Am I a Winnipegger Yet? April 5th, 2011. I haven’t had a sudden “I’m a Winnipegger! And getting around the neighbourhood. The first few times someone said to me, “Nice boots! 8221;, I thought maybe I was being gently teased for my sensible footwear. I figured that others thought the boots were a bit over the top, just the sort of thing that a prairie-style Come From Away would wear. But eventually I figured out that they were legitimate compliments. They liked them. They really liked them! Nah, I think i...

On Not Coming of Age in The Peg. May 1st, 2015. But it made me sad in a way, too. I’m an introvert, and as a child, once I realized this about myself, I think it caused me a certain degree of loneliness and anxiety, despite always having had friends. Even then, I understood that the world favours extroversion. Looking back on my 20s, many of my most cherished memories from that time are highly social and decidedly. Where would I have made my stomping grounds? Because I am interested in the city as a fasc...

Tuesday, February 28, 2012. New Belgium Snow Day. Review from January 5th, 2012, via THE NOTEBOOK. New Belgium Snow Day ( Black IPA. New Belgium Brewing Company. What the brewer says.
