Early in parenthood I realized that the best picture books are miracles, because you will read them over and over (and over and over) and the ones that delight you every time are to be cherished. THE PARTY by Barbara Reid is one of my all-time faves.

Same. I don’t think it’s a considerate thing to do to a kid at all.

One of my firmest digital-age opinions is that surprising anyone and then posting it for the views — even a “good” surprise like a relative coming home — is inherently exploitative, and that goes double for doing it to kids.

I have thought more than once this postseason about how lucky we are to have the Sportsnet team throughout the postseason instead of being force-fed Fox coverage.

Anytime a game starts after 9 pm, my primary concern is always “when is it safe for me to go to bed”

Oof, good luck. It was a tough call but I have to coach basketball until 10 pm tonight and I don’t want to pass out on the gym floor. And we have to do this two more nights in a row? I hope the Jays score 11 runs by the fourth inning tonight
