on the same day they figure out the cause of #autism the only only ones who would believe it get #raptured.

There's not even any point to being a speculative author anymore.

#PSA #itsnotacetaminophen

A random, unrelated note to overshare for no reason at all.
When I was ten I had a splenectomy due to stage 3 cancer. Since then, I have only been able to take #acetaminophen (I was able to say the word in one go!) and I do not have #autism.
Also, as a #PSA, don't inject bleach if you get COVID.

A shout out to #libraries and #libraryworkers (it's not just librarians on public service).

My #library card gives me free tutorials on LinkedIn Learning where I learned the basics of #Blender, #3DModeling, and animation.

Libraries matter.
