Secular Sunday – 10 Facts About Atheists

I resemble some of these remarks… Where do atheists find meaning in life? Like a majority of Americans, most atheists mentioned “family” as a source of meaning when Pew Research Center asked an open-ended question about this in a 2017 survey. But atheists were far more likely than Christians to describe hobbies as meaningful or satisfying (26% vs. […]

Saturday Snap – #WhyIMissedTheProtestForFreedom #FluTrucksKlan

First, my wife and I took our daughter to her art class where she created and learned with about ten other kids… Before her class started, we went into the centre’s art gallery to check out the latest installation.  We enjoyed this show with a handful of other people who were in the gallery including […]

A Few Random Covid Thoughts

A coworker observed that an occupational hazard of working in a place where we hand out rapid tests kits is the risk of people over sharing *why* they want the tests.  This gives you this wild anecdotal taste of how widespread Covid is right now – business owners, parents, students, neighbours on each side of […]

Happy 69th Birthday, Dennis!

Happy birthday to my father-in-law who turns 69 today. Here’s a pic of him and Pace standing in front of a tractor we stumbled upon in an Estevan parking lot that happens to be the exact same model as the first tractor they had on their farm, I think roughly when he was Pace’s age.

Music Monday – “Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Tell him all your secret wishes too/Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Hoping all your wildest dreams come true”

It’s not quite December but we’ve already had our tree up for a couple weeks (which was also the timing last year – anything for some extra joy in Covid times!) and spent Sunday morning wrapping presents so I figured it’s time to start sharing some Christmas music too. Oh, and speaking of wrapping presents, […]

Saturday Snap – I Got Vaccinated (Under 11 Edition)

Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]

First Children’s Vaccination Booked!

Another big milestone in the ongoing battle against Covid – getting our eight year old booked for her first vaccination! (And the email confirmation had the actual address but its definitely the most “Saskatchewan” thing ever to list the location of the vaccination clinic as a business that moved three years ago!)
