Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party

Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital. And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It […]

Friday Fun Link – Biggest Global Industries By Revenue (2025)

The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉

As if saying it, somehow makes it true. I’m not sure if it comes out of the mental health/self-help movement. It might […]
