For 14 yrs our twin boys shared a room, then their older sister left for uni (then came back, we renovated, everyone's happy). T got his own bed in her old room, but C was on a mattress on the floor for a year. So he and I built this. It was super fun to do, and we got to hang out + use power tools.

Kicking off the season with a viewing of The Muppet Christmas Carol, as is customary, and struck once again by its brilliance which lies squarely with Michael Caine's decision to play it straight, despite the fact that he's playing opposite a bunch of wisecracking pieces of felt.

It occurs to me that I bought two new Blue Jays hats this year, and they made it to the World Series but lost in Game 7.
Ergo if I buy three hats next year

What do you say? One of the best baseball games I've ever seen, but it broke the wrong way. Devastating, disappointing, brutal. But that shouldn't take away from what these Jays did this year. Absolutely my favourite Jays team, the most engaging, the easiest to root for, the most beautiful.

This bar started off about 50/50 in terms of those invested in this game vs those indifferent but it's swung around to 100%
