Today was #Day30 of me playing my #piano everyday. Every damn day. Even when I didn't want to. Send me all your good mojo for my next 30 days, please! 🎹

Has anyone else ever considered that they gave Jesus a Mexican name because of how heavenly their food is?

One of the recipes from my personal cookbook that I feel I have dialed in is my chili recipe. It's warming without being overly spicy and my #SecretIngredients add some extra depth! #WhatYouGotCooking? 🍽️🍜

"You can find an adventure almost anywhere if you are prepared to do something a little bit stupid." - Roland Burton - Varsity Outdoor Club Journal, Volume 14, 1971, pg.34 Back in the day, when I used to do a lot of #backpacking this quote was the inspiration for many trips!

Rewatching #Highlander for the millionth time, lol I can remember sitting in my basement apartment in 1987 and watching this on VHS for the first time. I loved it! One of the things I loved is that they couldn't possibly do any sequels and fuck it up...

My finished pizza! I kept it simple, pepperoni and olives for toppings. The sauce brought in the flavours from the parsley and oregano. The anchovie paste I made gave the sauce its salty umami. Tastes even better than it looks!

Dough has risen once. One for the fridge, one for the pan! #PizzaAndSciFiNight!

Dough is now rising. I'll let this double then punch it back. It's enough dough for 2 pizzas so I'll put half into the fridge for tomorrow. The other half, I'll spread on the pan and let it raise again before building my pizza. #PizzaAndSciFiNight

My wife is away for the night so I'm having a pizza night and watching sci-fi movies! I have the sauce made and blending and the yeast blooming for my dough. Currently watching #DunePart2

I'm so excited, I found a #piano teacher! It will just be 30 minutes, once a week. The teacher is my cousin, Leo! Well 1st cousin once removed, or 2nd cousin depending on how you phrase things. He's my cousin's son and is 18 years old.

I haven't said anything because I wasn't sure but I can already see the improvement in my #piano playing. It's #Day26 and I can see that I'm able to read the treble clef easily, I struggle with the bass clef still so I need to practice that more. I can play with both hands easier as well.

I decided that since I've been doing so well with playing my #piano every day, today will be #Day25! I decided that I wanted the ability to keep practicing even if we were traveling. I found this silicon, foldable, roll up, piano, for a good price on FB Marketplace so I bought it. 🎹

So there is one philosophy for married life that is essentially, "Happy wife, happy life." I prefer to follow more of a chaos principle, "Slightly annoying the wife, way more amusing life."

PM Mark Carney's speech today at Davos is something that will be spoken of by people far more knowledgeable and insightful than I am, but I found it impactful and inspiring. That he wrote the speech himself, it gives me hope in a world that seems a little too much right now.

I just read that during the filming of #ThePrincessBride Andre the Giant had a fart that lasted 17 seconds! I didn't realize it was possible to sustain a fart for that long. This is a whole new life goal.

I have my version of Chicken Vindaloo dialed in!

I'm in the kitchen tonight whipping up a batch of my chicken vindaloo! What do you have cooking, my friends? 🍜🍽️

I played again today. #Day21 for the fucking win.

#poem #poetry I Have Set My Tent In Lonely Places by me I am alone, Twilight's come. Looking to, The setting sun. Shadows show, The trail's faint traces. I have set my tent, In lonely places. It is late, Sun's gone down. Heading to, The camping ground. Backpack on, I count my paces.

I try to make food I have never tried, from places I have never been. I always worry that they don't taste like they're supposed to and I won't know the difference. Three years ago I made #sisig. It tastes nothing like it is supposed to. 🍽️🍜 I am both laughing and dying on the inside....heh

If you're here in #Fredericton then please go eat at #KadiwaFilipinoAndAsianMiniGroceryStore. It's on Regent at Montgomery. All the food is made to order, and it's all absolutely fantastic! #Filipino #Sisig

I had to look up Lizardman's Constant: the 4% of people who will tell a pollster lizard people are taking over the world, ie the minimum answer you will get for even the most absurd question.

My first time trying to make #sushi at home. Nothing fancy, a couple basic rolls.

Fuck! I really did not want to play my piano today. Just not in the mood. Fuck. Played anyway. I even started trying to learn a new song. #Day17

After 48 hours sitting on the counter my creme fraiche turned out fantastic! Creamy, slightly nutty, and just a bit of tanginess. Perfect.

