Secular Sunday – What Does Your Faith Exempt You From?

There are a few (very few!) medical exemptions I can understand for not getting the vaccine – if you are allergic to something in the vaccine, if you had a serious reaction/event after your first shot and, uhm, not much else? But I’ve never understood being exempted on religious grounds. Even if you believe in […]

Saturday Snap – “The Years Have Flown By” 50th Anniversary Charter Plane Flight

I was going to post a bunch of pics from our charter flight yesterday but to get my money’s worth, I feel like I should parcel them out one or two per day for awhile! 😉 Ready for takeoff…

Friday Fun Link – “The Years Have Flown By” 50th Anniversary Charter Plane Ride

I alluded to this in Thursday’s post when I wrote “the years have flown by” about my mom and dad’s 50th Anniversary.  But I didn’t want to give away the big surprise I had planned for their anniversary gift knowing they read my blog. Honestly, it was a bit tough trying to come up with […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Wedding Dance (June 2003)

This is a picture of my parents at my cousin’s wedding dance in Calgary in 2003.  (His marriage lasted about three years while mom and dad will be celebrating 50 years of marriage later this month!  But to be fair, my cousin had better luck the second time around – and has been married to […]

One of Saskatchewan’s Highest Profile Anti-Vaxxers & Former PPC Candidate Rumoured To Be In Saskatoon Covid Ward

But I don’t think he qualifies for the Herman Cain Award…yet. I want ZERO Saskatchewan residents to die from covid. Pro-vax, anti-vax, young or old. Perfect health or numerous comorbidities, it's a gruesome way to suffer and die. My condolences to @MarkFriesen08 as I've verified someone with his name is at RUH. — Kyle Anderson […]

A Few Random Thoughts From 2021 @Sask_NDP Virtual Convention

Shea and I signed up to attend the virtual Sask NDP convention this weekend. We’ve been to a handful of conventions over the years since our first in 2009 – mostly in years when there was a leadership vote but also as delegates from our constituency on occasion.  (With that said, we’re not actively involved […]

Saturday Snap – Spud Drug Deal?

My coworker hooked me up with a guy selling discounted 50lb bags of oversized and misshapen potatoes (who, of course, turns out to be a regular at my library.) At any rate, pulling up at his house, I felt like I was getting in the middle of a shady drug deal – cars lining up, […]
