Beware of tricks, it’s Blog Post #46. I would not have expected so many readers to fall for my April Fool’s “it’s my last blog ever” comment in Blog Post #45. It was even bold and at the end of the post (where the jokes are), yet it got so many people. It was very pleasing and warmed both my atriums and ventricles. For those that were hoping that it was my last blog post, you can go to health.

My wife and I enjoyed a great Easter weekend (and a bit more) on Vancouver Island catching up with friends and family. I met someone who said, “I heard you write a blog. Is it cool?”

I said, “No. Probably not. However, in a world full of Netflix, YouTube, E-sports, online casinos, playoff pools, Mindcraft, and VR, I invent, I write, I create, I publish, I take action and I do. Now, that’s pretty cool!”

You sound like you could use a book recommendation

Work and travel have really slowed the progress of my book the last month or so. It’s been going about as well as cliff-diving walruses in Russia. I’m eager to get to working on my book again, but first I had to get this blog post out there so people could breathe a sign of read-leaf.

Here’s a photo I took earlier this year of English Bay in Vancouver. I love where I live. You should love where you live too. If you don’t, you should move.

My wife and I have been working on a few travel ideas lately. It’s important not to wait as the future is not guaranteed. My wife and I are hoping to get to Venice before it’s flooded, New Orleans before it sinks, the leaning Tower of Pisa before it falls over, and The Church of Notre Dame before Melisandre, the red priestess of R’hllor, stops by for a visit. Time is ticking.

My workout playlist has been evolving and changing a lot lately. Nothing has really been sticking for very long. This Dermott Kennedy song has had some Power Over Me and has stayed on the list.

Words of Wisdom

1. If you want to be a vegetarian, be a vegetarian. It’s just not for meat. I’ll be a vegetarian when walruses fly.

2. Make sure you have a will. Did you know that over 75% of millennials don’t have a will?

Oh no!

“I bequeath my parents home to my guinea pig, Penny, who stood by me during my difficult three weeks taking Naturopathic Psychology at the Community College. Conditional to home ownership is continuing to let my brother live in the basement. I leave all my cryptocurrency to my emotional support cat, Princess Fur-sala. She helped me get through my part time job at Starbucks. Finally, to my sister I leave my collection of captured Pokemons, my Fortnight account login information, and my student debt. Please share the selfie I likely died from taking.”

It’s now time for the ending joke. I decided to leave this one out of the book. It just didn’t seem to fit. Feel free to let me know what you think. Enjoy.

“Hey, did you get that job you applied for at the funeral home?”

“No”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t have CPR training.” 

“What? Why would you need that?”

“They said, In case a co-worker is choking on fava beans and there’s no chianti to wash it down with.”

Bonus Easter Material: Courage is important in life. Check out this video of a snake getting into a rabbit’s nest. Just as the snake is eating the eggs, the mother rabbit comes out of nowhere and gets revenge. The funny part is that the snake retreats but the mother rabbit continues to go after it going kick-crazy. Poor Snake
