Canada kicking off an elimination game in the world cup and some chicken skewers on the grill. Damn fine day.
Izaiyah Nelson's NBA Draft combine athletic testing sure looks like a star. Literally.
I just learned that Zuby Ejiofor's played for a team called BeastUp in Dallas during high school. And I'd like to bring to everyone's attention the amazing Raptors' branding that they wore a few times. And yes, it was a purple jersey.
My dog has been acting weird since last night, so off to the vet she went. She has her first fever. Look how patient she was waiting for her blood work.
Lot of good stuff (obviously) in here, but a snipper of one of my favourites:
I'm pretty proud of the new plow names in Winnipeg. Our city united with a purpose.
Awake at 3am, gave up on sleep shortly after 4am. But at least I've got a cup of tea, a good book, and some cute company.
My son is having a rough night. So I'm having a rough night. Gave up on sleep around 3AM to read a book instead. But you know who hasn't given up on sleep?
My sister-in-law perfected Christmas this year Cheers to all this holiday season!
It's a snow day in Winnipeg. My office is closed (though I still have to work remotely) and my 4.5yo is at home with me. Everyone look at the fort he made!
My wife taught me to knit shortly after we got marriied, and while I haven't done it in a very long time, breaking out my old knitted hood and face mask on the coldest days is always a delight.
