R.E.M.’s “Out of Time” Turns 30

“Out of Time” is probably one of the most significant albums of my youth which always seemed to be playing in the background of some of the memorable parties and events of my life when I was in Grade 11/12. Hard to believe it’s been out for 30 years which means I’m 47 going on […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Twitter Account From The First Month of Covid (March 2020)

We’re into the same month as when Covid became real and the world shut-down mid-month so I’ll likely be posting a few different retrospective posts, whether it’s “Throwback Thursday” or not over the next few weeks. For example, here’s all my tweets from March 2020. I loved this tweet (but not that I managed a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Picnic (June 2006)

One great thing about our year in Ontario for library school was we tried to get away as much as we could on weekends and during semester breaks to various destinations in the area. Probably our biggest trip was during a semester break when we took the train to Montreal.  A highlight was throwing together […]

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!) 😉

Our Second Trip to Mexico During Covid?

I said yesterday’s visit to Mexico would be our only one but we enjoyed it so much, we decided to go again to celebrate Valentine’s Day! 😉 (We’re not the only ones missing beach vacations apparently but this is pretty extreme!)  

Saturday Snap – Our Only Visit To Mexico During Covid…

Buy a six pack of Sol at the liquor store, some limes at the grocery store, and put beach videos on the TV. 🙁 (But hey, at least we’re being safer than overly entitled snowbirds!)

I’m at an age where…

…I find myself downloading apps to test my hearing at midnight, suddenly worried that a lifetime of listening to loud music and going to concerts that left my ears ringing is catching up to me. (Luckily, at least according to a free iPhone app, I have nothing to worry about…yet.)  

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Boxing Day Classic (Multiple Years)

When I was in high school and later, in university, the neighbours across the street hosted a Boxing Day road hockey tournament every year. This was followed by an airing of the latest Don Cherry “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em” VHS tape that one of their two boys got from Christmas, finger foods, basement beers and […]

Saturday Snap – Sticky Situation

How does this happen? Well, one bottle is our home bottle, one was brought back from the lake at the end of summer and is still not used up and one was accidentally opened by a kid who doesn’t look very hard to see if there are any other open bottles anywhere!
