As with cancer drugs and other research breakthroughs that sound promising, there are lots of times that exciting results come to nothing. But it still boggles my mind at how amazing science is to make those advances in the first place. My grandma was never diagnosed with Alzheimer’s/dementia but had many signs of it near […]
We got the first delivery of a monthly subscription of dog toys & treats called “Woof Pack” today and as I thought about how neither myself (“Beer of the Month“) nor Shea (“Wine of the Month“) or Pace (“Soda Pop of the Month“) or Sasha (“Japanese Snack of the Month“) have ever had a subscription […]
Yesterday I posted about spring seeding and today I’m posting a picture the in-laws sent of our camp site – has it been a long winter or what?
Spring feels like it’s (almost) here. Even though I haven’t been directly involved in farming for years, like many in Saskatchewan, I start thinking about seeding at this time of year. Here’s an interesting video but unfortunately he doesn’t cover survival strategies if your dad makes you shovel out a grain bin on a super […]
Pace in early October… (Shockingly?) Shea and I didn’t test positive until December…though having a teen who pretty much self-isolates 99% of the time anyhow did help keep the rest of us safe when Pace was the first positive in the family.) And even though she ended up getting the PCR test twice in the […]
Okay, maybe he wasn’t my childhood best friend but he was somebody from my hometown whose family and mine did do stuff together occasionally before they moved to BC. But I should back-up… I still distinctly remember a conversation when I worked for the Sask Publishers Group around 20 years ago when we were chatting […]
Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015. (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.) Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first […]
A different form of sun dog in a photo my son sent while walking our dog in the open area behind our house…
Since we got Charlie, Google has been our constant source of tips, information and reassurances. Here’s a sample of some of our Charlie-related searches: “How long do puppies sleep at night?” “Can dogs eat strawberries/celery/tomatoes/raw meat/noodles/potato chips/jalapenos/rice/pancakes/potatoes, etc. etc.” “Why do dogs like to eat Kleenex?” “What is a natural laxative for dogs?” “Do dogs […]
