Having been sick for the last couple days, I missed a pretty significant milestone that I meant to blog about. Just over a year ago, I took the leap and moved from the blog I’d been using for four years to a new platform, a new host and a new domain. On pretty much every […]
I occasionally do Sappy Sunday posts so perhaps I need to do a recurring humour-themed post to balance things out? Too Funny Tuesdays? Tickle Tuesdays? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KNpn-XGM04
I’m a huge Hawksley Workman fan but ended up not going to see him close out the Regina Folk Fest last night. Instead, we accepted an invite to go out to Indian Head for supper and a visit with my folks. Then, coming back in later in the evening, right around the time Hawksley was […]
In 2002, Shea and I joined my parents for two weeks in Kailua, Oahu. We’ve just confirmed that we’ll be going again in January 2012 which will be the tenth anniversary of our first trip! This time, Shea and I decided we’d like to see something different so we’re going to spend one week in […]

I especially like how it builds the case of how our strongest connections grew from family relationships to tribes to religion-as-extended-family to nation-states-as-extended-family to the natural next step to a worldwide unity of purpose, […]
In my excitement to post a 1980’s country song that captures my post-long weekend camping bliss yesterday, I neglected what would have been a perfectly timed Music Monday post. So instead, you get an extremely rare “Tunes Tuesday” post to share the good news that Saskatoon band, The Sheepdogs, won a contest to become the […]
I had such an amazing time camping this long weekend at Nickle Lake with Shea’s folks at their seasonal site, I thought I’d do a bulleted list of some of the highlights. (To set the scene, Shea’s parents have possibly the the nicest site in the entire campground. They’ve had it for nearly a decade […]
