Early in this blog's history, I came up with a little gimmick where I cover a bunch of miscellaneous things I've come across or want to talk about in conjunction with a holiday (search for “randomness” to see previous entries). I don't think I've done a “random” entry like this in awhile but the New […]
I heard this story on the radio driving Shea to work this morning… “Twins born in Massachusetts hold special distinctions – the last baby born in 2006 and the first baby born in 2007. Not a lot of time separated the birth of Jennifer and Scott Hoenig's babies, but two minutes was enough to give […]

This is a bit of an old story by now but Time magazine recently named “You” as their “Person of the Year”. Many people reacted to the decision negatively saying it was a cop-out and the ultimate gimmick to sell magazines from a magazine that arguably hadn't chosen the proper newsmaker of the year since […]
An examination of how Corner Gas impacted the Canadian television industry.
As you can see, Oscar had a pretty exciting New Year's Eve. Grandpa and Grandma Hammond were in town for a wedding so Shea and I went down to the Delta Regina to have a visit with them. They went to the banquet and we stuck around and had supper at the hotel then went […]

The site has members from around the world who encompass all worldviews but tend […]

…sometimes you have absolutely nothing to say. (I've got a fun one lined up for tomorrow though – promise!) For some reason, this emptiness of ideas inspired me to check my stats. As I suspected, my number of “unique visitors” are down by about 2/3 from an all-time high right around that “50 Ways To […]
For the second week in a row, I'm sort of fudging the Friday Fun Link. Last week, I did it by posting one video on LibrarianActivist and a different one on Head Tale. This week, I'm repeating something I already posted here (an entry about year-end lists from a couple weeks ago) over there. So […]
So it's 3:45am on December 28 and I'm back in my own bed after a few days of riding the sleigh around SE Saskatchewan (well, to Shea's parents in Weyburn, my parents in Indian Head then back to Regina today.) Right now, I'm surfing around to catch-up on my regular blogs and here's some of […]
One of Shea's mom's co-workers made us a “Baby Guess Book” which is basically a scrapbook filled with baby-related clip art, poems, and a bunch of spots for family and friends to record their guesses about various aspects of our baby. I thought I'd do a virtual edition and allow anyone reading the opportunity to […]
