Uh oh. Power is flickering here in my little corner of East Hants. Snow is heavy and wet. Time for bed and hope for the best.

#Halifax regional council meets today starting at 10am. There are also budget committee meetings tomorrow, Thursday, and possibly Friday. It's a busy week!

I may pop down to City Hall later but here's a piece I wrote yesterday about what's on the agenda.

Snow days aren’t really snow days anymore when you can work from home. I do truly appreciate not having to get on the road and the fact that I have a job that is able to be done from home. BUT a real snow day means no work so I’m going to need a power outage with this next storm, please.

For those who watch Fallout, has anyone else not watched the finale of season 2 yet but instead gone back and started at the very beginning? 🫣

Secretly hoping this ends with the two of them in a cage match. 2 planet and society destroying oligarchs enter…

I’m very excited for this one and the bricks are ginormous compared to the ones I usually build with.

Recommending this thread as must read, Pocket Friends. Thank you so much Mike @sakeriver.com for sharing your observations and thoughts.
If you're struggling right now, I hope you can find ways to be kind to yourself. To rest. Whatever needs to be done, whatever the consequences are of not doing it, it's okay. You'll deal with those consequences when you are able to. It has to be okay. So it is.

Just watching this now 💜 If this special leads to a reboot, my top 3 guests would be:

Jason Bateman
Rick Mercer
Hannah Waddingham
We watched the new Muppet Show last night and laughed and laughed and laughed.

If they did reboot it who would your top 3 guests be?

Well, that lost my attention for longer than expected, whoops! On to the next, which I picked up for my own little homage to Catherine O’Hara (may be another knock off, Beetlesnake something) 🧱🪲🐍

At layer 37 I started to wonder if the tiny occupants of my cabin are into pole dancing in the boudoir. Now at Layer 43 with 17 to go. Should be able to finish up today.

For those who loved her, Crave has a Catherine O’Hara playlist on their home screen today.

Okay. Groceries have been obtained, first load of laundry is swishing away, and I’m ready to play with some blocks while a marathon of Catherine O’Hara shows and movies stream all day. Oh, and round two of💨 starts now. #CatherineOHara

Getting some blocks. Was it the weed or the RFK? 🤣

Another Onion post that I fully believed at first glance. I mean, it seems totally in character for that dingdong.
“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

3 AM four Ativan in since midnight and my brain still won’t shut up. The anger and sadness and frustration that I’m feeling is just constantly swirling in my head scenarios that are driving me crazy. I’ve got to sleep tonight so I can talk to him coherently about this tomorrow. Le sigh. I am tired.

Hey Canada ‼️❤️🇨🇦 A good news story!
