Social Travel

I was going to do a “one month since the provincial election” post but couldn’t find a giant “What The Fuck Was That?” graphic (which is pretty much all I could think to say about that beatdown, even a month later anyhow!) So instead, here’s a recent post from TechCrunch about the growing importance of […]

Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu/To be honest”

I’m planning to post a month of Music Monday Xmas tunes, starting with this great atheist-themed Christmas song originally posted by my friend Cenobyte last year on Facebook or her blog (I don’t think I ended up posting it last year but if I did, it’s worth listening to again!)

Sunday Snap – Can You Spot The Difference? (Xmas Edition)

Pace had two Christmas parties today – one at his karate club from 1-3pm and one at the library from 2-4pm. Due to good scheduling by all involved, we were able to participate in Santa visits at both locations. Pace has already been apprised of the fact that Santa, although magical and mystical in all […]

Movember Is Over

Movember is over and here’s the first and final shot of my ‘stash.  (I am so happy to have proved my body produces testosterone!) Thanks to all of my family, friends, classmates, work colleagues and others who donated (and you still can!) My modest initial fundraising goal was $100 but after I enter a few […]

Sappy Sunday – It’s Time

A great commercial from Australia provides a touching perspective on an important social issue… (via MetaFilter)

Saturday Snap – Banure!

Agribition is one of the biggest agricultural fairs in the world and therefore, a big part of Saskatchewan life and economy. Pace’s cousin’s uncles and grandpa were showing cattle at the show so Shea took Pace down to take in the sights (and smells!)  Luckily, Pace didn’t scratch his nose and buy a bison like […]

How Did Your Parents Make Christmas More Real For You?

It’s exactly one month until Santa makes his rounds and, inspired by a conversation with a co-worker this week, I posted a question on AskMetafilter that got a lot of great replies as well as a lot of people marking it as a favourite question. (It’s a bit hard to read the post because I […]

This is just like when I proposed to Shea…

…well, except for the long-term planning, the co-conspirators, the perfectly placed video camera and the sneaky surprise at the end of it all!

Music Monday – “Jane says/Have you seen my wig around/I feel naked without it”

I had this song cranked on the way home from Weyburn yesterday when I suddenly heard a voice from the back seat singing along…”Jaaaa-soooon!  Jaaaa-sooonn!” Pace apparently things that Perry Farrell and I are really close friends and he even wrote one of his best known songs about me! 😉
