Why Are Things Going Totally Wrong?

             I step down as CEO and things are still the same, problem after problem. Maybe I am the problem as Director of Content, maybe I should just stick to Executive Producer role and not take on certain titles within the company. Anything I do for the company it ends up with negative results and I have been trying to be positive and continue tol get content out but it seems not good enough. 

           I know I have no power over certain things but what I can do is talk to the team and see what I can do what we can do from here on out and I think that is definitely something that we need to do more as a team. As someone with leadership experience, I can teach them and mentor the team and suggest ideas. One thing I can say, we have both of The CBOTW Show feeds to work with so that is most definitely a good thing and I am going to talk to the team if we should syndicate but right now I cannot do that as at the moment I cannot verify the account as my number has been used too many times but we will recover and build this community again and continue to strive and grow as a company and community. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow!

The CBOTW Show Re-branded... Sort of!

            The CBOTW Show has been re-branded... Sort of. Just the image has been updated as seen on the right hand side with all the people involved with that show that project. I absolutely love it and ChatGPT aka AI has done our beloved podcast a lot of justice. Nothing else has change but updating the website as we speak with old logos across the website that has to do with the podcast.  

   The Old logo as much as it got our views where they are today, we were ready for a total rebrand with our logo and they should be reflected across our website and we are in a new era for The CBOTW Show. I will answer any questions on Saturday on our Facebook Page, TikTok Page & Our Instagram Page  Anyways that is the post for today and enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you on Monday.

The CBOTW Show Updates

             The CBOTW Show is coming along nicely. Shows continue to be recorded and ramping up for production soon. There is a bunch of things on our radar as I have said previously, Power Rangers Reboot, Ghostwriter Reunion Interview and some others but I am starting to think when Larry and I return we will or I want to plan to start recording this fall for Ghostwriter Season 2 which gives me plenty of time to work on it and get it finished for the fall between now and September. There is no plans at the moment to record anything minus the recent episode and we have been running into issues with Larry's camera so that is interferring with our return right now. 

              One thing I would like to do before we return to recording once a month is Back To The Future Parts 1, 2 & 3; Space Balls; Ace Ventura; Mean Girls; Mean Girls 2 to name a few and I have to locate the list that we had to see if we can do a couple of those coming up this month perhaps so we can open the Saturday slot soon enough as we have a lot we want to do and get done so we can most definitely knock off 4 - 6 episodes per month but we will see. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 3

          The last two spots are down in the south end of the city. First was the green house and the flowers was absolutely beautiful and I loved walking through there and often do we ever get to walk through and Doors Open is most definitely worth the time. What I loved about the Green House the fact is it is in a "H" shape as their is two parts to it and they connect from in the middle which makes it so easy to see the second part of the Green Houses there.

            The last part before I get into the Guy House and Henry House, we walked down to the ship "Alicia G" which was there at the lake and I believe at this time she has departed our harbor now. Which I just looked and as of me writing this blog and she is still in the harbor at the moment. Also we walked on the pier for the first time in 2026 as they just opened the pier recently. Was windy and the water was a bit choppy as you get further out in the water but nothing that these salties or lake freighters cannot handle. 

           The very last location was right where we were, the Guy House and Henry House. For this event the Robinson house wasn't open unless their doing work in there right now but We got to see the house again and usually it is once a year I go back sometimes 2 years depends on my schedule but still enjoyed every second looking around on things. I was actually recognized as I've been there before not because I had my landyard on which was hidden under my sweater and it can be a tad visable. Anyways we had a good time big thank you to the city of Oshawa for putting on another fantastic Doors Open, big thanks to my dad for driving me around the city and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 2

         This was all done on the same day, Saturday May 2nd, 2026 as this is part 2 of 3 of the event across the city. The next location was close to St. George and close to Canadian Automotive Museum and that is the Band Shell at Memorial Park in Oshawa. I have seen the outside of the bandshell but not inside and basically it is where the local band that plays instruments and was really cool because it had the history behind the bandshell and I didn't realize how much history that goes behind the bandshell. They don't usually have it open to the public but this was definitely a special treat and addition to our day.

           The next location we travelled north Oshawa to our local theater, the Oshawa Little Theater and mind you this was the first time I have been there since volunteering over 10 years ago and they have done a ton of renovations and still has that theater charm still. We got a little tour of the theater, the dressing rooms, hair & Make-up, the shop at the back which I use to help build sets for shows back then, the stage area. We also were in the green room & lounge between the acts and rehearsals are done before they go onto the stage. Finally we got to sit in on the rehearsal for the upcoming production of Newsies. They trumpet and trombone was funny as they were making funny noises as they were doing checks with the bands so that was a giggle. I've sat in on one of these when I Co-op at the theater in 2012 which was really cool. Anyways really enjoyed this section of the venues for the event and as always talk to you tomorrow for part 3 the final two locations we went to.

Doors Open Oshawa 2026-- Part 1

           On the weekend I got to go to 6 - 7 venues for Doors Open Oshawa which yes I know it is a lot but we had fun. The first place was St. George's Anglican Church and I have never been in there before but absolutely beautiful church! I was wowed with the architecture of the church and it has a really nice charm. We learned so much about the history and it is a very old church but still beautful and stunning. One of the staff or volunteers there brought out some items from the archives and so amazing what we saw especilly that quilt or blanket and how thin it was and we are talking 1900's.

     The Next location is the Canadian Automotive Museum on Simcoe Street in Oshawa. I was really shocked how much they have updated and re done things in the museum. Looks so much better and there is a ton of different kinds of cars and the picture on the left is one of my favorites the DeLorean car which they had a similar car in the movie back to the Future. Really enjoyed the walk around and the staff there was very helpful if we had any questions. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow for Part 2 of 3 of Doors Open Oshawa blogs.
