It’s Science!

Pace and Sasha are both done school as of today and in reviewing their report cards, I was particularly impressed with Pace’s mark in his Science Final… Come to think of it, this feels like the mirror image of when I wrote a math test in Grade 7, was absolutely sure I got everything right […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)

As the Stanley Cup Finals are coming to an end (Go Avs!), it makes me think how I have very tangential connections to a handful of NHLers. Though he was a couple years older than me, my main “connection” was growing up on the same street as Dave Karpa (who regularly used my testicles for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Undergrad Announcement (May 1996)

With Pace getting his learner’s this week, I’ve got a bit of a “milestone” theme going. So here’s the newspaper announcement (remember those?) from when I graduated with my BA…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandparents at My Parents Wedding (October 1971)

Last week, I mentioned an aunt had given me a variety of old photos she’d scanned. Here’s a great one from my parents’ wedding featuring all four of my grandparents. So many thoughts and memories looking at this photo – the things my grandparents saw ranging from World Wars to Great Depressions; memories of various […]

Saturday Snap – Uno

Had a pretty wet weekend at the campsite (including a bunch of folding chairs and other stuff getting drenched when a storm blew up unexpectly when we ran to town Saturday afternoon for groceries) But the rain also held off at different points allowing us to have a couple nice fires and even some fireside […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandpa Peet in Uniform (circa 1945?)

After missing the last couple years for obvious reasons, an aunt who visits us from Kelowna for a few weeks every spring is here now. One of her hobbies is genealogy and related, she likes to scan and catalogue old photos. She brought a thumb drive with hundreds of old family photos which means I’ll […]

Saturday Snap – Catching Up With An Old Friend

A lifelong buddy who now lives in Arizona and who we haven’t seen in years sent me a text that he was back in town for the weekend and wanted to meet for a pint. I was so excited I booked a time with him, completely forgetting that we’d also planned a family supper for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 15th Birthday Pace!

Hard to believe this video montage I made of pics from when Pace was born is from fifteen years ago! (Also hard to believe it’s my most viewed video of all-time with nearly 50,000 views but I attribute that more to using a Loretta Lynn song than people being interested in pics of Baby Pace!) […]
