“Heels” Trailer

I find it hilarious that my wife wasn’t going to watch this wrestling-based TV series until Ben Mulroney of all people recommended it on the CTV Morning News! (Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]

Friday Fun Link – The Role of the Crowd in Pro Wrestling

Love the way the crowd is an active participant in these two recent clips from AEW.  Even if you don’t know the wrestlers or the storylines and back story to these clips, you can’t help but feel the energy… CM Punk Debuts After Seven Years Away From Wrestling: Bryan Danielson Challenges Kenny Omega:

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Making a Difference at the Library (May 2021)

“He likes repetition,” she said. “So it’s like ‘yea you were just at the library to visit Jason, and you got to see Cheri, and Shirley gave you the hand stamp. There’s a real connection there that’s vital to him.’” Brandon was a child of the system who was put into foster care at the […]

Secular Sunday – Pastor Who Kept Church Open During Pandemic Dies of Covid

What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?

With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago.  So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)

New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park

Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too.  Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]
