Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On National Caesar Day, Is This The Best Wedding Ever? (Summer 2017, Somewhere in Ontario)

Like most good Canadians, I enjoy a good caesar. And since it’s National Caesar Day, I’m going to break from Throwback Thursday tradition and instead of posting one of my own pictures of me drinking a caesar or making a caesar or looking lovingly at a caesar on a restaurant table, I wanted to post an awesome […]

Yanny vs. Laurel: Meme of the Year?

What do you hear?! Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.com/jvHhCbMc8I — Cloe Feldman (@CloeCouture) May 15, 2018 Is anybody talking about anything else today? First of all, the clip is, according to Sanker “not prototypical” of either laurel or yanny. It’s somewhere in the middle. Sanker said the l/y discrepancy might come from the fact that the sound there isn’t velarized—the speaker’s tongue […]

Fire Bans in Place for Sask Provincial Parks South of Churchill River

We didn’t get a fire ban until the end of summer last year. But it’s been crazy dry the last couple years so here we go right at the start of the camping season (and yes, the regional park we’re booked into won’t escape without a fire ban either until some rain comes.) 🙁 Thank goodness […]

Music Monday – “Well I don’t mind wastin’ my time/On this crazy afternoon/I got sunshine and red wine/A friend of mine takin’ it easy”

For the upcoming summer, we weren’t sure whether we’d end up camping at a provincial park like we did last year or if we’d switch to a regional park. Both have advantages and disadvantages but with Shea’s mom undergoing cancer treatment, it made our decision to go to Nickle Lake Regional Park where her folks have […]

Saturday Snap – Fuck Cancer

Kudos to my mother-in-law who “rang the bell” earlier this week after completing seven weeks of radiation and chemo therapy for cancer. Also have to give special recognition to my wife and my father-in-law who went above and beyond with support through this difficult time – from miles on the road to 6am text messages. […]

Friday Fun Link – @officialRPL Mother’s Day Video

This RPL Mother’s Day video is great! It makes me excited for RPL Father’s Day video next month where various dads who work for the system try not to get emotional while reading passages from “Fight Club” to our children. 😉 Just kidding – this video is great and I know I can’t get […]
