Thanks for the props, Canadian Dad Influencers!

Imagine my surprise when I was notified that Pop Culture and me were named as top Canadian Dad Influencers by Casey Palmer in his recent post. Aw, go on!

I won't look too closely into how influential I really am - I can barely get my kids to pick their laundry up off the bedroom floor but it's always nice to be noticed. Flattery is very misunderstood.

So, thanks for that, Casey. Gave me a lift to see that this morning. Glad to know someone is reading the blog and enjoying it.

Here's hoping that Netflix calls

Like every other screenwriter or other creative in Canada, I've pitched something to Netflix for their open call: a half hour comedy, Unqualified Success, about a barista appointed to becoming a Justice of the Peace (inspired by my time working in the Provincial Court system) and this one, Split Second, an animated comedy about a 'bad' kid who while undergoing a scientific procedure to remove all his 'badness' ends up getting an evil double instead. Odds of a call are approximately 2/1,000,000 but a guy can dream.

Check out my true crime episode "Go Forth and Murder", part of the Investigation Discovery series "If I Should Die"

This true crime series is all about crimes being solved using the victim's own words from "beyond the grave" i.e. diaries, blogs and letters.

Here's the trailer.

The show is now available on iTunes as well.
