Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Back to School

Here’s a shot of the elementary school I attended growing up. I took this picture when we were back to Indian Head for a visit a few years ago but the look of the building including that 1980’s colour scheme hasn’t changed.  (The playground however has changed quite a bit.) We went past my elementary […]

How Australia and Other Developed Nations Have Put An End To Gun Violence

I wouldn’t say we’ve “put an end to” gun violence in Canada but our numbers (like those in most developed nations) are extremely low compared to the US. There are a whole host of interconnected reasons why this is the case.  But I think one of the largest is the fact that gun ownership is enshrined […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Great Picture of My Mom (Oct 2007)

The photo was taken during a Long Term Service Awards dessert banquet for Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region Employees. Although I wish I could take […]

50 Years of #yqr Copper Kettle Restaurant

Music Monday – Oasis Full Concert

So cool how you can find full concerts on YouTube.  Oasis will always remind me of my semester abroad in 1995 although this one’s actually from 2005…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Paul McCartney Concert in #yqr (Aug 14, 2013)

Two years since the best concert of my life…     And of course, in this day and age, somebody appears to have uploaded the entire concert, from start to finish, to YouTube!  (If I’d know that, I could’ve saved 250 clams on my ticket!) 😉
