A man ran a marathon in his house 🏃🏻 so I’m sending birthday wishes to Gord Kurenoff my favourite “athlete”. 🤸‍♂️My day is complete🎂🧁🍰Now I need a break‼️🐿

.CKNW Usually I start every Saturday shift The Province by editing or proofreading Mike Smyth’s brilliant political column! Today is different. After 24 award-winning years & scoops aplenty, our newshound has moved to Global News/News Talk 980. Good luck being Mike behind a mic

As expected, but still a bummer, the 2020 Vancouver Scotiabank half marathon and 5K, which raises a ton of money every June for local charities, has been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Wash your hands, practise social distancing and stay safe! We are all in this together!

Cool thing about my job is I get to edit gems! The late Pat Quinn of the Vancouver Canucks once said “Does (a plane) fly with its nose in the air? No. Does it fly with its nose pointed to the ground? No. It flies with its nose pointing straight ahead and that’s how you should be in life!”

What an absolute garbage take from Skip Bayless. It’s not just “insensitive,” it’s ignorant and dangerous. Prioritize your mental health. x.com/Ace_Eca4/statu…

Runner Doug Decloux's battle with prostate cancer was an arduous ordeal of medical procedures & suicidal thoughts. He became a survivor. Gord Kurenoff wrote about him in his blog 2 years ago & in the coming weeks, we'll check in with Doug to see how he's doing. ow.ly/tZrG50BnOtA

It’s National Pet Day and I’m so happy that treat-loving, sock-chewing, finger-biting Chico, who just turned 11 weeks old, makes me smile every single day! He can’t wait to meet ya’ll soon! Stay happy! #NationalPetDay

⁦Patrick Johnston⁩ So you think you’re good teaching your fab kids to enjoy and succeed in life? My new puppy is already “working from home!” Teaching him puns and how to write: Canucks happy with challenging, travel-filled season despite finishing last! He earns his bones! 🤠

Moving on: Looking back at 44 years inside the iconic Abbotsford News building. This was a lot of fun to put together and research. Thanks to everyone who shared memories and got back to me. abbynews.com/news/moving-on…

The loss of our print media is devastating..

While 2021 was mostly a bust socially thanks to COVID restrictions and a lot of people would like to forget all about it, there was one highlight and addition to our lives! Chico made the smaller bubble easier to take! Happy New Year and let’s make 2022 grrrrrreat!

My creative juices, stymied since COVID made “smaller bubbles” a thing, appear to be working again! Happy Friday and weekend and hope you “get on a roll,” too! #whatsnottolikeright
