Music Monday – “When I’m drunk/I dance like me dad/Started to dress a bit like him/Early morning when I wake up/I look like KISS but without the make-up”

Love the lyrics in this song (which are especially fun around Father’s Day!) For those who don’t know, Robbie Williams started in a boy band in the UK in the 1990’s, went solo and became even bigger pretty much everywhere on earth except North America. I also didn’t realise until I read the Wikipedia entry […]

Friday Fun Link – 19 Pictures That Hilariously Prove Potato Chips Are No Joke In Canada

One highlight of working at a gas station as a teenager was getting to see all the different kinds of chips that rotated in and out – Hostess especially came out with some pretty strange (at the time) flavours including Hamburger, French Fries, Roast Chicken and Pizza.

One Legged Former Wrestler, Zach Gowen, Kicks Ass on American Ninja Warrior

I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!

Music Monday – “Just wait ’til I finish this glass/Then sweet little lady/I’ll head back to the bar/And you can kiss my ass!”

He’s got a lot of hits and he played many of them this past weekend in Saskatoon. But what other song could I post today than the Garth Brooks song that made me a huge fan for life? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGk7DFYx9AI “Friends in Low Places” – Garth Brooks

~ Swirl ~ (A Poem About How The Orlando Shootings Gave Double Meanings To Everything This Weekend)

(I started writing this Sunday night but didn’t finish until Monday. I’m backdating it to be a Sunday post though as that seems most appropriate given Sunday’s incredibly tragic events.) ~ Swirl ~ Thursday My library staff do a tour of the local Muslim school. We observe prayers. We learn to say “library” in Arabic. […]
