Today is Earth Day. Today I will be more conscious of the footprint I leave behind in this beautiful world we take for granted. The earth speaks every day - most of the time we don't listen. Today, take a moment to stop and listen. Imagine how powerful it would be if we did that every day ❤️

Sometimes it’s nice to go back to the classics. Rex Stout writing Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin. Today they would be considered cosy or gentlemen detectives. Always good for a read though

I’m 58 years old, I’m eating gluten free crackers with low fat cheese and drinking Merlot… thank god for @jgchayko.bsky.social

I propose the renaming of the "Strait of Hormuz" to "Strait of Schrödinger." Since it seems to be both open and closed, until someone observes it. But that state changes once someone else observes it.

On the other hand, the books we sell you will go on working pretty much forever… www.wired.com/story/amazon...

I’m this digital age of computers and ai replacing people and offices, the busiest place this Easter in Toronto is a pen and paper store. @jgchayko.bsky.social

Just finished the @kareemabduljabaar.bsky.social and @annawaterhouse novel ‘Mycroft Holmes’. Once I allowed myself to see it as very prequel story of this Holmes brother and let go of my preconceptions the story roared along. This is not the Conan Doyle older Mycroft, but a strong origin one instead

True words at the Toronto library

Yesterday it was 24 degrees and sunny in Toronto. Today I had to go buy a toque. Ahh vacationing in Toronto.

NEW: My relationship with my #RheumatoidArthritis body has run the gamut from incandescent hatred, through ignoring its existence, to finally becoming best friends. In my new @healthcentral.bsky.social column, I share my journey. https://pulse.ly/1zcojer07u

A comic strip from the 1930’s. Perfect for Valentines Day. Perfect for how the world makes us feel these days.

Calling BC artists and organisations! 🎨 If you’re planning new projects this year, now’s a great time to start thinking about funding. We’ve pulled together a short list of arts and culture grants/funding opportunities available across BC. Swipe to see details on what is available!

Just finished the #LindenMacIntyre book ‘An Accidental Villian’. A great read about the wrong man for the job.

Previously I’ve posted pictures of books that I have bought but haven’t read yet. Yet when I attend writing Festivals authors are always telling the crowd to post a review of the book to help with sales. So that’s what I’m going starting in 2026. I’m not a reviewer, just a guy who likes to read.

Why?!?!?

Carol Burnett played this role on Broadway in 1995. I'm hope to bring those comic vibes to my role alongside an amazing cast and crew. Moon Over Buffalo runs February 19th thru March 8th. Vagabond Players at The Bernie Legge Theatre. www.vagabondplayers.ca/moon-over-bu...

Hal Wake loved books and was one of the easiest people to work with on Granville Island. He would come down to our office, find a chair, chat, and made the crew feel like good friends. When I told him my wife wanted to be a writer he said ‘Good, Canada needs more’ I will miss him @writersfest.bc.ca

Hey we have the start of a set! ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ rehearsals continue!

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Rehearsals are underway for ‘Moon Over Buffalo’ in New West at the Bernie Legge Theatre. Comedy abounds and some of is from the script!

Just spent the last 6 days in Victoria and this hotel that has the bedroom up a set of stairs. And for the first 3 nights between 2:30 and 3:30am we both heard footsteps coming up the stairs. No one appeared at the top but the full trip up was made.
