There were no obituaries in today's paper. People are calling, wondering what happened to them. Just ... nobody died.

Three sperm whales were stranded in shallow waters off P.E.I.'s north shore over the weekend. As of Monday afternoon at least one, possibly two, had died. Efforts are underway to see what, if anything, can be done for the third. Clip posted with permission from originator.

My latest column.

“Thank you for smiling,” she said softly, her face serious, without a trace of a smile of her own.
There was such a sad, earnest look in her eyes as she said this.
It broke my heart.

"I’m no expert, but if you find yourself doing anything just to hurt someone, it’s time to stop and reevaluate some things – maybe talk to a professional about what is actually bothering you."

#PEI folks have loads of cool treasures just sitting around the house.
I thought it would be neat to share some of them.
We'll see if anyone bites. I started with my (hopefully not cursed) sword. Check it out.

If you don't like onions or peas on your fries with the works than I'm sorry we can't be friends.
You don't mess with a classic. 🤷‍♂️

So, I'm a tad late posting my Halloween-themed column as I was off work dealing with a few things last week.
But better late than never. #PEI

My most recent column. I struggled a bit with this one, trying to expressed my thoughts on why I avoid online discourse as much as possible. But I took a shot at it.

Fall in #PEI makes me think of firewood.
Firewood makes me think of my grandmother.
My latest column is about her. Thanks for reading.

"This is a column, after all. Not a news story. So, take my opinions for what they are worth. Which, on a small-town reporter’s salary is, let’s say, discounted."
