Strombo's Mom

It pains me to have to say that this latest random and coincidental reference to my home town comes thanks to a certain quarterback's extended 15-minutes of fame by turning pigskin play into pulpit preaching. Nevertheless, it was this sweet Tweet treat from CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos concerning his Mom...

For the record, there shall be NO Tebowing here as a result of this latest co-in-key-dink!

Need a Shark Tank or Lap Pool?

After catching the Denver Broncos come from behind win over the Chicago Bears, I decided to venture out in the cold to grab some artery-clogging kibbles at Dangerous Dans, chocolate and Coke.

Nursing a nasty chest cold, Wes stayed back at the loft. Not wanting to start watching The Simpsons Christmas episode without me, he flipped over to CTV to mindlessly watch a show featuring architecture and a renovated building in Vancouver. So it's a Canadian network, a Canadian show about a Canadian city and Canadian architects.

One of the amazing features of this building is that the rooftop lap pool doubles as the skylight for the penthouse suite. Click on the YouTube link and I'll let the video pick up at this point...

Of course, the only source in North America is, where else??!
