Everyone talks about the montage, but to me it's all about this:

Our proximity to the water in Kingston's Inner Harbour means we live with wildlife, despite essentially being downtown. Rabbits, groundhogs, ducks, doves, finches, robins, crows, squirrels, and our precious children of the night: a colony of big brown bats. Also: a piliated woodpecker.

I'm so scared of rabies, I put on armour for it. And I'm such a millennial that I took a mirror selfie in it.

A man in his late 30s wearing yellow rubber gloves, a mask, glasses, and a Uniqlo rain coat he got on a trip to New York in 2011. The hood is up and pulled tight. The coat is bulging because the man is wearing multiple long sleeve shirts and because he's not 20 anymore.

It never seems to end up on lists, but How to Restore a Timeline is about a father son relationship. If your dad is into bleak but funny pop culture essays and you are near a bookstore with him, check it out.

The book HOW TO RESTORE A TIMELINE by Peter Counter. There is a dialogue box overlayed. It's Goku! He says: Hey! You look like you enjoy culture essays. Go get HOW TO RESTORE A TIMELINE!

One of my favourite parts of moving to Kingston is that my neighbourhood has an amazing quarterly newspaper called The Skeleton Press (edited by @annetheriault.bsky.social and Greg Tilson). Just got my Spring 2026 issue!
