Music Monday – “Sing us a song/A song to keep us warm/There’s such a chill/Such a chill.”

Oasis is having a massively successful reunion tour and from the complete opposite end of the Britpop spectrum, Radiohead has also just begun their own reunion tour with a very different vibe – performing in the round, changing setlists every night – compared to Oasis. Radiohead Concert – (Madrid Night Two)

Friday Fun Link – Mick Foley Ranks The Most Painful WWE Weapons

The sport might be predetermined but the pain ain’t fake…  

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.)

Throwback Thursday – Halloween Surprise (Oct 2012)

Music Monday – “You’ve got a diamond/You’ve got nine men/You’ve got a hat and a bat/And that’s not all”

“OK Blue Jays!“

Throwback Thursday – The State of Book Publishing in Alberta

Though this recent clip only popped up on my Facebook feed the other day, it did remind me of my time in Alberta (2001-2004) when I worked with the Writers Guild of Alberta where part of my work included helping jointly plan the annual Alberta Book Awards with the Book Publishers Association of Alberta. Haven’t […]

NHL Is Back!

Can the Oilers threepeat as Stanley Cup Final losers?  God, I hope not.  My heart can’t take it.  Hope they miss the playoffs completely! Someone take the phone away from this rebel right now ?????#TimeToHunt pic.twitter.com/5etr23MlMA — David (@David954FLA) June 20, 2025 AI but still funny…
