For ANY student out there afraid to get tested for Covid-19 in Newfoundland & Labrador.
It's ok.
Could have easily been anyone of us.
Call. Go make sure you are ok.
Got a long crazy fun life in front of ya.
Take care of yourself. 😀

He crawls into bed with me at 2am.
He asks if I want the last piece of bacon.
He sings while he walks around the house and
asks if I'm o.k during rough days
Happy 7th Birthday to this tiny human
who makes me want to be better person.

Sad day for our Province.
Losing the best live music venue we've ever had to Newfoundlanders & LabradorIan's making jokes about this devastation.
Guess we only treat mainlanders with kindness.

You are handling this crisis perfectly. With class, respect and clear instructions. Makin' the right decisions regardless of what others are saying.
Kudos to you Sir.
Had to tell ya this before they all start turning on ya month from now. ;)

Shout out to all teachers and school staff across this Province. You kept them safe, educated and sane during crazy times. My boy went in every day with a mask and huge smile on his face. ❤
From my little family to yours

I said it on air and I'll say it here.
If you're overwhelmed and you got no one to talk to send me a message.
I don't know if I can help, but sometimes just having someone to vent to will help.

Two of the neighbour's kids just knocked on my door to sing Happy Birthday to my son.
The world need more young people like that!
Awesome. He's blushing still.

Now, c'mon home out of it.

Say that this little guy is the most important person in my life is a very big understatement. Not only has he made my life better ... he saved it.
Happy Birthday to my best friend & biggest pain in my arse. I would not want it any other way.
Love you buddie.

All this Newfoundland Government hoopla. Am I the only one that doesn't care.
I care about affordable heat bills, drivable roads and a community where my son is safe.

If you can't ... time to find someone who can.

8 years ago today was my first time on radio.
Let's see it I can at least get couple more years out of it.
Thanks for the love and the hate,

The best advice my Mom has ever given me is that getting angry doesn't help anything. You treat people the way you want to be treated.
Little ears and eyes are watching the way your acting. Be the person you want your kid to be.

Hey Hey ...
Everyone needs to stop worrying about everybody else and worry about their own situation. You can't control other people's actions. BUT you can control your own actions and be an example.
Positivity, a level head and common sense.
#WeGotThis
It's a stressful time to be a parent/teacher BUT we are in a great position in Newfoundland & Labrador. How we react today will be remembered for generations.
Be the person you want your kid to grow up to be. Respect and compassion.
We all love our kids.

Before decisions are made about closing every school REMEMBER, not all people are in the same financial situation.
Some people have to choose between keeping their kid home or paying the heat bill and keeping food on the table.
A lot of sadness hovering the Province right now. Been a long few years and holidays are difficult on the best of days.
Buzz your ol' buddie. Check on your neighbour. Donate to the local food bank.
It may be the most important gift you will ever give.
❤
People say radio is dead.
It's days like this when you want a voice in the house, you always turn on local radio.
It's comforting.
It's familiar.
It's fnkin' awesome

If you do ANYTHING today limit your social media intake. I find radio is a good escape ;) Tune in this afternoon. Laugh, cry, scream, have a cup of Tea and listen to music that makes you feel old. :)

My son just asked about his boner. I told him it was his excitement thermometer. I think that's the best way to describe it. And that sometimes it determines the size of your truck.

We will just keep doin' it.
It's what we do ....for generations. Showing the world once again why we have the best people.

We're not a perfect place by any means.
We got our problems just like anybody else.

I was just talking to a guy who wanted to send a song out to his daughter. Just to say how proud he is of her for battling depression.
My friend. You're a good Dad.

I have an idea.
Instead of everyone who's not with somebody hating Valentine's Day, why not make up a bunch of cards like you did when you were in school and drop them off to all your friends and family.
You don't have to be in love to be loved.
Just a thought.
#Valentines
Don't be stressing about back to school.
Don't be arguing about vaccines & masks.
Don't be fighting with people about politics.
Don't be on social media driving yourself crazy
Just enjoy the last long weekend with your family.
Whomever that may be.

Dear people posting negative comments about certain performances on

You missed the WHOLE point.
Remember what Nan said.
If you have nothing nice to say ... move out.
Respect to all performers.
You helped the world be normal for a night.
Seven years ago I was asked to drop into 391 Kenmount Road at 5:00 am to hang out with me buddie Campbell to chat and be just be myself.

I knew Shaq a longgg time.

Big heart. He was one of a kind.

Somebody last night asked me 'Why I do Screech In's? It's silly, makes 'Newfies' look bad. Should be abolished.
I do it because it makes people smile, laugh, live for the moment.
Treat people with kindness, help people out, that a family in any form STILL matters ...
Stayin' up late tonight. Fuck it.
Thanks for all the lovin' messages today.
Made this old Pearl Jam singin' fart feel wanted.
All the love to my family, my lady, my friends and my boy.
Be good.
Be proud
Be kind.
Be yourself is all that you can do.

Be an example your kid.
They see how you're acting.

When you have to work, everyone gone out doing stuff and your kid grab's his backpack and says let's go. He handles things better than most adults. I'm very lucky.

from the LaCour's
I asked my kid what he wanted to do for his birthday. With Covid 19, a nervous Christmas and upcoming cold winter, he said
'I don't mind if there isn't alot of people at my party. I just want to have a laugh.'
He taught Dad a big lesson today.

I have come to this conclusion.
When you need to recharge or a break from life ... go around The Bay for few days.
It will remind you why this Province is Great.
It's NOT the scenery ... it's the people.

I never liked the term 'Single Parent'. Being a parent is not about your relationship with someone else ... it is about your relationship with the Kid. Married, divorced, single ... save that for your online status.
