Following this account is one of the best things I've done for my mental health.

On the day of the queen’s death, I D L E S had some thoughts at their Toronto show.

The The Leacock Medal was back with a bang tonight after two years. So many familiar faces, I didn’t even get to say hi to everyone. But I did get to meet up with two Canadian comedy icons: Rick Mercer (who won) and Mark Critch. Such a fun night. And Ali Hassan killed it as MC.

Being a news editor in Canada means looking at a photo of fries with gravy and shredded mozza and struggling with whether to call it poutine in the caption and then deciding not to.

Guy who served my lunch today saw my LA Kings hat and asked if I played hockey. I said I didn't. He said I had the "physique" for it. I love sweater season.

Not a typical topic for my food and drink column, but an important one at the moment.

I’m 40 today and will mark the occasion by tying my laces instead of tucking them into my shoes. Time to grow up.

Rachel is one of MY favourite humans and she knows a thing or two about writing, so I’m honoured.

Came out of reporter retirement (is there such a thing?) for the election tonight. Oro-Medonte had one of the latest result returns and, arguably, the most surprising outcome in Simcoe County. G'night. orilliamatters.com/2022-municipal…

Went to Costco for the first time in four years because we ran out of the plastic wrap we bought there four years ago. Saw a butt crack and was coughed on in the first two minutes we were there. The pandemic hasn’t changed everything.

If my three-year-old niece wants to do “hearts” (that’s what she calls Snapchat), damn it we’re doing hearts.

This is not a house cat. This is a grey lion. I do not have room for a lion. Hopefully someone does. orilliamatters.com/adopt-me/adopt…

My sister has a unique brand of allyship. #PrideMonth

We did it, #Orillia. We’re #Jeopardy famous!

Time always flies during visits with rachel mcmillan 🇨🇦, one of my favourite humans. Glad you finally got to meet Sean, too! Our Great Sunday Afternoon Orillia Bar Hop was one for the ages.

This is a fun surprise. Sticker party courtesy of The Beaches!

So, the annual lighting of the Christmas tree at the Orillia Opera House happened and it's the talk of the town, for the wrong reason. Oh Christmas pole, oh Christmas pole...

I suggested Rach Against the Machine, but rachel mcmillan 🇨🇦 came up with a better, more inclusive team name.

Christmas pole, meet balloon worm.
