My sister's dogs are bed hogs. Kona likes to sprawl out in the middle of the mattress while Ralphie is given to pacing around at night and burrowing under the covers. They must have awakened a good half dozen times between 5-7 a.m., anxiously looming over me in expectation of an early breakfast. Every time…
February 13, 2020: Montreal Day #1!
Well, Day #1 of my dogsitting stay in Montreal is almost complete. And I am completely exhausted. I caught the second to last flight out of Toronto last night, got in a little after 9:00 p.m., woke up at 4:30 a.m. this morning to drive my sister to the airport, read for several hours, then…

February 10, 2020: I’m Team Habanero!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1226954624650956805 I love spicy. Always have. The heat, obviously, but also the flavors of the varied peppers simmering beneath that deep fire kick. The bottom shelf of my refrigerator is occupied by my hot sauce collection (much to Akemi's chagrin) with names like Brain Damage, Memento Muerte, and Howler Monkey. Although I have a high…

Come on! Let's get moving! That expectant look. The bath time routine... https://youtu.be/ffjx_AWtvkU Yech! Daughter-Daddy time.
February 8, 2020: Serial killer, you say?
Majority of serial killers are Taurus, study claims I am not in the least surprised. "Is your friend a Taurus? Does he or she obsess over murder and watch way too much “CSI”? There’s a good reason to be wary now." And yet it's always the same. Whenever police catch a serial killer, the neighbors…
February 7, 2020: Sliding on over…
Scientists are searching for a mirror universe. It could be sitting right in front of you. What's this? On the heels of our discussion about seeking out a new timeline comes this article from NBC News on the search for a mirror universe! Coincidence? Maaaaybe. OR - maybe not! Is this a sign? Some echo…
February 6, 2020: The Evening Edition!
Took a HUGE schnitz today at Country Style Hungarian Restaurant. As did my friend Robbie. Akemi opted for the cabbage roll. It has been a while. In fact, now that I think on it, I believe the last time I had schnitzel was at The Black Forest Inn in Hamilton during Dark Matter's third season. It…

February 4, 2020: Akemi-isms! Project update! Lunches, lunches, and dinners!
https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1224512961458450434 Wait! Have I already shifted out of the dark timeline? Received a message today regarding a project I have been working on with this lovable individual - Yes, I'm collaborating with Ed the Sock (and, oh yeah, also his handler, the lovely and talented Steve Kerzner) on a high concept procedural. Anyway, we're scheduling…
February 3, 2020: This is the dark timeline!
If you needed any more proof, look no further than yesterday's Super Bowl. I need to get back to my Reality Prime where, I expect, I'll be receiving good news on one of my projects before week's end. Wish me luck on my journey back! Feast your eyes on this haul! This past weekend, Akemi…

Spoilers for Super Bowl 54!
Super Bowl 54 will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes and the Chiefs offense has looked positively unbeatable rolling into the big game, marching up and down the field and scoring seemingly at will, averaging 43 points in their last two post-season games. They are reminiscent of the…
