Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

Saturday Snap – The Risks of Doing An Election-Themed Display

I mean I’m not personally a fan of the guy but we happened to have Justin Trudeau’s autobiography in our collection so I put it on an election-themed display I did (along with a range of books about various topics and issues that are important to supporters of all parties this election season.

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

12 Most Offensive South Park Episodes

Shea and I went to see “Book of Mormon” today, one of the most successful, long-running Broadway shows of all-time, written and produced by the same guys who made South Park. I’ve been a fan of South Park since someone told me about “Rainbows? I hate rainbows!” but I don’t watch it as religiously (pun […]

Unfortunately, I Know I’d Be Easier To Catch Than The Road Runner!

I make the occasional run out to Indian Head and around the Qu’Appelle Valley and after my parents won a few free oil changes at the local car dealership and offered me one, I had an excuse for another road trip yesterday after I got the kids off to school. The free oil change turned […]
