This week’s edition of what seems to be my weekly newsletter, for now at least. If you like to get things in your inbox, you can sign up here. If you don’t, you can read more below.
Hello! So, this seems to be a weekly thing now. I wonder how long that will last. I also hope you don’t feel like weekly is too often. Let me know if you do.
Last weekend was the long weekend in British Columbia and, miraculously, I had nothing scheduled. It gave me time to decompress and think and it’s actually been a long time since that happened. I read a book by my cousin-in-law, spent time cleaning out a room I’d allowed junk to accumulate in, skied in deep snow on Cranbrook Hill on Saturday and returned with snowshoes on Monday, tried an ice slide, watched a documentary about Germans idolizing Indigenous North Americans, and listened to a podcast about the importance of giving yourself time to decompress and think. It was eye-opening how healthy it felt and I need to do it more.
And, I set a secret goal (shhh, don’t tell anyone) of writing a personal post every day. Which I kept! I’m going to see how long I can do it and pursue the notion that the more you write, the better you write.
Because of this, I have less to say here which is maybe just as well. Maybe instead of a 1,000 word missive in your inbox you’d prefer a couple paragraphs and then some links, like what I’m doing here. Again– feedback welcome. This is your time, too.

Also:
I wrote about how an unused Prince George mascot illustrates the plight of isolated B.C. seniors, why B.C. municipalities want cash from legal marijuana (hint: because they think it will cost them lots of money), “conscious dating“, a B.C. parent trying to see a provincial report she contributed to and the loss of the Windy Point Inn near Mackenzie (never got to try the donuts). A story about the really, really complicated science of curling will be coming out over the weekend.
On the podcast, some of the above but also an interview with Premier John Horgan, a dog hotel, gender-neutral washrooms in Fort St. John and a couple of theatrical productions you can check out in Prince George this weekend.
Before I go…
I just want to alert you to a really cool event that’s coming up in Prince George. I’ve seen all the performers, they are powerful and the Playhouse is an excellent venue.
Reasons to walk: you see messages in the snow replying to writing on the wall
(In case you can’t read it, the snow says “No we don’t”).
Made this delicious pizza this week. Just used a normal crust recommended.
And, kinda tempted by this old electric piano.
Have a great weekend. Make time to rest.
