Alright, fine, I'll introduce myself! Sheesh, stop asking! (Nobody asked.)
I am:
- Canadian
- a children's TV Head Writer (most recently "Mojo Swoptops" and "Supertato" for CBeebeis)
- a writer of supposedly humorous novels ("A Hundred Billion Ghosts" and others)
- a proud liberal
- a human (AFAIK)

Saw #Jaws in Imax last night. Incredible, as expected.
Question: If there are usually no sharks swimming around Amity and this one was an aberration, why did Quint, a professional shark hunter, live there?

Doing this tonight! I've seen it 643,229 times (give or take), but never in a theatre with an audience. Will it be the best thing that has ever happened? Maybe.

It's fun when the hole in your sock gets so big, you could put the sock on from either end and have basically the same experience.

Flu skeet #4:
I don't think it's a flu anymore.
There's a new strain of Covid with exactly these distinguishing symptoms. So I'm going to just assume it's that.
Zero stars for Covid Nimbus. Not as good as the first Covid.

I've discovered that, with the flu, I can write for hours because I have no awareness of the passage of time. It might be a superpower. I am... the Incredible Flu Man!

I have washed my hands 637 times today. I didn't keep track, but I feel certain the number is accurate. You can tell by counting the rings in the fingers I've scrubbed off.

I have the flu. Alert the authorities.
The thing about a flu is, a lot of it is unpleasant, but some of it is kind of cool. Time disappears into a haze. And a fever, properly managed, gets you some awesome dreams.

Me, every time I have a headache or something:
"I should take a Tylenol."
I take one.
A while later, pain goes away.
"Oh, I guess I didn't need that Tylenol after all."

Cats are masters at blending into their environments. They can render themselves virtually invisible to the human eye. There may be a cat in the room with you right now and you wouldn't even know it... until it's too late.

We have another one. That makes 7.
His name is Arnold. So naturally, as long as we have him, whenever he jumps up on the furniture I will say, "Ah-nold! Get down! Get to the choppah!"
Every time. I promise.
