As I mentioned in my post about the various Christmas parties we recently attended, now that I’m basically middle-aged (I’m going to live to be 90, right?) ;-), I’m spending more time thinking about the various things in my life that have led me to where I am today – the influence of family and […]

List of Flags By Colour Combination (and the Story of One Man Who’s Edited 1/3 of Wikipedia Articles)
This is a pretty interesting Wikipedia article. Also, the news has picked up on the story of one guy who’s apparently edited 1/3 of Wikipedia’s millions of articles and created 35,000 original articles.
Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?
Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions. (Hard to believe I’ve been a […]
Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”
Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals

Calgary Flame’s Unexpected Run To The Top in 2019
Back in October as the NHL season began, I did a post about many of the reasons I was excited for the Flames 2018/2019 season. Coming off a couple very disappointing years (and really, about 15 underwhelming years with only a couple exceptions – unexpected 2003/2004 Cup run, making the second round of playoffs in […]
Music Monday – “I am flesh and I am bone/Arise, ting ting, like glitter and gold”
Guest post by Shea who introduced me to this song/artist… “Glitter and Gold” – Barns Courtney
