Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “When I Was Five, I Walked The Fence While Grandpa Held My Hand” (April 2012)

[At this time of year, I don’t know why I even bother trying to keep up my “a post a day” habit since we’re out at the lake every chance we get and since the Internet is crappy out there, I couldn’t post very easily, even if I wanted to. Then I get back and […]

I’m The King of Twitter! (At Least the Ice Cream Truck Section)

Kinda funny that my most successful tweet of all-time (at least based on Likes) is a throwaway reply to a heart-warming viral thread about ice cream trucks… A couple at the campground where we spend summers have an ice cream cart. He said that it was parents & grandparents, not kids, who came running when […]

It’s Science!

Pace and Sasha are both done school as of today and in reviewing their report cards, I was particularly impressed with Pace’s mark in his Science Final… Come to think of it, this feels like the mirror image of when I wrote a math test in Grade 7, was absolutely sure I got everything right […]

Saturday Snap – Skater Boy

I’ve used this post title before but when your kid loves skateboarding, it’s inevitable you’ll use it again…

Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cup Winning Goals (1933-2019)

This video isn’t as relevant tonight as I’d hoped it would be. But oh well, the Avs will hopefully add their own contribution to this montage on Sunday!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)

As the Stanley Cup Finals are coming to an end (Go Avs!), it makes me think how I have very tangential connections to a handful of NHLers. Though he was a couple years older than me, my main “connection” was growing up on the same street as Dave Karpa (who regularly used my testicles for […]

A Few Recent Covid Threads

Even though “Covid Is Over”™ according to many, it’s not really. Far from it actually… Britain is being swamped by yet another Covid wave — 2% in England are currently infected, 1 in 30 in Scotland: 1.4 million people in the UK, a stark 40% week-on-week rise in prevalence. Hospitalisations highest since April https://t.co/hFiriFHY3r — […]