I decided I am going to leave this jar of whole cream on my countertop for a few days and then I am going to eat it. 🍽️🍜 #CremeFraich #ButtermilkAndWhippingCream

Tonight was homemade pork schnitzel with sauerkraut and baked potato. 🍽️🍜 #WhatYouGotCooking

Drinking that chocolate brown ale today makes me really want to break out my homebrew equipment and make some of my, Nutty Skidmarc, a chocolate hazelnut brown ale.

This was another great beer, tastes like drinking a chocolate bar. I have to admit that I do love a good brown ale.

Enjoying this tasty #beer from #BigAxeBrewery, Bootlegger Imperial Stout. Comes in at 8%abv, tastes delicious. Definitely a dangerous beer.

That video was filmed in Minneapolis, man...

Was so lucky to see #1812 play tonight here in #Fredericton. I am sad I didn't get a good shot of the bass player but that just means I'll be making that priority next time!

I am a little proud of myself. I came in late, from a great night out, watching some local live music. Came in, sat down and played my #piano because I needed to. This makes #Day13 that I've played every day. I can see my progress now, and have learned a song I can "almost" play from memory. 🎹

I'm not sure what my #1 favourite fossil is. I can say that coprolites are a solid #2 though.

I'll never be the sun, but I can be a candle. Even a small light fights the dark. #BeACandle

I didn't get home until 830. A full work day and then 2.5 hours playing #chess with my chess club. Had all my excuses lined up for why I didn't have to play today, but I sucked it up and played my #piano again today anyway. #Day10 🎹

For the #Halifax style #donair lovers out there, I present my homemade recipe for the meat and sauce, for your consideration. 🍜🍽️

I'm still not at the #habit level of playing my #piano everyday. I know that having it right in my sightline is the only reason I made it through #Week1. It seems easy for me to "forget" to play. Still working on making this a habit. I played my #piano today. #Day8 🎹

I played my #piano again today! That makes #Day7 of playing at least 15 minutes every day. I completed #WeekOne. I even played on the days I didn't want to. 🎹

On tonight's menu is Halifax style Donairs! I had a bunch of my homemade donair meat in my freezer from the last time I made donairs. I just made the sauce so it can blend for awhile. What you got #cooking? 🍽️🍜

For the record, I did play my #piano again tonight. It was another night where I wasn't "feeling" it, but I sat and I practiced anyway. It's only #Day6, but I have played at least 15 minutes everyday. 🎹

I played my #piano today, again! I'm at #Day5 of trying to play everyday even if it's just for 15 minutes. Spent 30 minutes playing random bits of songs and more time with, Let It Be. I have certain bits memorized already and can play without the sheet music for those parts. Look at me go...heh. 🎹

I left home with $25 in cash, for drinks, and the casino gave me $26 to gamble with. Paid for all our drinks with cash. Came out to find a cab waiting, so we just hopped right in, paid him in cash. Tipped generously, I'm home still have $300 left. Roulette was good to me this evening, lol.

At The Wolastoq Casino ringing in the New Year! So far I'm up $235 at the roulette table and we have been having a blast! This may be #Fredericton's Best New Years Eve Party!

I'm tired. Just want to sit, do nothing but we have plans to go out tonight. We even have tickets. I really don't want to play my #piano today. I know if I go out, I won't play when I get home. So I sat and played. Getting closer to being able to play my first song. #Day4 #StayingHonest 🎹

Keeping myself honest. I played my #piano tonight. We have company, I got home late, and I only played for 15 minutes but I still played my piano tonight. #Day3 🎹

I played my piano today. #Day2 #EveryOneStartsSomeWhere 🎹

I have let this gather dust in the guest bedroom for too long! It's now back in the living room where it will remind me to play everyday. Feel free to ask me if I've played piano every day of 2026 to help me keep playing!

It's a fucking #ChristmasMiracle. I beat @shanaboudreau.bsky.social, twice at #AzulDuel and another two times at #FirsrRat! If you only knew how often she crushes me in #BoardGames

Crushing my wife at, Azul: Duel today. Two games in a row! Normally she beats the hell out of me at this #BoardGame
