Dear diary….

Not me specifically. Just everyone involved in an organization I was part of. It was made online, via social media, with someone essentially saying he knew where we lived and he would kill us and burn our cars and other unsavory things.

Last year’s summer was cloudy and wet. Every month either set or came close to setting records for dark and rainfall. Unfortunately, this summer is starting to look like it might go the same way. Last year, I spent a bunch of time waiting for the weather to get better. This year, I’m just starting […]

September always feels like the real beginning of a new year to me. There’s an obvious divide between seasons, plus going to school of some form for 18 years has imprinted the idea on me in a way I don’t think I’ll ever shake. But January is always the place where I take stock– not […]

I received an email today from someone wanting to know about the music I use as a bed when I do the arts round-up segment for CBC. This was my reply: Hi (name), Andrew here. The music that I use is an instrumental version of the Wu-Tang Clan song “C.R.E.A.M.” I would warn you before […]

Yesterday, my wife received a text message. Someone had found two ferrets locked in a cage in an abandoned apartment. The owner had moved out two days earlier. They hadn’t bothered taking the ferrets with them. Today, they were rescued, assessed, and put into the care of a volunteer. In spring of this year, she […]

I’m producing Daybreak North today. That sounds bigger than it probably is, since I’m only holding things together for a day, as opposed to actually taking on the full-on management portions of the producer’s job. Still, I’m nervous. And excited. Two years ago, I didn’t know what I was going to be doing. I was […]
