Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Covid Birthday Preparations (April 2020)

I Did Not Wake Up Expecting To Do A Covid Test Today…

…but my RN wife brought home a box of rapid tests as some healthcare staff are being encouraged to test themselves regularly to help catch Covid before it can spread in the hospital. Since they were also allowed to test family members, I got to be the guinea pig for her first “at home” test […]

Covid-19: A Year in Review

But remembering the past is also a way of believing that this moment will someday be the past. Which is to say, nostalgia for the past is also a way of believing in the future. Daydreaming about the After Times — the Before Times’s mythic counterpart — is in part an exercise in imagining what it will […]

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Happy Birthday Shea!

I’m a bit behind on my daily blog posts so catching up on the ones I missed since Wednesday starting with a very important one. (Apparently new boots are the secret to life, the universe and everything!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)
