@BruceFraser Canadian bourbon-style whisky from Okanagan Spirits is a really excellent selection if you’re looking to try. I’ve been a bourbon drinker a long time and I am really happy to have found this (ships Canada-wide). True bourbon method, all Canadian ingredients.

Received an interesting #bourbon from my brother in the States. Looking forward to giving this Series 2 release from Hidden Barn a try. Still not buying any bourbon these days but it's nice to have that connection in the US.

@jonimitchell I love this. I’m probably 1 of millions w/ a story to tell about this song’s impact, but it was Both Sides Now that inspired me to gather the sum of my savings & (w a little kind input from my folks) buy my first guitar 50 yrs ago. Been writing & playing ever since. Thank you.

Last month, SOCAN presented Joni with the Cultural Impact Award for “Both Sides Now,” honoring the song for its “indelible mark on music and culture.” Photo by Marie-Michèle Bouchard

@JoanneLynnNS @Trupanion I am so sorry for your loss.

We lost our Maudie today to leukemia after months of her fighting. Thank you to Maritime Emergency and Specialty Care, Playful Paws and @Trupanion. We were so lucky to have her for the last two and half years. Never had a small dog make so many feel big💔

This year every step you take helps support Parker Street’s emergency assistance and food programs, making a real difference for families in need in our community. Registration link: raceroster.com/events/2025/10…

@TheVeronicaT @Collect_A_Con Thinking of you and your family.

My apologies to all, Due to a family emergency, I’ll be unable to attend @Collect_A_Con in Charlotte, NC this weekend, Aug 9-10. I’m sorry to cancel at such short notice but the situation has changed quite rapidly. I’m unable to respond to social media. Thanks for understanding.

@lynn2wine Such a great show. Loved it.
