๐Ÿ‹ Issue #39 - Superb Owl Hangover Edition

Lots of blogging and lots of linking in this email.

Welcome to issue #39!

Heya! Thanks for reading this far. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Truth be told, I was standing in a hockey rink watching my kidโ€™s game last night, not lounging on the couch with appetizers and football on. He scored a goal and his team won their game, which is pretty much like winning the Super Bowl I think.

On to the email!


Words I Wrote

Links to blog or social media posts I published in the past week.

  • Noah Kahan - The Great Divide - One of my favourite singers is releasing new music.

Picture From My Life

Happy warm-enough in February so snow melts and causes issues in our window well season to all who celebrate!
