Glad to see a new business opening on Somerset West in Ottawa's Centretown. Instant du Palais's West African cuisine joins a variety of restaurants on Chinatown's eastern edge.

Out at the @RoyalOakPubs on Bank Street to watch the last period (and then first OT) of the @PWHL_Ottawa Charge, but representing my @UConnHuskies & enjoying some of my old college days beer, @BuschBeer. Glad to see the Charge make it to the finals!

@swellmacks @nbcsnl Right down to the "I don't know what that was."

@nbcsnl someone in that writers room watched the community cold open with the dean’s payday rap this week huh

not your average uber ride

Spotted an optimist's take on the coming rainy weather here in Ottawa after a few beautiful days of sun.

Out for pub grub at Centretown's legendary Pour Boy pub and found "PENIS" and "Boobs" carved into the table top. You never know what surprises Somerset West will throw at you. My fish & chips were tasty. Highlight, of course, was my brilliant, funny and stunning wife.

Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100+ pollinators. The flower will take days to die, and in that time will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well. The exposed pollinators don't die quickly, as they would with insecticide exposure. The death is slower and more brutal. In the case of bumblebees, they lose their ability to see colors, can't find flowers, and starve to death. If the dandelions truly are a hell no for your yard, pull them. Don't spray them.

@UConnWBB Love it. Syla Swords needs more visibility.

Mark your calendars 📅 The Huskies will begin a two-game series with Michigan on Nov. 5 in Ann Arbor!

Patios packed and windows open on Elgin Street for the @Senators vs @Canes. Great day for a dog walk and every bar I passed had the game on and people watching. This weather will be gone tomorrow so glad so many are out enjoying it.

Canine diem! My dog is loving this unusually warm weather here in Ottawa. I'm glad he can't read the weather. Cold and rainy for a few days starting tomorrow, but for now it's all about the hot weather and great smells in the air. (And barking at squirrels. Sorry, neighbours.)

@valkyries @c_ducharme3 Maybe she won't make it. Maybe the injuries are too much. F**k it. She's gonna try. No more "team mom" but player. All the "Nah she's done" types are talking more about themselves and how they never tried than about her. Respect the grit.

Championship standard. Golden State grit. ⚔️ The Valkyries have signed Caroline Ducharme to a Training Camp contract. Welcome, @c_ducharme3!

More from the "Never know what you'll see in Centretown" file. Walking around Ottawa and saw these shoes neatly arranged on the steps outside a building along Somerset Street West near the Art House Cafe. No idea what the stories is, but that's Centretown for you.

@UConnWBB @c_ducharme3 @valkyries This UConn alum and Canuck has committed to be a @TempoBasketball fan. But now the @valkyries do this for my fave #33 and… wow. Thanks, Golden State. Give her a chance.

ready for the next level 💜 Caroline Ducharme has signed a training camp contract with the Golden State Valkyries!

Might be hard to read, but a future entrepreneur wrote in chalk on the sidewalk: Girl Guide Cookies $6.00 ↑ I spotted a number of these messages in Ottawa's Centretown while out walking my dog.

@UConnWBB @c_ducharme3 The only player's merch I've ever bought. Hard work, resilience, leadership. 33 = never, ever quit.

The definition of resilient. An incomparable teammate and team mom. National Champion. Thanks for being a Husky, Caroline Ducharme 💙

Something I love about living in downtown Ottawa is you never know what hopeful and supportive surprises you're going to find. I spotted these two stickers on a seemingly out of place "No Stopping" sign in the Percy Street underpass.

Living in downtown Ottawa with its boring & drab buildings, it's easy to forget there's beauty in this city. Went for a walk on this gorgeous spring day and checked out the canal just waiting to be filled up again, Kiweki Point in Major's Hill Park and then down Sparks Street.

@AaliyahEdwards_ Go where life takes you, but this UConn alum living in Ottawa would ❤️ to see you playing for @TempoBasketball.

Unlocking side quests🎤🤭

@tooextra___ Yup

They had no leader this whole season at UConn and it showed the most tonight! Nobody to keep them together. Sarah had her vocal moments but they didn’t have a real leader. To lead mentally and physically

This didn't age well. :-(
