The provincial gov is allowing supervisors who replace school board Trustees to earn up to $350,000/year plus $20,000 in expenses. Our 10 Trustees, 3 Student Trustees, association fees, and expenses cost $185,291 in 2023-2024. I thought the gov wanted to save money?

Took Lauren to see Of Monsters and Men in Toronto last night but one of the singers lost their voice! They played 4 songs without her then told us to keep our tickets and cancelled the show. Kind of a bummer but the songs they did sounded great so hopefully they can reschedule soon!

One of the most imaginative and unique sci-fi shows I've seen in a long time. Definitely worth the watch if you can track it down in Canada.
Today marks the two-year anniversary of a great modern sci-fi show: Scavengers Reign. 🥰
A new classic that is only officially available in a few countries.

The greatest compliment ever: a coworker at my office stopped in to say, "Hey, do you play basketball? Someone the other day told me you were really good, like you can really play." 🥲
