Pace was doing video calls long before it was cool – in this case, we needed a video call to show off his first stitches to Grandma and Grandpa.
I took Pace to a wrestling show last weekend but it wasn’t his first – we’d gone to one or two over the years and though he never became as obsessed as I was at his age, he did obviously watch wrestling on TV with me occasionally given what he told his kindergarten teacher he […]
Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]
Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]
With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago. So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)

I don’t think Pace has a theme song for his grade eight grad today. In my hometown, I went to elementary school until grade six then to high school in grade seven and I didn’t have a grade six grad theme song either (that I remember.). But it’s got me thinking back to my own […]
I was going through some old papers in a box under the stairs recently and came across a folder of articles I’d clipped and saved, long before most articles from popular magazines were available online from databases or from the magazine’s own web site like they are today. Had to chuckle for a couple reasons: […]
Maybe because, like “Nanette” by Hannah Gadsby, it totally deconstructs what a “comedy” special is?

Or maybe because I’m pretty sure he does this by not mentioning Covid once […]
My in-laws having some fun at our campsite…
