Saturday Snap – Small Town Funeral

I wish there was a better way to get the best tasting egg salad sandwiches on the planet.

Friday Fun Link – Boomerang Retro C-64 Video Game

A guy I went to school with got a game published in Compute! magazine in the late 90’s (and got a $500 payday or something wild). These were the days were the code was printed in the magazine and you had to manually enter it to play the game.  (I still remember my Grade Six […]

Saturday Snap – Boundaries? What Boundaries?

In my Wisdom Wednesday series, I’ll eventually do a post about the difference I see between what I call “black & white” thinkers and “grey area” thinkers.  (Myers-Briggs has 16 classifications.  True Colors has 4.  Hamology basically only has 2!) One big aspect of this difference is that are those who think there are hard […]

Saturday Snap – Date Night

Our first time to Blanco on Albert St. in Regina after its conversion from a tapas bar.  Excellent!

Exercised My #skpoli #ParentalRights Today…

…to encourage my daughter to become a kind, empathetic, supportive human being. (Too bad the parents of many of the current Sask Party MLAs didn’t share similar lessons with their kids before they became regressive, reactive bullies.)  

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mom’s Lifetime SUN Membership Acceptance Speech (sometime in 2013)

I was so proud of my mom getting her lifetime membership in the Sask Union of Nurses ten years ago.  Great speech and you can see where I got a lot of my personal values about supporting workers and treating others with empathy and respect.

Saturday Snap – National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Words vs. Actions)

This may be the most egregious example I’ve ever seen: On the national day for truth and reconciliation we wanted to remember the last day camp buffalo bones stood. The mayor wanted to commemorate NDTR on Wednesday- this audio is from that […]

Secular Sunday – Regina Pastor Charged With Possession of Child Pornography

I wonder if anybody’s keeping track of how many people who are directly connected to or strongly affiliated with religion are being arrested for child porn/sexual abuse-type crimes versus how many people from the LGBTQ+ community are? CW: ?? child exploitation A Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor in #yqr charged with child p*rn. Let’s remember […]

“Killers of the Flower Moon” (Trailer)

Heard about this book after seeing a mention on a FB music group that Jason Isbell had a part in an upcoming Scorsese/DeNiro/DeCaprio film which was going to be based on the book. Picked it up and it was a pretty good read, not least because it’s set in Oklahoma but talks about a lot […]

Sunset (or Sunrise?)

My last post was August 21 when I said I was going to try to get back to (roughly) daily blog posts after a summer of holidays and other distractions. Then I promptly didn’t post again for nearly two more weeks until today. Lots I could write, lots of navel-gazing about why I (still) have […]
