This. A thousand times this. Since I stepped down as Dean, I have remembered how much I love the quiet.

Finished up my 2025 race season today with the Lost Valley 25km trail race, a point-to-point run on the Iroquoia section of the Bruce Trail. A greyish day but there were still some beautiful views. #trailrunning

Otters with hats again, for no reason other than otters in hats!

What a heartbreaking way to end the season. The Blue Jays were so much fun to watch this year. I love that team. #worldseries #mlb #wantitall

Same. My blood pressure can’t take this.

In Gaus we trust.

All TWELVE of Trey Yesavage's strikeouts tonight 👀

Masterpiece

Last night I ran my first ever nighttime trail race (The Night Thing, by Race Huron). It was rainy, muddy, and a little spooky at times, but lots of fun. #trailrunning

Blue Jays dedicate 11-4 blowout to Donald Trump 🇨🇦

What’s everyone think about this move? Feels strange to leave Lukes out of the lineup. #BlueJays #wantitall

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

Recently finished an end to end hike of the Peninsula section of the Bruce Trail (and got the badge to prove it). Hard to choose just 4 photos of this stunning part of Ontario. #hiking #happytrails #getoutside

Incomprehensible that you put Little out there now instead of Hoffman.

I could watch this for hours! #BlueJays

WOW! Rush going back on tour www.youtube.com/watch?v=koiX...

Yes!!!

Fall is my favourite season for trail running (and pretty much everything else). Unfortunately, the fallen leaves conceal a lot of tripping hazards. I did an impressive face plant this morning and had several near misses!

Robo-umps can’t come soon enough.

Finished the 2025 multi-sport season with the Barrelman half-iron distance race in Welland/Niagara Falls. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

I could watch Gausman pitch all day.

I love these Vladdy slides.

Margaret Atwood takes aim at Alberta’s school library books ban with satirical story globalnews.ca/news/1135817... "They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex."

Why more and more people are tuning the news out: ‘Now I don’t have that anxiety’

Last long #bike ride before my half-iron race in a couple of weeks. It was a chilly start but the sun and blue skies came through! #cycling #TrekBikes

Gausman pitched his ass off today. Deserved better.

Please put ANYONE else in the closer role. Seriously.

Why is Schneider so quick to pull his starters when the bullpen is so obviously bad? #BlueJays

So regressive & dystopian it feels like, um, The Handmaid’s Tale…👇 “…public school board is yanking more than 200 books from its library…” “…including literary classics such as author Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’” MAGA Alberta: edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto....

*sobbing* Never in doubt!

Am I the only one who gets nervous whenever Hoffman comes in? #BlueJays

A bit grey and blustery today, but hard not to love a bike ride that took me to the shorelines of both Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Because you can do that on the beautiful Bruce Peninsula. #cycling #GreatLakes

Today’s adventures on the beautiful Bruce Trail. #hiking #Ontario

This is Winnie. She is what you might call a… submaween. 13/10 (IG: alittlebitoflovelock)

Today I ran the Falling Water Half Marathon at Beaver Valley, Ontario. Between the wild heat and the steep climbs, it was the toughest foot race I have ever done. I earned that Finisher’s medal (which is also a compass)! #trailrunning

Kicked off my long weekend with a long run at Fanshawe Conservation Area. Lots of runners, bikers, and rowers out enjoying the cool, clear morning today. Happy Civic Holiday weekend, everyone! #trailrunning #getoutside

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing to go further each year.

NGL: I was not mentally up for my race today in Owen Sound. I am proud of myself for gutting it out anyway. I have been racing for long enough to know that not every race will be successful (or even fun). Sometimes the best race is the one that’s over. #multisport #endurance

Had a great time this week at the @obsconf.bsky.social at Harvard. I know that many Canadian academics are avoiding the USA (I struggled with it, too), but I thought it was important to stand in solidarity with Harvard, and it was great to connect with some of the world’s best private law scholars.

Caring about when to use "who" versus when to use "whom," in this climate? It matters, Mary Norris, a former copy editor at The New Yorker, writes. “Keeping up standards is the only way to show the bastards that they will not beat us in the end." Learn the correct way to use "who" and “whom.”
