Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pandemic Anniversary (March 11, 2020)

Hard to believe that March 11 is the one year anniversary of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a worldwide pandemic. I thought it was perfect that it fell on a Throwback Thursday as I was sure I’d likely have a lot of appropriate photos from that momentous day a year ago that I could post. But […]

R.E.M.’s “Out of Time” Turns 30

“Out of Time” is probably one of the most significant albums of my youth which always seemed to be playing in the background of some of the memorable parties and events of my life when I was in Grade 11/12. Hard to believe it’s been out for 30 years which means I’m 47 going on […]

A Year Ago, This Was Our Last Normal Week And Nobody Knew It

I mean, a year ago to the day, I was making jokes about “Corona” virus using Mexican beers as a prop so Covid was definitely on my radar. But no, I did not expect a full shutdown of most parts of society, working from home for months, wearing mask for the bulk of the year, […]

Friday Fun Link – “Unfinished Business”

The floundering Flames shocked the hockey world by firing their coach late Thursday night (after a victory even!) and announcing that former coach, Darryl Sutter, who led them to the game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2004 before coming up short, would be retaking the reins of the team. That run was when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Twitter Account From The First Month of Covid (March 2020)

We’re into the same month as when Covid became real and the world shut-down mid-month so I’ll likely be posting a few different retrospective posts, whether it’s “Throwback Thursday” or not over the next few weeks.

The Beginnings of Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso is an unexpected hit AppleTV+ show which began as a series of promos to promote NBC Sports showing Premier League soccer. Those vignettes led to the character being developed and expanded into a 10-episode series of half-hour comedies which initially seems like a typical “fish out of water” story of an American football […]
