Saturday Snap – Supper With Friends (and Some Thoughts on the World We’re Living In)

Shea and I went for supper with some friends on Friday night and it was good to catch up, compare notes, and have a few laughs after not having done a restaurant meal with people who we’d normally go out with a few times per year before Covid. (We have done virtual happy hours/outside visits/potlucks […]

Friday Fun Link – 1953 Pro Wrestling Match

Fascinating to see how pro wrestling used to be presented… It’s not really fair as a comparison since it’s a compilation of his “greatest hits” rather than a single match. But here’s a clip of some highlights from one of the most dynamic, innovative wrestlers competing today…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile! (May 2014)

I love watching my kids grow but I miss when they were small too…mostly because you could dress them in ways that were as entertaining to you as a parent as anything!

I’ve Officially Become #OldPeopleFacebook

Got home and Shea said “Why did you post the word ‘Mark’ on your Facebook today?” Huh? So I look: My boss’s name is Mark but I don’t even have him on Facebook. I have another work colleague I interact with fairly regularly named Mark but same thing – not on my Facebook. I […]

“Always Have One More Person Than You Think You Need and 98% of Your Staffing Issues Vanish”

As Elon Musk (tries to) buy Twitter for <checks notes> $44 billion dollars and Jeff Bezos shoots cock-shaped rockets into space, it’s important to remember that there are normal people running businesses and organizations who are doing very basic, humane things to treat their employees well, respect their humanity, and ensure that they are focused […]

Secular Sunday – The Only Demon Summoned Was A Scary Dad!

Sasha had her ninth birthday today and though we had a pretty mellow art/painting/Bob Ross theme for our budding artist, as most pre-teens have for years, someone ended up suggesting they do “Bloody Mary” in our bathroom. Six girls crowded in the dark bathroom with the door closed and once I realised what was happening, […]

Saturday Snap – My Good Deed For The Week?

Last week, a buddy who lives nearby asked if I’d help him move a fridge. Since I was picking up a free growler of beer he’d offered, I felt like I had to say “yes” (just kidding – I would’ve said “yes” even without the beer bribe!) But I misunderstood what he was asking. I […]

Friday Fun Link – 2022 Sask Book Awards Shortlist Announcement

I wasn’t able to pop over for the live announcement like I usually do (and with current Covid stats in Sakatchewan, maybe that’s okay too?) But nice to have an archived livestream of this year’s SBA shortlist announcement… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilAhyjfkLao
