  • Put up and decorated the tree today.

  • My plan for 2019 was to get back to writing, I have a few drafts of longer posts that I started, but it took until November for me to find a posting groove!
    Thanks to microblogvember!

  • Yesterday was the first snow fall of the winter in Halifax and it brought the city to a complete standstill.
    My 6km commute took 3 hours 😕

  • Got lucky this morning and managed to walk the dogs between rain drops.

  • My first thought this morning upon stepping out of the shower was “I sure am ready for the weekend”.
    My second thought was “It is only Tuesday…”

  • One month until Christmas!

  • Sometimes it is important to go back to the classic “Selfies with Grant”

  • Today is going to be spent driving a few hundred kilometres on the highway 🚙
    I don’t normally look forward to long drives, but this is in service of visiting family and friends that we haven’t seen in a while

  • Today’s random memory was of the time I found a dead bee in my office and then mailed it across the country to an entomologist friend.

  • Disney+ has been a pretty big hit in my home so far. Most of Sunday afternoon was spent watching a mix of new and old content.
    That said, I am unreasonably excited and nostalgic about getting to watch the Rocketeer

  • A week of travel for work does wonders for disrupting bad habits in a routine.
    Not hitting snooze this morning allowed me to enjoy a much more leisurely pace getting ready.

  • Post travel cuddles are a great way to spend a Sunday.

  • Visited my nieces for a birthday party. The amount of volume that a herd of 8 year olds can produce is astounding!

  • Bags are packed and I’m on my way back home.

  • Sportsnet actually fired him. I really didn’t expect them to do anything other than mumble some apologies and continue looking the other way.
    On the other hand, the amount of negative pushback in social media over the firing reveals just how far hockey culture still has to go.

  • The first nights sleep after a red eye flight might be the most refreshing type of sleep I ever get.

  • Checked into my hotel room to discover I have a napping bed above my sleeping bed.

  • My bags are packed for Madrid once again. Transatlantic travel is starting to feel routine.

  • Today was the first morning dog walk below freezing. Both dogs were a lot more excited by the light snowfall than I was.

  • Went to the symphony last night and got to experience the amazing We’re Not Done Drumming by Rebecca Thomas and Laura Sgroi, accompanied by Symphony NS.
