Downbeat
I found myself alone at the office again today and decided that the best soundtrack to my Monday would be a Spotify Playlist that I have listened to many times. It’s a laid-back series of tracks that set a good mood. The music selection is relaxing and fills the room with sharp tunes but doesn’t […]

The Book of Boba Fett E02
While part of me wishes that the Star Wars universe and franchise ended with the original three movies, there is another part of me that is happy that we get to explore this universe in more detail. The second and third film trilogies were at best frustrating and at worst kind of sad, but it […]

Good Food WOW Delivery
Pretty soon after the pandemic hit us in March 2020 — when I realized that I would be spending a lot of time at home — I decided to finally get a weekly subscription to the meal kit company, Good Food. I had considered it a few times before, but given how much I had been […]

David Bowie’s Blackstar
With our government-mandated, Omicron pandemic office shut down, I found myself in our 4,000 square foot space all alone today. So, I decided to put on our Sonos system and blast David Bowie’s final album, Blackstar. I have a pretty deep emotional connection this album, as it was released about a month before my mother […]

💉💉💉
Amid the soaring Omicron-driven fifth wave of the pandemic, I managed to score myself my booster vaccine on my first day of eligibility. I was pretty happy to get this next step of the pandemic done, and hopefully, in a few weeks, things will start to look better. Then again, I’m not a doctor, a […]

Steve Thompson on…
mixing Metallica’s …And Justice for All …And Justice for All is my favourite Metallica album and the one that introduced me to them. When I heard One for the first time I really understood what all the attention was about. Even now when I put on that song it is as tight as possible and […]

Pop Fly Pop Shop
A little while ago — I think on Twitter — I stumbled across the artwork of Daniel at Pop Fly Pop Shop. As a fan of comics, baseball and superheroes, I fell in love instantly with the style of his weekly, limited edition art prints. So I signed up for his newsletter hoping that one day there […]

Move: A 30 Day Yoga Challenge
Over the summer of 2021, I decided to personally take advantage of the weekly Yoga class that we had set up for our team. I had started walking for exercise about a year earlier, and I felt like I needed to do a little more. Within weeks, I had fallen in love with everything that […]

Home Office COVID-19 2020
For the first two weeks after we shut down our physical office and went to 100% remote work, I sat at the kitchen table. Without anything set-up, I felt like it was completely fine and I could keep working that way. When Steve brought over my monitor and office chair, I quickly realized what I […]

New Orleans, LA
I had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans in early February 2020 first to attend Owner Summit 2020 and second, to explore the city over the weekend. Of all the photos I took over the weekend, this one was the most representative of the New Orleans and specifically the French Quarter experience. While some of […]

San Diego, CA – Laguna Beach, CA
Thanks to the opportunity to speak at MCN’s annual conference, I was able to get in a trip to San Diego, CA, right as Montreal is settling into a wintery deep freeze. After the event ended, I took Amtrak to Orange Country to visit some relatives for a few days.

New York City, NY – Washington, DC
This trip was easily one of the best of the year as I got to visit two cities, attend a conference and attend my first and second ever World Series games. The Nationals lost both games I attended but managed to pull off a feat never accomplished previously; win a World Series by losing all […]

Hell’s Kitchen ➡️ Washington Square Park
After a full day in-doors at a conference, I needed to get in a pleasant and brisk New York City walk. Starting in Hell’s Kitchen, my goal was to make it to Washington Square Park and back while taking as different a route as possible. I started in Time’s Square and took Broadway down to […]

It’s a beautiful little stadium, and while the Astroturf field makes sense functionally, it does take a little bit […]

Three of a Perfect Week: Big Indian, NY – Philadelphia, PA

Folk Festival Trip, St. John’s, NL
After four annual visits in a row in the early 2010s, I took a six-year hiatus from visiting one of my favourite places in the world, St. John’s, NL. In 2019, I was given the best excuse in a long time to get on a plane back to The Rock. A few months earlier, my […]
