Toronto friends — on Sunday, April 19 at 6 PM, I’ll be taking the stage at Burdock Music Hall (1184 Bloor St. W.) for Replay Story Fest 3: Spontaneous True Tales — An Evening of Improv Stories, Risk & Reward. @replaystorytelling The concept is simple: five seasoned improvisers telling true personal stories, with absolutely no preparation. No notes, no script, no clue where it’s going until we get onstage. This means the evening could contain: - unexpected revelations, emotional whiplash, accidental oversharing, a story that somehow ends better than actual life choices, five people publicly discovering whether instinct is courage or just poor planning. You know. Art or something like it. So come witness the risk, the reward, and the very real possibility that one of us talks ourselves into a corner we can never leave. 🎤 Replay Story Fest 3 📅 Sunday, April 19, 2026 🕕 6:00 PM 📍 Burdock Music Hall, 1184 Bloor St. W. 🎟️ Tickets: replaystoryfest.com

This sandwich bag has zero emotional expectations of you.

Underneath this blanket is a dog. This dog is in self-sentenced dog jail. This dog has forgotten that peeing on the carpet inside is not allowed and is serving her own sentence. She has air and can get out whenever she wants but I am all in favour of her chosen penance.

Sounds like something I did at Burning Man.

Me not doing the Toronto waterfront marathon!

A kind colleague brought in apples from their tree. Office sharing is nice but I want tongs so I don’t have to touch the tongs everyone else touched. #apples #plague #sharing
