Hey Winnipeggers. Does your Bluetooth glitch out when you drive over the Disraeli bridge? It happened to me three times this week. Curious if it’s just a me thing or not. Kind of want to look into it.

My mission to convince my 3 year old that Queen is kids music is actually working.

May have slipped under the radar. Happens sometimes during busy news weeks. I’ll look into it.

So the Manitoba government issued a press release today, declaring a big jump in full-time employment between August and September: 11,100 jobs.

That looks good … until you look at more than one month of data. 1/x

We should start celebrating 36 as a milestone birthday. It’s the day you’ve been an adult longer than you’ve been a child.

I asked my 2 year old son what grown ups do. He said:

- make snacks
- ⁠turn on the tv
- ⁠go for hikes in the forest

He captured my essence perfectly.

Note to self: camping with a toddler and a baby when the sun doesn’t set until 10pm is an absolute disaster.

I’ll just be over here weeping to the Puffin Rock theme song.

My kid is so stoked to grow up and I don’t have the heart to tell him it’s just paperwork and small talk.

You too!

Merry Christmas Eve! I’m hosting up to speed on CBC radio this afternoon and I promise it’ll be cute.

Went for a vasectomy . . . Stumbled upon a news story.

We need to talk more about how goddamn hard it is to build an actual snowman. The conditions need to be just right and even then, the big ball will probably break on you at some point be covered in dirt.

I drove extra safely later that day.

Just heard on CBC Manitoba Radio - sounds like multi-vehicle crash on Abinojii Mekinah at St Mary’s Road - westbound/curbside lane?
Be careful out there. Drive slowly. Be safe.

Not sure whether watching the Christmas episode of The Bear right now will get me into the holiday spirit or not.

Can’t believe it took until my 30’s to start cooking pasta IN the sauce instead of boring old water.

Had to read this headline twice this morning. What a story. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Seine itself is still pretty open. The single track along it is all kinds of pretty too. Time to put the phone away and enjoy the run home. Thanks for coming along.

Here’s where the Seine meets the red (aka the little forks)

Big shout out to the massive cottonwoods in Whittier park. Who says BC gets to have all the big trees?
