Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Next Trip Is Booked

We’ve had a lot of trips in the interim but we haven’t been to Mexico since 2004.  But we’re about to correct that – we just booked our next winter trip!

Saturday Snap – Terrible Twos Have Definitely Become The Trying Threes

Sasha’s making the most of being three these days.  In the last few weeks, she’s… Poured KD noodles and cheese powder on the floor of her bedroom (I think she also poured some powder in her sock drawer for good measure) Cannot go into the bathroom without playing with everything in her mom’s make-up drawer.  (When […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pumpkin Patch (October 2008)

That moment when you realise that your blog is so old that you posted things in real time nearly a decade ago and now you’re posting them as Throwback Thursday posts!  

Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”

Here’s one of the songs I taped at the Fred Eaglesmith show on Saturday night (which just happens to be one of my favourite Fred Eaglesmith songs of all-time.) “White Rose” – Fred Eaglesmith Actually, speaking of my favourite Fred songs, why not turn this post into a list? Jason’s Top 10 Fred Eaglesmith Songs 1. […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Random Thoughts on the New #riders #MosaicStadium #yqr

(My “Saturday Snap” name has never seemed more appropriate as I post some thoughts and photos of our visit to the new Mosaic Stadium.  I meant to have these up Saturday night but supper with friends after the game then an awesome Fred Eaglesmith concert meant I didn’t finish this post until Sunday.) — Shea […]

Music Monday – “Polly wants a cracker/I think I should get off her first/I think she wants some water/To put out the blow torch”

Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, released on September 24, 1991, is 25 years old.  (I feel old.) “Polly” (isolated vocals) – Kurt Cobain

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland (August 2006)

Since I’ve got a bit of a rock & roll theme going this week with the various posts about RPL’s 50th “Retro” Anniversary Party featuring Rory Allen this Saturday from 1-4pm, I thought I’d post a picture of me outside the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland…

Saturday Snap – Me on CBC

Got fairly short notice (just over an hour) invitation from RPL’s Marketing Unit who needed someone to go on CBC Radio’s “Blue Sky” noon hour program to talk about books we’re recommending these days and other topics yesterday. Since I’m a good guy, always eager to help a colleague who’s in a bind plus not uncomfortable […]
