Dave’s Last Turkey: A Farewell to Stuart McLean

Bell Let’s Talk Day: Sometimes It IS About the Talking

This is something like the sixth year in a row that I’ve taken part in publicizing Bell Canada’s Let’s Talk Day. It’s one of those rare social media “events” that I actually believe in getting behind. Because of that, allow me to apologize for posting some re-runs in this blog. It’s a busy time in […]

On Stinky Bums and Rosy Feelings

A stench slowly fills the room. “Do you have a stinky bum?” “I don’t have a stinky bum, Daddy.” “Are you sure? ’Cuz I kinda smell a stinky bum.” “I don’t have a stinky bum, Daddy.” “Can I just check?” “I DON’T HAVE A STINKY BUM, DADDY!!!” Screams are screamed, real tears are cried. a […]

On the Spread of “Fake News”

When I can’t sleep at night, I make memes out of things that cause me to not sleep at night.

Learning to Play with a Toddler

I just sent my most recent column off to Local Parent Magazine, which reminded me that I hadn’t posted any of my more recent ones of late.  The October one is on the front page of the site, so relatively easy to find.  I’ve added links to the August/September, June/July, April/May, and February/March pieces below.

Podcast Interview with Linwood Barclay

I chatted with bestselling author Linwood Barclay earlier this autumn as part of my #TrentVoices Literary Series. Our discussion hit on (among a host of other things) Linwood’s early experiences working with Margaret Laurence, the difficulty of writing humour, getting shout-outs from Stephen King, the (not-so) secret Peterborough origins of his crime-story setting of Promise […]

Of Stuffies and Square Dances

I was left to my own devices with the toddler tonight, so I did what any sane individual would do and threw a square dance for the 23-month-old and her coterie of stuffies. I played guitar, sang, and called the steps, making sure that each plush plaything got its fair share of floor time. I […]
