Happy Father's Day 🖤

Seawolf started out as a heavy-duty, ocean-going tugboat. It was later converted into a luxury yacht. It's in Halifax right now, presumably for the #SailGP races. www.superyachttimes.com/yachts/seawo...

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

In the elementary school yard as students leave for the day and I overheard an exchange between a parent and child that's probably happened billions of times all around the world. The parent: "Are you excited?" The child: "Yeah, I guess."

Talked to some lovely cyclists from the Netherlands at the Barrington St Superstore. They said they were baffled by our varied and poorly-designed bike racks: I had to agree. They'd biked from Lunenburg, and were planning to do the NS North Shore and Cabot Trail. #HaliSky

Staging is going up for the Sail GP this weekend in Halifax. sailgp.com/races/2026/c...

I just walked past someone with a very tall soft-serve ice cream cone who clearly had no idea about the speed or technique required to eat such a cone on a warm, sunny day. #thoughtsandprayers

Had friends over, so I smoked some pork ribs today! 6 hours. See the stages.

The first-ever World Cup match played in Canada just started, Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina. It's being held in Toronto but Halifax has a big screen, beer tent, kids' games, and more on Citadel Hill so local fans can watch and celebrate together.

PSA for #HaliSky : Darrell's has 34% off all dine-in burgers or wraps, Mon-Wed, for the rest of June. It's for their 34th anniversary.

Sometimes the best thing to do between work calls on a sunny day is to go shoot a few hoops. #HaliSky

Making sourdough again. My starter has been sleeping for over a year, but those bubbles tell me I've brought it back to life. The dough was too moist, though. But not bad for the first time in a long time. #HaliSky #bread

An experiment: how many days will these solar-powered ground lights last at the front of my house before they're stolen? Luckily they're only $1.48 each from Walmart. #HaliSky

It's curbside giveaway weekend in Halifax: put stuff outside, and people can take it. It's a good way to get rid of things you can't be bothered to sell. But you do want to be careful that overzealous folks don't take the things you *don't* want them to.

PSA Put Shit At curb Curbside giveaway is this weekend

The east coast of North America is known for its kaleidoscope of fall colors, but what most people don’t realize (and I did not realize until I moved here) is that there is a corresponding kaleidoscope of greens in the spring.

Send Help, Sam Raimi's latest film, is on Disney+ now. It's very much a Raimi film: campy, gruesome, hilarious, ridiculous, unpredictable, and savage. It's close in feel to Drag Me To Hell. I loved it.

I found the spot on my family's farm where mint grows. It's early, so the shoots are still small, but this should make some very nice, delicate tea. Prime time to harvest is late July, I'll be sure to get lots then.

Wandering around Halifax before starting work for the day.

Tempted to resurrect Scoundrels. #HaliSky

Another sign of spring: my basement dehumidifier just turned itself on.

Just got my bread money. 😆 🇨🇦🍞

I'm taking a week off work. It's about time. I need a break.

Morning cycle around Halifax before I finish the work week.

Another sign of spring: the "78th Highlawnder", one of the robot lawn mowers on Citadel Hill, doing its job. #HaliSky

There are happy sailors out there.

Nothing like a mid-day 3-second power outage. Time to reset some clocks! #HaliSky

Don’t you just hate it that Hal-Con is 191 days away? Don’t you wish you had OTHER events during the year to capture that same feeling? Pssst, over here: you didn’t hear it from me, but stay tuned for a special announcement on May 4th … shhhhhh. #HalCon2026

Enjoy your power outage, north end Halifax. I hear the Windsor Street Exchange is fun right now. Must be the freezing rain, right, NS Power?

Today's breakfast #vinyl Endless Summer, by the Beach Boys

Finally finished Better Call Saul. Wow, that really was a great TV show. Different from Breaking Bad, and fantastic in its own character-driven way.

Now we're talking #coffee

David Cochrane: "I never stop to be shocked at how shocked the Americans are at the logical consequences of their actions, 'Can you believe they're not selling our booze after we disrupted all of their core industries?'"

OMFG. The mathematical incompetence here is hurting my brain. $100 > $600 = 500% increase $600 > $100 = 83.3% decrease

I'd like to hear from Nova Scotian provincial and Canadian federal employees who have been directed to use AI in their workplace. I want to know specifics, and how that's working out. DM me.

Insulting and disrespectful. Hmm, imagine that.
