Saturday Snap – “Do you need a campaign volunteer who has helped candidates win at least 10% of the campaigns he’s worked on?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation is one of, if not the most, high profile Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan for his work in business, child welfare and much more.  (Unfortunately, part of his high profile,including an interview for CBS’s “60 Minutes” show, is for very tragic reasons.) Above is a pic of myself and […]

Friday Fun Link – Archive of All Wordle Answers

I haven’t been doing the Wordle regularly like I used to but still occasionally do it. And it recently occurred to me that if you have a regular “starting word” and you looked at an archive of all previous Wordle solutions, that would let you know if there was still a chance you might hit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – CUPE Convention (March 2015)

I’ve spent a few days at the CUPE Sask convention this week and I honestly thought it was my first time attending but turns out my Covid brain fog is real because I found a pic I took when I was there in 2015. It’s of Sask Party Minister, Don Morgan, trying to be relatable […]

Happy International Women’s Day!

I need to get a more recent photo of the four most important women in my life! Words can’t capture how much all four of them do in so many ways (yes even Sasha!) to make all of our lives better.

This Is Just To Say I have drank the diet ginger ale that was in the SV icebox And which might have belonged to you Forgive me if it was yours I could not remember If it was mine (There are also a couple Coke Zeros in there that might be mine too – let […]

Music Monday – Rush E

My daughter told me about this song which is apparently the hardest piano song in the world and impossible for a human to play (although the one video below claims to do it).  

Secular Sunday – “That’s God Blowing Your Love Around The World”

Sunday March 5 is our 20th wedding anniversary and there’s a fitting story from our Mexican Beach Wedding for Secular Sunday. We used a wedding coordinator in Mexico to make arrangements including specifically requesting a non-religious officiant. The guy showed up the day of our ceremony and it was clear that he actually was *quite* […]

Saturday Snap – Varadero Sunset

Yes, we were in the Mayan Riviera, not Varadero. Yes, I technically quit drinking booze at the end of last August (but with the caveat that I *mostly* quit which allows me to still imbibe occasionally – or more than occasionally if I’m at an all-inclusive resort!) But yes, this drink we invented a few […]

Friday Fun Link – The Only Good Thing To Come Out of NHL Trade Day For The Calgary Flames

The Flames have *sucked* this year – terrible goaltending, terrible coaching decisions, players not performing up and down the lineup, boring hockey, losing a league-leading number of one-goal games, only team in entire NHL to not have a comeback victory when trailing going into the third, and also sucking in 3-3 overtime (if they’d won […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Snow Seats (January 2011)

A lot of snow in our old house’s front yard back then…
