Music Monday – “So let’s open up a bottle of whiskey/And make a toast to better days/Then I’ll crank out a tune and by the light of the moon/I will dance on Stephen Harper’s Grave.

Hard to believe the election was a month ago already. I had this one bookmarked to post on Election Night but got caught up live blogging the election instead. But now’s just as good as then! “Stephen Harper’s Grave” – John Muller

“First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman

Remembrance Day Takes Many Forms

Remembrance Day is when I think of my Grandpa Peet, a WWII veteran more than any day of the year. And he was at the front of my thoughts even more than usual over the last couple days with the news that one of his three remaining siblings, my Great Uncle Bobby, had passed away in […]

+14 on November 8? Wow. #yqr

I can’t find it now but a few years back, I posted a graphic showing the forecast for December 24, 25 & 26 which all showed +4. Today is along the same lines – we’re having double digit plus temperatures well into November and today might be the warmest day yet. A couple friends on […]
