Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Picnic (June 2006)

One great thing about our year in Ontario for library school was we tried to get away as much as we could on weekends and during semester breaks to various destinations in the area. Probably our biggest trip was during a semester break when we took the train to Montreal.  A highlight was throwing together […]

Happy Birthday Shea!

I’m a bit behind on my daily blog posts so catching up on the ones I missed since Wednesday starting with a very important one. (Apparently new boots are the secret to life, the universe and everything!) 😉

Saskatchewan Billionaire Becomes Tech Titan

Wow – never realised that the head of CloudFlare is from Saskatchewan For the record, Zatlyn’s stake in Cloudflare, based on its market capitalization of $28 billion, amounts to over $1 billion. That’s ‘one’ with nine zeros after it. We’re in a binary digital world but that one and all those zeros mean so much […]

Music Monday – “But I don’t need no friends/As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset/I am in paradise”

Watched “Juliet, Naked” this weekend with Shea (who thought the tale of an obnoxiously nitpicky music obsessive hit a bit too close to home for her!) 😉 Anyhow, this song played a pivotal part of the movie… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyh__QQD2js “Waterloo Sunset” – The Kinks

Our Second Trip to Mexico During Covid?

I said yesterday’s visit to Mexico would be our only one but we enjoyed it so much, we decided to go again to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 😉 (We’re not the only ones missing beach vacations apparently but this is pretty extreme!)

Saturday Snap – Our Only Visit To Mexico During Covid…

Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)

In hindsight, letting a 10-year old parkour addict jump off the snow-covered garage  into a big pile of snow was probably not the wisest decision of my parenting career (and isn’t that usually the stuff you do when your parents aren’t watching anyhow?)

Trump Impeachment Opening Video

Donald Trump’s *second* impeachment began yesterday and this was one of the first videos shown summarizing the insurrection of January 6 (very telling it comes with a warning!)…

Who Is The GOAT?

With Tom Brady’s latest Super Bowl win possibly cementing his status as the greatest American football player of all-time, it’s also sparked debates about who is the greatest athlete of all-time? Serious question. If Tom Brady having won more Super Bowls than every franchise in the NFL history isn't the most amazing individual statistic in […]
