After yesterday, I've decided to retire my pirate outfit. It served me well for 6 years, but it is showing its age now. Got something else in mind for the Festival and next season.

Not the way I wanted to close up the cottage for 2026, but that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose. At least Grey Cup will be stress free for me. Always look on the bright side!

Day 172 of the #UltimateGCFU. WELCOME TO WINNIPEG! There's one more goal (that is achievable in the time left) to hit. THE ARGOS LONGEST DROUGHT! 11,320. Have to try to hit that in 14 days, but I could also do it in Calgary as the final day of this is the 14th. 👍

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
