Last night I had the pleasure of seeing my partner perform with the Aeolian Singers in their Endless Spaces concert.
If you’re HRM and interested in a show this afternoon they have one more performance at 2:30.

I stopped posting to Twitter entirely a while ago and had been cross posting from my blog only for a few years before that. Mostly I was keeping my account for a mix of sentimental reasons and it being an authentication method to some hockey analytics stuff.
At some point I set a reminder for today to go and grab a screenshot of the 15 year anniversary of joining Twitter. It seemed like forever for something on the internet and somehow important. The last week I kept thinking “will Twitter make it to Tuesday!?!
I enabled activitypub support on my site years ago but beyond micro.blog interactions it was more novel than useful.
Even if it’s short lived it has been fun to see people following me from several mastodon instances in the last week.
This summary of current events earned a legit laugh out loud.
The news that Kevin Conroy has passed hits hard. He will always be Batman to me and his work is very responsible for my love of comics and Batman.
I have no hard data on this but I feel like “Early Black Friday” is new this year. I have been seeing it advertised since before Halloween!!
I think we should apply the “not before Remembrance Day” rule to all Black Friday sales. (Not to mention that Black Friday isn’t even a thing in Canada)

I never do know what to expect when I look over to these two besties.
Today is Hugo’s 8th birthday he got a big treat for a big day.
Today was “new roof day” which is very exciting from a “keeping the elements out” perspective but very disruptive for the “ten month old who takes two naps a day upstairs” perspective.
For all the horror stories of cancelled flights that I have heard tonight is a new one for me. Show up to the gate for me second flight to be told I’m no longer on it due to “air traffic control” delays.
Next flight isn’t for 13 hours. I don’t qualify for and food or hotel vouchers because it was an “uncontrollable” circumstance. The local WestJet employees helpfully suggest I call my credit card for travel insurance on the flight. They looked real sheepish when I informed them the flight was booked with WestJet Travel Bank that they’ve refused to refund for 2 years.
Stunningly poor experience and I felt very bad for all the employees who were very kind in their utter inability to help me.
Update: When trying to fill out feedback and refund forms on the WestJet website I encountered the following errors:
On the road for work again for the first time in 3 years. Excited to finally meet some of my coworkers in person!
First televised Penguins 🐧 game was today so Raquel broke out the tiny jersey she got Gwen when she saw us watching the game.
Last night Raquel and I headed to The Carleton with Ross and Brittany for a double date Cider showdown between East Coast Cider Company and Maritime Express.
