Saturday Snap – Is This How One Creates An Activist?
Like pretty much everyone these days, Shea and I are noticing that everything seems more expensive – gas, groceries, dining out, etc. etc. etc. If we’re feeling this way while being in a fairly good financial position with good professional jobs, good incomes and a lot of financial luck over the years in various ways […]
Friday Fun Link – Biggest Global Industries By Revenue (2025)
Yes, I was inspired to look up the world’s biggest global industries after seeing a reference to the global reach of the oil & gas sector which isn’t the biggest but has the biggest impact on every other sector in the TV show, “The Landman”. Although its set in Texas and obviously a lot more […]
Throwback Thursday – Go Riders Go! (November 2013)
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! 😉
Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

Saturday Snap – Halloween Zombies? Or ???
My son and his girlfriend dressed up as zombies to hand out candy. But the funniest was one kid goes “Are you dressed up as Vomit People?”
Throwback Thursday – Halloween Surprise (Oct 2012)
Still one of my best “Creating Memories” dad moments. When he was little, Pace was massively into Batman. So I went out to Spirit of Halloween the night before Halloween and bought a Robin costume which I wore to work then messaged Shea to send Pace out to the street in costume when I got […]
Tips For Interacting With People With Dementia
Here are tips about people with dementia that I just discovered…some of them I knew but some are new to me and will help me with my mom and maybe help some of you too. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? […]
Saturday Snap – Happy 54th Anniversary Mom and Dad!
The surprise birthday cake was a hit! (I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “thoughtfulness” and how that interacts with kindness and empathy. Might be a topic for a future Wisdom Wednesday post…)
Friday Fun Link – Babies Being Babies (The Purest Form of Joy)
The purest form of joy: babies being babies ~ A Thread ? 1. When you realize that even your legs are under your own control? pic.twitter.com/KnmZeBOYji — Crazy Vibes (@CrazyVibes_1) August 23, 2025
