Oh, man, I have to bookmark this for later, or I'm going to lose a whole day of work to this click-temptation insanity! And on a Tuesday, too--the day I traditionally remember that the week has ACTUALLY (actually) started and I should, you know, accomplish *something* before Friday.

Thanks a lot, guys. 😂

Ahhh, thank you for the deep appreciation of the Hinterland's Who's Who spots! Those beauties were ingrained in every Canadian kid's brain (if you were a certain vintage, that is). I had that little tune as my ringtone for a while. Also, thanks for all the rest of the background on how you came up with your trailer vibes.

OMG! This was a joy and a hilarity to read and watch. I particularly appreciate Jon and Mac in the desert, but the entire time watching I was like, where is the dog? But then I catch a glimpse of someone's dog, Henry, and am very grateful a dog was not involved! You smell like a baby! :)

Was not expecting to be carried down a memory portal by Burl Ives (multiple times in one post!), voice of an angel, even better when you’re lying on the blue carpet in the den listening to Little White Duck on vinyl

This was so entertaining, the two of you are able to engage your reader as if they were sitting there with you! Thank you for enlightening me, I had never heard of a "book trailer". I am new to the world of writing and this comes as i just completed my first draft of a children's book. Just love the idea and inside tips on how to walk through this. As always, grateful for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

I did not realize that there are book trailers, but yours are great! I especially like the digging a hole in the desert. I didn’t know about the Hinterland’s Who’s Who spots, but they are the sort of thing I would have loved as a child.

My kids have already asked to be the future versions of Mac and Shawn for Halloween. They're getting their very own future glasses in their easter baskets. Well done, sirs.

I was not expecting this newsletter to become a walk through fond Canadian childhood TV memories! Now do the heritage minutes!

There's a walking bush in that trailer for Where Is the Friend's House. I can't wait to watch the rest of it!
