Cool and unexpected to hear a Rae Spoon song on my re-watch of Alias.

Watched the Donner Superman movies with the kiddos and they noted how Beatty and Hackman’s Otis and Luthor were basically the template for Pesci and Stern’s wet bandits from Home Alone.

I suggest you use the next couple days to influence your Spotify Wrapped list so that it will impress yr friends and help direct your ‘22 algorithm. Or you can just play “Chaise Longue” again.

HEY STAT HEADS: My Mom was born in ‘47, and is celebrating her 74th birthday today. (HBD, Mom!). Earlier this year, I celebrated my 47th bday cuz I was born in ‘74. Question is: In a century, what is the percentage likelihood of this numeric reversal?

January 2 and I’ve gone for a skate, a ski, and a snowshoe. Prolly gonna take it easy for the rest of ‘22.

Thanks for your support thru the years, but due to the pandemic, Beckfast has no choice but to close its doors. On the B-side, Spaghetti ‘squatch 🍝👣 and I will now be opening up a new dance studio: YOLO…Tango!

I used to view WORDLE as a quick, daily diversion. But now, my usual first two guesses have become my mantra. TREAD PIOUS, Twitter pals. 🙏🏼

Maybe not a shocker, but I’m full-on in Gloomtown since noticing that Guided By Voices is scheduled at another fest the same weekend as Winnipeg Folk Fest. Kept a hold on hope they’d re-book and I’d get to see ‘em under the stars (and bushes).

📢 🌳 HELLO #Winnipeg? Where did you go? Our spring #ReLeaf sales have been S-L-O-W so far! 🐢🙁 Every year you help us break our own tree sales records. Anticipating this, we once again ordered MORE trees! releaf.tw/collections/all

With the interest my dog takes in my cooking, she just might be the next Top Dog Chef - or whatever the ridiculous TV show that likely exists is called…

Carolina is good for my hockey draft, but NYR is good for the Jets. As Elliotte Friedman would say, it’s a WIN-WIN

My fave snack translation since Méli-Mélo.

“Unspeakable things, written longhand in your diary”. Yup, ya hooked me, Kiwi Jr

Unpopular Xmas take: Save a couple fun tracks, the Boney M. Christmas Album is a dud.

The Coronation combined with the Kentucky Derby has given me my fill of silly hats. Milliners be damned!

This trip is not without its struggles, but we made it to #RolandGarros, baby!

I say this as an ⁦Al Simmons Entertainer⁩ stan, ⁦Winnipeg Free Press⁩, but one album in 25 years seems the definition of slowing down…

Found this cool menu from The Fourth Dimension coffee shop. It was Winnipeg’s hip folk spot in the ‘60s.

Hey Burton Cummings, going through some of my Mom’s old stuff I came across this handsome Tiger.

It works year-round, but shannenmoser’s I’ll Sing is a superior spin for a spring Sunday.
