Lyric Check Needed – Stat!

Pace has become quite the little music fan recently, often breaking into “songs” of his own creation or snippets of songs he’s heard on the radio or at daycare or wherever. Still, Shea and I had our jaws drop when he recently started singing “If you can’t make her say oooh-oooh-oooh, make her say ahh-ahh-ahh!” […]

Saturday Snap – “Come listen to a story/’Bout a man named Jed”

I’ve written before about my conflicted feelings towards the oil industry. In essence, it boils down to knowing how much of Saskatchewan’s current prosperity is directly linked to “black gold” versus also knowing the environmental, human, social and other impacts the oil industry has on society. Those feelings could get a lot more conflicted soon. […]

“Snakes on a Pace”

Took today off to go to the Queen City Ex with Shea and Pace. We just got home after nearly 10 hours (!) at the fair. Pace managed to stay awake in the car home but fell asleep one nanosecond after we put him in bed. His mom and dad won’t be far behind him. […]

Music Monday – “Spring is almost over/And the summer’s come/The day’s are getting long”

I had such an amazing time camping this long weekend at Nickle Lake with Shea’s folks at their seasonal site, I thought I’d do a bulleted list of some of the highlights. (To set the scene, Shea’s parents have possibly the the nicest site in the entire campground. They’ve had it for nearly a decade […]

Sappy Sunday – The Last Post

A 41-year old blogger in British Columbia dies of complications from stage four colorectal cancer. Knowing that he’s dying of cancer gives him the wonderful opportunity to compose one last blog entry to be posted after his death where he can write about some of his thoughts on family, life and the beauty of it […]
