Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Star Wars Christmas (sometime in the early 1980’s) & Friday Fun Link – “The Force Awakens” Random Thoughts

Not often I get to combine my Throwback Thursday and Friday Fun Link but after making a fairly spontaneous decision to go to a midnight showing of the new Star Wars movie last night, I thought posting this picture was a bit of both categories. I’ll try to keep it spoiler-free as I give a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Moving A House Off The Farm Into Weyburn (Fall 2005)

It was about ten years ago that Shea’s parents picked their house up off the farm in Creelman, SK and moved it in to a lot in Weyburn. Pretty amazing thing to have witnessed…

Bryan Trottier: A Letter To My Younger Self

This is a great article by one of my favourite NHL players of all-time on one of my two favourite teams – from the anecdotes about not just playing pond hockey in rural Saskatchewan but his dad clearing a beaver dam to make it happen to the leadership lessons of “Badger” Bob Johnson with his relentless […]

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

Posting this video is an annual tradition. And I could get used to posting it a few days past the middle of November although the trade-off is that the “snow” today was slushie rain this morning that basically turned the whole city into curling rink ice while I had a lunch meeting I walked to […]

Bankrupt Rdio Is Being Bought Out and Discontinued. (Fuck)

After a few days of focus on Paris and the serious issues of the world, time to get back to my First World Problems (which are defined by Google as: “a relatively trivial or minor problem or frustration, implying a contrast with serious problems such as those that may be experienced in the developing world.”) That’s true […]

Random Thoughts on the Paris Terrorist Attack

There was a major terrorist attack in Paris on Friday.  I have some thoughts… Part of the reason attacks like this have such an impact is that our education system has failed to overcome our innate human nature.  I saw this summarized in a great graphic that points out how there are over 6 million Muslims […]
