Jesus. Say what you will about AirCanada and Westjet. But I believe they’ve kept the number of knife fights between pilots in the cabin mid flight to less than 1.

The Vikings have landed in Vancouver. They’ve probably already pillaged the closest Starbucks.

I’m always fascinated watching the floatplanes land/takeoff on the water in Vancouver. That’s it. That’s the bluesk.

I like that the Vancouver airport leaves dedicated space for unmanned Golf carts.

I accidentally took TWO of my “one-day” vitamins this morning. Might see if I can settle this trade war.

Our 12 year old daughter just taught me the password my wife set to watch shows for ages 14 plus. First week of school year is really paying off.

What a powerful message it would send if hundreds of thousands of Canadians suspended their subscriptions to American film streamers, if only for a month or two, in order to explore the National Film Board of Canada’s catalogue. We already own it. #ElbowsUp larrycornies.substack.com/p/lights-dow...

I sometimes think that the reason laundry isn’t put away properly at our house in a timely manner is because my wife and daughters are procrastinators. Then I remember that I’m pretty sure there’s still laundry of mine left in the dryer of my dorm at York Universiry from 1990.

I went to give $250 to our almost 12 year old daughter for spending money on a weeklong swimteam trip and my wife said “that’s way too much” and pocketed $50. My wife is a devious genius.

Finally got to theatre to see the latest Spiderman movie. Pretty crazy when everyone finds out that he’s Odysseus’ son Telemachus.

I just made a “Home Alone” reference to one of our show producers who for sure wasn’t born until after Macaulay Culkin had left the franchise. Way to go GenXassaurus.

I just said “good morning” to our 6 year old and she said “stop singing. It hurts my brain!”. Those summer camp counsellors are going to earn their money today.

Our almost 12 year old daughter has taken to call me “Steve” instead of “dad”. Looking forward to settling in for the teen years.

When your 7 year old daughter paints your nails and swears it will “wash off easily”. But it doesn’t. So you just go to a work meeting anyway…

My daughter didn’t finish her mini-wheats this morning and they soaked up every milliliter of milk. They should use this stuff in flood regions.

Love this. Calling out the rampant rip-offs being performed from within the White House, while himself being named “Whitehouse” is perfect. I’d like Mike Myers to play him in a sketch. Oh and every time he removes his glasses, you drink. And there’s another pair of glasses underneath…

Happy 7th birthday to our Norah. Always ready to laugh, eager to learn, and eager to TEACH. All who’ve met her believe she’ll bypass acting and go straight into directing. She got her mom’s looks and smarts, and my impatience. She’s already asked for a car in 9 years. Don’t grow up too fast NoNo!

Me: Is this chicken in the fridge still good? My wife Nancy: I wouldn’t eat it or feed it to the girls. But you can have it. 15 years married. Life insurance up to date apparently.

I’m just a man. Watching his two daughters in their gymnastics class. Desperately wishing they would acknowledge me with a small wave or something. So the other girls in the class don’t think I’m just a man who showed up randomly to watch a girls gym class.
