Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night

My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]

Saturday Snap – 90% of the Reason We Moved?

Okay, maybe not 90% of the reason but having a two car attached garage is pretty nice after fifteen years of parking on the street, scraping windows all winter and not one but two cars totalled while parked on the street (one kid who hit my car fessed up, one was a hit & run […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blog Analytics for 2019

As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]

You Know You’re A Nerd When…

…one of the best things you get as a “Christmas gift” is a literature organizer you pick up off Kijiji from an accounting office on your way home from work Christmas Eve at a fraction of what a new one would’ve cost! Plus you get to be *really* excited about organizing all your various papers […]

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]
