Saturday Snap – Bring On Camping!

Looking forward to camping this summer as much as I probably ever have!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Earth Friendly (July 2008)

Saturday Snap – “Sasha’s, Not Yours”

As she gains more independence, we’ve occasionally been letting Sasha walk to the nearby convenience store to use her allowance money to buy a treat. Apparently that independence also extends to letting everyone in the family know exactly who bought the unique Warheads-flavoured soda!

Lilly drug slows Alzheimer’s progression by 35 per cent in trial

As with cancer drugs and other research breakthroughs that sound promising, there are lots of times that exciting results come to nothing.

Pace in early October… (Shockingly?) Shea and I didn’t test positive until December…though having a teen who pretty much self-isolates 99% of the time anyhow did help keep the rest of us safe when Pace was the first positive in the family.) And even though she ended up getting the PCR test twice in the […]

My Childhood Best Friend Wins $55 Million! (Well, A Guy I Kinda Sorta Remember Anyhow)

Okay, maybe he wasn’t my childhood best friend but he was somebody from my hometown whose family and mine did do stuff together occasionally before they moved to BC. But I should back-up… I still distinctly remember a conversation when I worked for the Sask Publishers Group around 20 years ago when we were chatting […]
