The brave wee peelers of ‘Blue Lights’ are just doing the best they can, and that makes for addictive drama.

"Choosing not to go for it" is not one of Dickens's faults as a writer.
The opening page of 'Bleak House' by Charles Dickens is always a treat.

Killer moment from a very fun Saturday night.
I got to make the entire karaoke crowd sing "Okay Blue Jays" with me last night at a charity media event, so we can tick that one off the ol' bucket list!

This was a great moment from last year's Newzapalooza party - my drums still have the beer stains.

I'm looking forward to performing at this tonight! Anyone who knows me knows that the only thing I love more than journalism succeeding in the face of an increasingly volatile and underfunded climate full of bad actors who slander the free press in order to further their own goals...is karaoke
It's mostly been bad news for journalists this year/decade/century, but here's some good news: Newzapalooza, the live-band karaoke charity party for journalists and media folks, is back on Nov 22 at The Duke (Queen St E, Toronto). Party for a good cause.
