One Final @RoryAllenMusic Video From The RP Anniversary Gig (And A Few Thoughts on “The King”)

I have lots of Elvis memories from growing up. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to my parent’s record collection. My dad was a big Elvis fan and passed that love of “The King” on to me via the various Elvis records he owned. I used to argue with one of […]

We were out yesterday to bring in the piers, boat track and sea doo stand, clear out the water lines, cut the grass, load the boat, etc. etc. It was great to have one of my funniest, favouritist cousins […]

A McReview of the New McDonalds “Create Your Taste” Burger Option #yqr

So, to celebrate the first day of school, we decided to take Pace to McDonalds for supper. I’d forgotten that Regina’s Rochdale McDonalds location (and perhaps others in the city?) have installed the new “Build Your Taste” machines which are like giant iPad-like, self-serve touchscreen machines. I’m sure we could’ve figured it out but a […]
