Saturday Snap – That Sad Moment When You Check Your Weather App For Info About #skstorm…

…and realise it’s still set to the location where you just returned from a tropical holiday! 🙁

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Extra Spam = $2.25 (January 2012)

A restaurant menu board from our Hawaii trip in 2012…

Off To Mexico! #ThePalaceLife

“Make It Ryan!” @ryanmeili

Ryan’s the master of puns but “Make it Ryan” instead of “Make it Rain” works pretty well too, especially after you manage to win a couple hundred bucks in the 50/50 draw at a Steak Night fundraiser! Now I can make another donation to Ryan’s campaign *and* pay for all my drinks at the all-inclusive […]

Friday Fun Link – This Is My Favourite Photo of Mark Messier

After years without quite making it to the ultimate victory, in 1984, only one year after Wayne Gretzky was made his Captain, Mark Messier was drinking from the Stanley Cup. Some other fun facts about Gretzky, Messier and their intertwined  destinies: * Messier had 37 points in his first season in the NHL and Gretzky had […]

Unbroken: The Snowboard Life of Mark McMorris

As the big air competition begins in the Olympics tonight, this is a pretty amazing documentary.

[Edit: Dammit!  Literally two minutes after I hit “Post”, the Knights scored two goals ten seconds apart and my ha-ha funny joke about them being so good they even tie games they’re actually losing due to an ESPN typo is meaningless.  And now, as I’m typing they’ve now scored an empty netter – 4-2 Knights […]

Saturday Snap – “What do you mean, I have to be 13 to have a SaskNDP membership?” #skndpldr #skpoli @ryameili

I hope the angle of the button makes it clear that Sasha put this button on herself, not that her parents forced her to do it! (In fact, the sidelong glance is her eyeing up another one we had lying on our kitchen counter!) 🙂

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go! (February 2008)

The Flames won their fifth game in a row tonight to get back into a playoff position (technically, that happened last game which they also won.) Anyhow, I came across this old picture of Pace climbing on his grandparents’ air hockey table and thought that was sorta related to tonight’s good news…
