Christmas cards kinda sorta?

calzephyrI didn't send a Christmas card call this year because I wasn't sure if Canada Post would be striking. If you recall, they were on strike last Christmas and it was a bummer! Chances are good that if you live in Canada, you'll receive your card on time.
If you live elsewhere, you'll probably get a New Year's card.
Admittedly, I am a little late out of the gate sending cards out! My address has not changed, so if you have it, you're good to go :-D

[PODCASTS] Wild Things: Siegfried & Roy
Nov. 23rd, 2025 10:53 pmcalzephyrOver the course of nearly half a century, Siegfried & Roy performed 30,000 shows for 50 million people and generated well over $1 billion in ticket sales. Although the German-born illusionists and pop culture icons were mega-famous, much about their private lives, eccentric public personae, and tragic final show remained shrouded in mystery…until now. Emmy®-winning filmmaker and journalist Steven Leckart, in his very first podcast, takes you behind the velvet curtain to reveal shocking moments, surprising details, and hidden truths about two men who were lionized by millions of fans, lampooned by the media, criticized by animal welfare advocates, and endlessly scrutinized by the public.
This podcast landed shortly after the Tiger King hype died down, but it's still a great listen. As an animal-loving teenager, I totally would have jumped at the chance to see Siegfried & Roy live--and they were still performing in Las Vegas when we went there for the first time in 2007. Probably a good thing--this podcast is a great reminder that many animal acts aren't always in the animals best interests.
