    I have been following you on here since moving to Newfoundland with my wife (who is originally a townie) in May 2023. I love your videos and your positive energy (refreshing in this day and age of social media). Keep on being impervious to the haters and bringing your high quality "Rock-centric" content to those of us who have the capacity to appreciate it. You are performing a valuable service in my estimation. Thanks!!

At your age, to have found how to “be happy” by sharing the beauty of Newfoundland and leaving drama aside is what WE are all benefitting from. Thank you !

      I worry about the future like anyone else, but I’m proud of my ability to appreciate the present, at least sometimes. When I’m in the car with mom and dad (or as you’ll see over the next few months, with my wife and kids) exploring Newfoundland, there’s not a thing in the world that makes me feel more at peace. It really is my greatest joy.
      Thanks for watching Judy, and for coming back to share your thoughts from time to time. I always appreciate you.

    Someone actually took the time to "call out" a man wearing a cap indoors and having pierced ears?
    Sounds like he hasn't looked around at people very much. What an odd guy.
    You take your hat off in certain situations, such as entering a church or eating a meal at a restaurant or the singing of a national anthem. But he's gonna be real upset with life if he expects to never see hats worn indoors anywhere.
    As for earrings, I guess he also can't take Michael Jordan, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman and a pile of other pretty damn successful men serious.
    I wouldn't be too concerned about being "taken serious" by that guy.
