My son turns 18 today which is a big enough deal, but it’s also our provincial election and he gets to vote for the first time ever. Last week, his dad asked me to send some gift suggestions and here’s a recap of yesterday’s text convo. Him: There’s only...
Last night’s snow and ice storm was supposed to start at 1 PM. Then they said 4pm. Then 6pm. *eye roll* By the time the first snowflake finally hit the ground at 8 PM, I had already run through every possible outcome in my head—power outages, buried...
I’m going to paraphrase an email I read this week. Too many mainstream “popular” people’s emails aren’t as good as mine – they have horrible formatting and aren’t as entertaining and real. She’s right. I look forward to every one of her emails even when I...

When we were kids, Saturday mornings were the only time cartoons were on and one of my favourites was He-Man. Prince Adam would call upon the power of Grayskull and transform into the beloved hero. Now, you might not have the Sword of Power, but there are other ways...
A Spicy Message For Anyone Who Builds the Empire While Someone Else Sits on the Throne(that may get me cancelled) One of Ben Settle’s recent emails talked about the ongoing feud over the Rocky franchise. I didn’t know anything about it 🤷, so here’s the cliff...
