In this decade I've moved from London to Toronto and back home to Vancouver. With each unpacking, I found new and different pleasures in life and work. I am grateful for it all as #2020 approaches. Happy New Year to all may we have happiness and less division in our world.

Sad to learn John Mann of @sotw has died, too soon at 57. Powerful songwriter, performer and person. Sympathies to his wife Jill Daum, family, bandmates, friends. His music was the soundtrack to a good chunk of my life. John's gone home. #takemehome

This week @cbcwhatonearth is into power: power grids. Climate change is bringing more frequent harsher storms, meaning more potential for blackouts, brownouts and chaos. Witness Texas just weeks ago. Have you lived through a power outage? Share your memories with us here.
