Hard to believe that this weekend will be the seventh RPL Christmas Party I’ve attended. Here’s some pics from one of the first ones I attended back in 2009… Pace and his daddy in one of my favourite ever pictures of the two of us…   The assembled kids and parents watching a magician perform […]

Music Monday – “I’m grateful for what you did for me/I can see things now I never would have seen”

Having a real Spirit of the West run of posts lately.  Here’s another one – the first video they ever shot from their official YouTube channel… “Political” – Spirit of the West

Friday Fun Link – Spirit of the West’s John Mann Dancing

I recently wrote about the sad news that Spirit of the West lead singer, John Mann, has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Without being too hyperbolic, I have to say there aren’t many bands that have played as big of a role in my life as Spirit of the West – everything from the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ever Wanna Live in a Castle?

Shea and I kinda did when you look at the design of the Valhalla View condos we bought a unit in while we lived in Calgary in the early 2000’s. It was a pretty cool, executive-style condo in an awesome location close to “The Red Mile“. Ours was a unit on the left side of […]

Music Monday – “Now when she’s talking to you/Make sure you listen close/Cause she’s gonna teach everything you’ll ever need to know Like how to mind your manners to love and laugh and dream/And she’ll put you on the path/That’ll bring you back to me”

Shea’s lifelong friend, maid of honour, and guardian to Pace and Sasha, had her third baby last night. After having two boys, we were happy to hear that a baby girl, Abby, had joined their family – not least because we can pass along a bunch of clothes and other Sasha goodies to them!  😉 […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]

Saturday Snap – Santa Tractor

Pace’s first “big” word was “tractor” and we were so impressed, we bought a Christmas yard decoration that year to commemorate the milestone he’d reached earlier that year. Now I’ve set it up for Sasha and guess which word she repeated back to us today? Yep…
