Hey, @werwolfram.bsky.social, is this where your name is derived from?

Back home in Edmonton. Bonus photo of the bag of Doritos that got real puffy during the flight.

Last stop in Ottawa... The Science and Technology Museum!

We went on a Haunted Walk in Ottawa tonight. Our lovely tour guide told us some spooky stories about supposedly haunted locations including the Fairmont Hotel and Union Station (now the Senate). Beautiful night for a walk even if you don't believe in ghosts!

Uh... @dizfoley.bsky.social, please explain this.

Step right up one and all! Starting October 1st you can sign up to be a part of our exclusive Club Calfurry! Mark your calendars and make sure you snag your chance at great deals and exclusive perks!

Four years ago today, my dad passed away after a battle with lung cancer. He stubbornly hung on until he got to see my 50th birthday and then went peacefully the next evening. Hard to believe that it's already been four years! Miss you, dad!

Birthday dinner was at a Chinese place right next to our hotel followed by another night out at Casino Montréal. Lost a few bucks, but still better than losing USD in Vegas. Now to get some sleep! Thanks for the birthday greetings, everyone!

Some sights from my day in Old Montreal. Such charming streets and such a bustling area!

Furry bait.

I'm on a boat!

What's that I see in the distance? Oh, it's my younger days! It's okay, though... I've gotten used to being in my fifties! (I'm 54 today!)

On the eve of my birthday, I spent it being a tourist in Montreal. Visited The Biodome, saw a Cirque Eloize show, and went to a very busy & loud Casino Montreal.

How nice! The AC Hotel in Ottawa gave me an upgraded (huge) room and a piece of cake for my birthday!

My flight experience this morning included seeing an elderly gentleman with a bloody head wound in the parking lot getting medical attention and then a woman in the front row of the plane projectile vomit (narrowly missing me) as we boarded the plane delaying our departure.

In just a few days, I am turning 54! You know what that means? That means I'll be only 1 year away from being considered a senior citizen in many businesses!

Well, @lonetiggs.bsky.social and I completed the Mutt Strut and raised over $1,100 in the process for GEARS! Thanks to the tiger for making sure I didn't get lost this year! And, thank you to everyone who donated to the cause!

Team Calfurry has exceeded our goal of $1,000 raised for The Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society thanks to the generous support of some fine individuals! If you still want to donate, you still can! raceroster.com/events/2025/... @lonetiggs.bsky.social and I run today at noon!

There's a handsome 'pecker.

Final chance to donate to Team Calfurry at tomorrow's Mutt Strutt 5K Run! Right now, we're a little under $500 raised as a team! Help @lonetiggs.bsky.social & me support the Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society on their mission! raceroster.com/events/2025/... Thank you for your generosity!

In 2 days, I'm running a 5K for The Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society w/ @lonetiggs.bsky.social. We've raised about $500 so far & would love to see that number climb! If we get to $1,000, Tiggs has said he'll do the run by carrying me piggyback-style! Donate now: raceroster.com/events/2025/...

For my fellow Canadians! Don't forget to also complete the verification step.

Started the task of putting up "permanent" Christmas lights on the house yesterday. We're gonna be festive all year round!

The number of furs who showed up to march with #Calfurry at #CalgaryPride was outstanding! Hopefully we’ll have even more next year!

Just 4 more days until the 5K run @lonetiggs.bsky.social and I are participating in for The Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society! Your donation is very much appreciated & it all goes to the rescue to support their programs! raceroster.com/events/2025/...

The crowds at #CalgaryPride were very excited when the #Calfurry group went by! @ironfur.bsky.social @foxyalopex.bsky.social @orangehounds.bsky.social @ribtheyeen

Just a few of the many photos from #Calfurry at #CalgaryPride. Huge shoutout to all the con staff & volunteers that made it happen! @bcbreakaway.bsky.social @lonetiggs.bsky.social @boozinbruin.bsky.social @calfurry.ca @orangehounds.bsky.social

Look! It's me and @lonetiggs.bsky.social (among others) at the Calgary Pride Parade!

The first ever @calfurry.ca group in the Calgary Pride Parade is in the books! About 40 of us including our mascots Gary and Rosie braved the heat. It was great seeing so many spectators genuinely thrilled to see furries in the parade! Photos by @leilacatfish.bsky.social

Pride parade in Calgary with the Calfurry crew. It's been a while since I have been in parade, that was a lot of fun.

#Calfurry at Calgary Pride!

We're at our @calfurry.ca stomping grounds (The Glenmore Inn) putting together a float for tomorrow's Calgary Pride Parade! Gonna have over 40 participants in our group including Gary and Rosie!

Now only 8 days away and I'm still looking for donations! Every dollar helps! raceroster.com/events/2025/... Support Team Calfurry! @calfurry.ca

Just over a week until the Mutt Strut 5K Run/Walk that @lonetiggs.bsky.social & I are doing to help raise funds for The Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society (Sep 6). You can register to walk or run with us and/or donate to our team! Every little bit helps! raceroster.com/events/2025/...

Woo hoo! We're up to about $400 of our $1,000 fundraising goal for the 5K "Mutt Strut" that @lonetiggs.bsky.social and I are participating in on September 6. You can help motivate us by donating at raceroster.com/events/2025/...

I've been a bit preoccupied lately, but me and @bcbreakaway.bsky.social are getting ready for the 5K Mutt Strut and we'd both love your support. This is for a great cause helping out our friends at GEARS that do so much to help animals and we would love your support! raceroster.com/events/2025/...

Went to #zoobrew at the Edmonton Valley Zoo tonight. It was kind of nice to be at the zoo with no kids around!

Rare when both of them cuddle up on either side of me. (And, yes, that's Strypes printed on my sweatpants.)

My little bit of 80s nostalgia.

I got around to displaying some of my fond memories from @calfurry.ca 2025. I can't wait to see everyone again next September!

Okay... Not long until it's time for me to run a 5K in support of the Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society. Donations are needed! Help the doggies and kitties and encourage me to sweat my butt off! raceroster.com/events/2025/...

Good way to end a long day of work travel...

Pretty bright rainbow!

Got some flags made for the Calfurry group at the Calgary Pride Parade!

Here we go...

Hot now!

I have a lot of travel coming up in the next while... Saskatchewan (work), Calgary (work & Pride Parade), Montreal (birthday trip), and maybe more. All in all, I'll end up spending nearly 100 nights in hotels this calendar year! (Random pics from recent travels.)

Happy Underwear Day! This 10-year old icon by @atimist.bsky.social will have to do as far as my marking this event!

Final wrap up from the whirlwind 2 day trip to the Pacific NW: It was a lot of fun, but I am so tired! @lonetiggs.bsky.social is wonderful to travel with & he doesn't cry in the shower as much as he would lead you to believe. (I only heard one or two sobs from the shower this weekend.)
