I never sleep well the night before I fly and last night was no exception. It was a night of tossing and turning and weird dreams. One particularly disturbing one I remember involves me walking onto the set of a new Dark Matter episode. But because the production didn’t have any money, it was being done on the cheap. The Raza set was half-finished, just a lot of exposed, unpainted wood. And the script was only 26 minutes long. Furthermore, I hadn’t written it! I remember panicking, grabbing a copy of the script and presuming I could do a pass on whatever had been written only to read it and realize it was beyond saving. What a nightmare.
So I woke up at 6:30 a.m. this morning, not feeling particularly rested, took Sharky for a walk (He finally pooped almost 48 hours since his last one and only an hour before leaving for the airport!). The flight was quite smooth all things considered. Bit of a late departure and arrival, I forgot (and had to retrieve) some presents I left behind, but Sharky slept peacefully through the flight at our feet in his little sherpa carrier.

Ready to go!

Well, I am positively exhausted. Going to sleep early tonight. Can’t wait to find out how that Dark Matter episode turned out.

He looks like such a sweet little baby boy.
Have you guys ever tried Porter? I’m kinda curious because they are doing some expanding into the US and I know they are Toronto-based. I’ve heard nothing but good things.
Please give Sharky some cuddles for me.

We usually fly Porter but the last time we did this same time last year we were delayed three hours. So, this time, we went Air Canada instead.
That dream sounds like a show runner’s version of the “in a classroom about to write a test that I had no idea was happening” dream. Or maybe it’s a premonition of a Dark Matter revival? I’d work up a couple of spare scripts, just in case.
Great to see your Mom!
And get some rest!
I guess that the dog was not such a big fan of the plane 🤣
He was surprisingly great on the flight. Slept through it.
Good to see your mom looking so well! Looks like she’s preparing to feed you some of her classic dishes. Tell her all her fans say “hi!”
Sharky knows when it’s time to poo. What did his grandma and Aunt think about him? I bet Andria can give you good tips on dealing with a blind dog. He is sooooo cute. Glad he is getting to go on this trip.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. Safe travels on your return home.
I would LOVE to see the return of Dark Matter, especially if you are show runner and writer. I miss it and wish we could have seen the story told to its completion. I miss seeing the crew and have been trying to follow each in new roles.
