And To Think I Knew Him When… ;-) @aarongenest

I’m not a big […]

Elizabeth Was *Not* Ready For The Revolution

I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIdnYxm_WM Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – […]

Saturday Snap – Snow Day? What’s That?

We had a bit of a surprise waiting for us when we opened our front door after the big snow/wind storm earlier this week. In fact, pretty much our whole house was caked in snow like this – pretty cool effect – almost like living in a snow globe!

Friday Fun Link – Ted Cruz For Human President

This is pretty funny (and the designer has pages for other topics that are rich for satire – Rudy Giuliani, Mayor Pete, and Cryptocurrency.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NHL Heritage Classic (October 2019)

The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)

Is Hello Fresh Worth It?

Shea and I recently decided to give Hello Fresh a try. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s one of a few competing companies that have sprung up over the past decade or so that sends pre-packed supplies for making a single meal. Many of my friends swear by meal delivery services, referring to them […]

Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”

Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time.  Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)
