#Fredericton’s Thursday night market is one of my favourite places to go in the city. It’s the largest night market east of BC, too. Whoever thought of it is a genius.

We also have a pretty famous (and amazing) Sat AM farmers market.

This city knows how to do markets.

Home is one place. Work is another. But it’s the third places that keep us human.
Still searching for mine. #thirdplacesmatter #thirdplaces #mindfulness

Spent the day at the library today, working on my new book!

I also returned Cabaret (the movie version with Liza Minnelli) and picked up The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard. Has anyone here read it? I'm really looking forward to it!

Stop living your life through a windshield and a greasy paper bag. Real life happens in the record crates and on the park benches, not behind a backlit screen.

The convenience of the screen is a lonely substitute for the energy of a crowded room. We are trading the predictable glow of the scroll for the spontaneous, necessary chaos of our own neighborhoods.

#Coworking = #Innovation!
Why? Because coworking spaces are hubs for idea exchange and creative evaluation.

Merge the concept of “#ThirdPlaces” with #Schumpeter’s #innovationtheory.

Tonight’s conversation at Lowe’s was religion, ACA, and was it appropriate for the store to remove Sycamore Brewing from the shelves in light of recent news. You can still have discussions without in getting in yelling matches. #thirdplaces

What is your Third Place?

What if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?
