RIP Uncle Stan Nagatani (1940-2022) (and a list of strangely positive things to come out of Covid)

Believe it or not, there have been a few good things to come out of Covid. Here’s a few… * greater acceptance of work-from-home in many sectors * I’d say that it’s caused many people to reassess their work-life balance * many people are also saving money by going out less for restaurants, entertainment, shopping.

Saturday Snap – Free Food Family (Thanks @TheCDNBrewhouse)

Got a surprise call at work from Great Canadian Brewhouse East who have a weekly promotion where they deliver pizza to a random nearby business or organization for Free Friday Lunch. Delicious and a great way to end the week! (I wonder how many businesses they deliver to end up even sharing with a couple […]

Secular Sunday – Oh, Come All Ye Faithful?

With Christmas falling on a Sunday, some churches are moving or canceling their services in recognition that a lot of people would prefer to stay home in their PJs opening presents on a Sunday morning instead of going out to church. (via Reddit)

Music Monday – “You’d say I’m putting you on/But it’s no joke/It’s doing me harm/You know I can’t sleep/I can’t stop my brain/You know it’s three weeks/I’m going insane You know I’d give you everything I’ve got for a little peace of mind”

Our family’s theme song this week… “I’m So Tired” – The Beatles

After Two and a Half Years, The Big “C” Got Me! :-(

Shea was deadly ill (said it was sickest she ever felt) a couple weeks ago but never tested positive for Covid. So, when I got sick, I thought I had this… But tested today and it turns out that both Shea and I have this… Fuuuuuuuuuck! Such a weird mix of emotions to finally […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Saturday Snap – Spot The Puppy

Sasha buried me in blankets and toys the other night and I swear there’s a puppy in this photo too though he may be hard to spot…

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am – Charlie wakes us up. Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea. Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]
