Following on the heels of last week’s performance of Procession, we picked up the emotional rollercoaster ride of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. Intensity was imbued throughout each of the acts from the dancers, orchestra, & the set design & production. #ballet #dance #toronto #TheWintersTaleNBC

In Canada Nov 11th is #RemembranceDay. Please take 2 min @ 11:00am Eastern to silently reflect on the many freedoms we enjoy today as a country & remember all who served in the Canadian military to fight for us to have them. #LestWeForget

Oh to be as joyful as this little fur ball frolicking in the first snow of this season. He also loves to snack on frosty snow covered sticks. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky

Chester begins his seasonal transition into his “polar bear” persona. He loves the snow so much. At home, we begin the transition into our “pile of dry towels by the door” season. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky #firstsnow #toronto

Chester would like to thank the @bluejays.com for an amazing season of #baseball & for bringing us all together during a challenging time. Chester hopes that the entire Jays organization is surrounded by the love & support that they need after last nights game. #DailyChester #sheepadoodle #goJays

I just saw Tron Ares. No spoilers. My review: it’s a visual masturbatory exercise of the colour red & an example of how Jared fucking Leto can make an incredibly over rendered CGI/AI universe and character look like a cardboard cutout that’s been left out in the rain in every scene he is in… #scifi

On this 1st anniversary of my mom’s death, my dad and I visited a few of her favourite places, shared good memories, and recited the passage she had chosen as part of her memorial service.

Rest in peace mom….

One of my best experiences to date at Service Ontario to renew my drivers licence and health card. Making an appointment in advance really speeds things up. I was in and out in 15 min. Both cards renewed with a new photo taken and some pleasant chit chat with the rep.

Salt Mountains. There City of Toronto’s stockpile of road salt by the lake. A very “Christo & Jeanne-Claude” vibe. #blackandwhite #photography

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

It was a pleasure guest lecturing at George Brown College in #Toronto this afternoon emphasizing the importance of the human connection for child & youth care workers in an age of easy access to #AI tools. It’s critical for 1st year student academic & professional development….

Chester celebrates the changing seasons with a chic Maple Leaf acting as an impromptu fascinator. He loves the cooler autumn temps so he can run and play ball without overheating. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky

I find this incredibly problematic in a whole lot of ways. (Even as a dog owner would would be devastated at the loss of my pet.)
A new Search Party tool built into Ring’s Neighbors service will allow people to send out a local alert if their dog goes AWOL. Once it’s triggered, all nearby Ring devices will keep an eye out for the pup. nyti.ms/3IQ3iFo

Chester visits the Garden of the Gods tonight where he makes the Minotaur see red, tops his cousin Cerberus, and is serenaded by Pan. #Dailychester #sheepadoodle #dogsofbluesky
