Husband to a writer, father of artists and engineers. Long career in tech. Globally curious, happily Philly.
Original YTV staff member here. Think Canadian Nickelodeon. The CRTC licensed entire demographic-based channels so that broadcasters could pull in big ad $$ on US programming while also spending $ on Canadian productions as a condition for being able to do so. Like us. We did that really really well

Suggest the books of Wendy Long Stanley, who researched early records and wrote an historical fiction novel about how Betsy Ross could have been the person who did that, and why it reasonably might not have been well known.
I’m biased about her work, but the research was pretty thorough…

Rode out Wilma just north of Tulum in 05. The biggest issue for us was lack of comms after all the towers blew down. Total devastation on the ground and the tall glass hotels were poor choices. The smaller buildings did surprisingly ok as long as they were set back from the beach.

Closely related, the drive until you can find a hotel with an open room on a long weekend…

A lot like a wrinkle in time. Trying to be taken seriously

Betsy Ross sewed American flags while Philadelphia was occupied with British troops.

Did the same thing with Scott Pilgrim. Also a classic you can watch many times in a row…

Watched it on repeat on a flight back from Tokyo one time. It got better on repeat…
