Friday Fun Link – A Message From Michael

Of all the “inspirational” celebrity messages, sing-a-longs, and tips, I do believe this is my favourite… (And bonus, possibly the first time I’ve clearly heard the lyrics to this song in ~30 years I’ve been listening to it!) 🙂

Saturday Snap – ElevateBoarding

At a time when people should be minimizing any activities that may result in a preventable trip to the hospital, Shea and I have mixed feelings about seeing Pace get his skateboard out now that spring seems to be here. Honestly, he’s pretty skilled and safe (notwithstanding how it looks due to the timely snap […]

Saturday Snap – Going (Mini) Viral Online in the Age of Pandemic

From working on the Ryan Meili leadership campaigns, mostly in the area of social media plus my own personal interest in the topic, I know some of the “rules” about what makes tweets/Facebook posts successful. But ultimately, human nature is a funny thing and no one can truly predict what will make a tweet go […]

Friday Fun Link – Before & After At the #YQR Corner Convenience Store

Thursday March 12, 2020… Wednesday March 18, 2020… (Apparently we can now wipe with Alphabits!?!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Practicing Protective Measures In The Good Old Days(May 2019)

Pace was into personal protective gear long before the current COVID-19 outbreak. (Of course, this was how he suited up to load dirty dishes into the dishwasher at our old house so a lot lower health risk I would hope!)

Music Monday – “That’s great it starts with an outbreak/From birds and bats to airplanes/Donald Trump is not afraid”

Great rewrite! “It’s The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) – COVID-19 Remix” – R.E.M.  

Friday Fun Link – Pandemic Grocery List

I’ve heard stories about the chaos but I freaked myself out a bit when I hit a grocery store on the way home as it truly looked like the zombie apocalypse had already begun… The obligatory shot of the depleted toilet paper aisle… Luckily, I’d forgotten that my neighbourhood store had been planning a renovation […]

Not Sure I’m Doing International Women’s Day Right…

…but I did let Sasha do my make-up today, I have a bit more understanding of how much work it is to be a woman (plus now I look amazing!) 😉

Saturday Snap – My Own Corona Virus

This was my view one week ago today. I admit that I was a bit nervous heading to the airport the next day as the Coronavirus seemed to blow up big (in news coverage if not actual cases) during out week in Mexico but our flight went ahead so, (un)fortunately, we weren’t stranded in Cancun! […]

Friday Fun Link – British vs. Canadian English

I still tell the story of the woman I traveled to England with for a University exchange in 1995 meeting a group of people in a pub and saying she hadn’t changed her pants in days. Turns out trousers are pants in England and pants are underwear! 🙂
