Movember: Getting Men To Grow Porn ‘Staches Like It’s The 1970’s All Over Again!

Three years ago, my dad underwent treatment for prostate cancer.  I also have an uncle (my dad’s brother), one of my dad’s best friends and a few others who I know who’ve underwent treatment for this disease. So this year, I’ve decided to join the Movember cause to raise funds to help find a cure […]

Saturday Snap – Bubble Bath Face

He does it all the time but it’s still always a bit of a shock to walk into the bathroom to see Pace doing this…

The End of the Canadian Wheat Board…maybe?

Probably one of the best (and worst) things my dad ever did for me was when he didn’t push me to follow in his footsteps by becoming a farmer. My great-great-grandfather homesteaded in 1883, taking advantage of the famous Dominion Lands Act that offered 160 acres for $10 which drew so many settlers to the […]

Saturday Snap – Halloween Comes Early?

I’m dressed as “guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing!” 😉 (I was also going to make a joke about my coveralls being the most orange I saw in Weyburn this weekend but that’s a bit off-side.  I’m sure the NDP have a candidate down here…somewhere!)

Thanksgiving Genealogy

My mom’s taking a genealogy class so we spent quite a bit of time this weekend looking through her class notes, different web sites and reviewing the information she’d already gathered about her family. I’d taken a genealogy class in library school and had done quite a bit of research as well but mostly on […]

Music Monday – “Come on hold my hand/I want to contact the living/Not sure I understand/This role I’ve been given”

Shea almost canceled our wedding when this song was playing non-stop on Mexican MTV in the lead-up to our big day. I’m not sure who was able to finally convince her that Robbie Williams might just be unobtainable and she’d have to settle for me but I’m glad they did! 😉 (Oh, who am I […]

Some Recent Pace Cuteness

Pace on growing up:  “First, you’re a baby then you’re a kid then you’re a human then you find a wife.” Pace impresses with his vocabulary (but not his abilities as a human dictionary): “Ferocious means nice.” Jason: “No, it means dangerous…like a ferocious tiger.” Pace: “Oh, like this?” <jumps on my head> When Shea […]

Odd/Quirky Ways To Be The Best Dad Possible?

Reddit weighs in on this question.  Personally, I really like that “Enact a 6pm is dancing time – every night!” idea (though it’d likely have to be a different time since we’re watching the news at that time.)   I don’t know if this is odd/quirky but a lot of times, I just like to […]
