Had a visit from this lovely group of Grey Partridge this morning. #yyc

Finished the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book by Matt Dinniman. Lots of fun.

Just finished listening to "A Trade of Blood", Robert Jackson Bennett's third book in his Shadow of the Leviathan series. The book narration by Andrew Fallaize is fantastic.

Happy Ada Lovelace Day to those who celebrate.

And I continue to just phone these in. #Inktober2026 #inktober Day 5 Smack, and Day 6 Ogre.

Another glassy day at the Glenmore Revervoir. #yyc #glenmorereservoir

OMG. Not Sass Jordan. She was such a great singer and a wonderful person. Racine is the number one album on my road trip list.

Indiana Jones and the Hunt for Kevin. #inktober2026 #day2 #relic

#inktober2026 begins. It's barely a doodle but you've got to start somewhere. I might add an apple to tomorrow's drawing. #apple #inktober #day1

Went for a nice walk thru Ralph Klein Park this morning. On the one hand it would be nice for a path that leads deeper into the marsh area. On the other hand it's great that the birds don't have to put up with humans walking deeper into the marsh area. #yyc

Glenmore Reservoir is smooth like glass today. And the downstream side is taking on a nice autumnal glow.

Great day in #YYC for a bike ride. And I got to watch the Calgary Fire Department practicing rescues off the back of the Glenmore Dam. Neat-o

If you finish off a roll of aluminum foil, or saran wrap, and you don't make trumpety sounds through the empty tube, who are you really?

"Sea of Charms" by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social is beautiful. A smile-on-your-face read.

It amazes me that David Byrne is still creating A+ music. I am grateful.

Hey @rottentomatoes.com can you to start tagging which movies are using AI? Would be quite useful.

"The Dragon Has Some Complaints" by @wiswell.bsky.social is delightful. Warm and funny. 5/5 dragons awarded.

Coyote VS Acme is probably the most fun you will have at the movies this year. It's great. A pox on anyone that was involved in trying to shelve this gem.

Finished the 9th Rivers of London book, "Amongst Our Weapons", by @benaaronovitch.bsky.social How can each book be better than the last? Seems impossible, but it's true.

I'll (try to) resist the temptation to complain about the state of the world, and instead just say how blessed we all were to have Dolly Parton among us.

Really enjoyed "The The Last Contract of Isako" by @fondalee.bsky.social. Nice and twisty. And fantastic narration by the always superb @maryrobinettekowal.com

I've read and enjoyed a couple of Kate Quinn's historical fiction books. So I wasn't sure what to expect from her non-historical "The Astral Library". It's a fun and very satisfying read.

In "Murder and the Missing Treasure" by @cjarcher.bsky.social Cleo once again saves the day. But more importantly she says the word "discombobulated". You can't go wrong with that kind of action.

"The Golden Enclaves" by @naominovik.bsky.social was a great ending to the Scholomance series. Every book was a banger from the first page to the last.

"Moss'd in Space" by @rebeccathorne.bsky.social is a whole bunch-o-fun, and a delightful read. Warm like a blanket made of Moss. I can't wait for the next in the series.

Today I had a "How come I didn't know about this song/person" moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxUq... #carolinerose #yipyipyow

Just finished the fun romp that is "The Feywild Job" by @clpolk.com. Here's hoping that Timtim gets his own adventure.

Just finished "The Healing Hippo of Hinode Park" by Michiko Aoyam. And it wasn't until near the end of one of the stories that I realized it directly related to what I was going through. So epiphany achievement unlocked. Also, it's a good book.

Busy busy. What quick thing can I make for supper. Oh, I bought Pinty's this week, I can have chicken wings. Oh look, they gave me extra sauce. Bonus! Oh, it's all sauce. The whole damn box.

Hey #yyc I know you all want to get to your Canada day activities but you don't need to drive like maniacs to get there

"Startup Hell" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social was a whole lotta fun. Although the marketing bits were so true to life that it was scary.

I really loved "The Witch Roads" by @kateelliottsff.bsky.social Can't wait to get my hands on the next in the series.

Just finished "The Grimoire Grammer School Parent Teacher Association" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social and it was wonderful. I love it when books make you smile.

The Scholomance series by @naominovik.bsky.social is a ton of fun. Just finished devouring "The Last Graduate". Can't wait to start on the third book.

The universe of Murderbot just keeps getting better each time. "Platform Decay" by @marthawells.com is fab.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

My review of "Automatic Noodle" by @annaleen.bsky.social

Just finished the delightful "Dreadful" by @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social . Nice tongue-in-cheek tale of Dark Wizards, redemption, and garlic.

Really enjoyed "The Geomagician" by @jennifermandula.bsky.social. Lots of magical fossil hunting fun.

I have a deep dislike for people that finish an ebook and hang onto it until the hold expires instead of returning it to the library. That's top level dog-in-a-manger stuff.

Just finished "The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart" by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social . Had a perma-smile on my face for most of the book. Great story for young and old.

Really enjoyed "The Faraway Inn" by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social . Cozy magical Inn. Cake and Tea. Can't go wrong with that.
