My Take on the Calgary Flames Season

Sharing my insight about the Flames’ season with the good folks at CalgaryPuck (of note, there are only a handful of sites that both still exist and also pre-date when I began using the “Headtale” alias for every site I joined. CalgaryPuck, which I joined in 2002 soon after we moved to Calgary, is one […]

Saturday Snap – Triple Masking = Max Covid Protection?

I was talking to the kids about possibly double-masking as an added precaution and Sasha decided to take it a step further with three masks (which she didn’t end up wearing, mostly because she ran out of ear to hook the straps on!) And it didn’t last long as we made the decision to pull […]

Covid-19: A Year in Review

But remembering the past is also a way of believing that this moment will someday be the past. Which is to say, nostalgia for the past is also a way of believing in the future. Daydreaming about the After Times — the Before Times’s mythic counterpart — is in part an exercise in imagining what it will […]

The Roud Folk Song Index

Doing some quick research about yesterday’s post led to me to discover the Roud Folk Song Index which I don’t think I’d heard of before but which reminds me once again (as if I need reminding!), why librarians and archivists are so vital to society (and also interesting, witty and funny!): The Roud Folk Song […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pandemic Anniversary (March 11, 2020)

Hard to believe that March 11 is the one year anniversary of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a worldwide pandemic. I thought it was perfect that it fell on a Throwback Thursday as I was sure I’d likely have a lot of appropriate photos from that momentous day a year ago that I could post. But […]

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 […]
