Daneeka’s phone helpfully put together a “Valentine’s Day photo collage” of me this morning. It was cute and would have felt romantic… except that the music that it chose would better suit an In Memoriam presentation.

If I may, here's David Gutnick's 2011 documentary on the Hawkins Cheezies company, as it aired on CBC's flagship weekend news magazine, Sunday Edition -- if you want a simultaneous example of why local companies like these are essential to the country, and why the CBC is too.

I grew up as a book-loving kid loving "the bookstore with the tree growing inside". I'm so thrilled that Little Miss A gets that same joy.

Little Miss A is stuffing her face with cheese and crackers before we bike down to the river for a toboggan walk. Drivers gave me even more passing room the way that I strapped the toboggan to the cargo bike. 😛

Something new today! A mom at daycare pickup asked tons of questions about winter biking with a toddler. Her husband biked to/from work today, she said, but they don’t have any of the little kid gear. Let the machinations begin!

Another stellar daycare dropoff by #CargoBike. Winter cycling is a ton of fun. Slower than normal, but better than the alternative for my mental and physical health.

We met up with @lastghostbike.bsky.social while he’s in Winnipeg on his x-country bike ride! A winter bike ride on the Assiniboine River might be my favourite group ride yet. 😍

Severance continues to knock it out of the park with S2E2! The new title animation sequence is wonderfully full of mind terrors. Hit me with your conspiracy theories!
