Ranking The Top 10 Milestones of a Person’s Life

In exactly one week, Pace starts kindergarten. It’s a cliche but it truly is hard to believe how fast the time has flown. I thought it might be fun to try to rank the major milestones of a person’s life. Other than being born and dying, I know not everyone will hit these milestones but […]

Friday Fun Link – What Are Some of the Most Impressive Things Ever Built of Lego?

Pace has become an absolute Lego fiend in the past year or so.  He’ll spend hours building increasingly complex vehicles and scenes – many of which blow me away with how creative they are. He’s not at this level yet but he’s getting there… An Array of Minifigs, Good vs. Bad We Can’t Go Camping […]

Saturday Snap – Warning Signs (Or Just A Cool Wife?)

Shea had this grocery list left on the counter in advance of a BBQ we were having last night.  The best explanation for the repeated item came from a co-worker who said said she was probably reminding herself to buy red AND white wine!

Saturday Snap – Hawaiian-Style Shrimp Poke

Shea and I attempt to re-create one of our (okay, my!) favourite snacks from our Hawaii trip.  Pretty close though I think the version we ate had fresh kim-chi in it as well.

Saturday Snap – Pace’s First Rider Game (and An Attempt At Some Balanced Thoughts on the New Stadium)

As required by Saskatchewan law, I’m a lifelong fan of the Roughriders. But I’m not a diehard ultra-fan. I get to a game every once in awhile (less since we had Pace) but don’t own season tickets.  I have a t-shirt and ball cap with the Rider logo (and now a jersey) but don’t get kitted […]

An Open Letter to Premier Brad Wall: On Film, Family & The Real Meaning of Rock & Roll

Hello Mr. Wall, We didn’t get formally introduced but we met briefly this past weekend at Cypress Hills Provincial Park. It was my son who was on the otherwise empty outdoor ampitheatre stage, singing and dancing, when you walked by. As you passed, you joked about enjoying the free show then carried on your walk […]

Saturday Snap – The Best Thing About Comic Cons…
