Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Going To Winterpeg (January 2013)
Shea and I are fortunate to have gone on about a dozen hot holidays over the years to Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Hawaii, etc. But we couldn’t always swing it so one winter, we decided to go to…Winnipeg with both sets of parents for a family getaway. The temp in Regina was -42 and the […]
The Sandwich Generation
I talked to a twenty-something young man the other day who had never heard the term “Sandwich Generation”. Basically, the idea is that anyone who has kids (whether they’re young or older but who still need financial support and/or who live at home) and also elderly parents who they are responsible for caring for is […]
Music Monday – “Cause if summer is here/I’m still waiting there/Winter is here/And I’m still waiting there”
I have many fond memories of regularly going to the Ness Creek Music Festival, a hippie festival in Northern Saskatchewan, when I was in my twenties. I can’t remember their name but one moment of perfection was a band I’d never heard of but that ended up being a reggae band who brought a little […]
Secular Sunday – Cardinal Marc Ouelette Resigns Amidst Misconduct Allegations
If you pay attention, you’ll see that though I aim for daily posts on this blog, I often don’t do them until the following day for one reason or another (get busy with the kids or fall asleep early or just forget or whatever.) Two ways to know it’s a backdated post are if the […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuffed in a Locker (April 2016)
Pace did this to himself after parkour, he wasn’t being bullied by a classmate (or a parent) – honest!
Friday Fun Link – How To Take Sports Less Seriously
I’ve always followed sports and played a lot of different ones in my younger days (not so much these days as Shea said she’d divorce me if I started keeping hockey equipment in the house ever again!) but I don’t think I’ve ever been fanatical in following sports to an unhealthy degree. With that said, […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RPL Staff Day 2017
I was going to do a post about the most memorable moments (good and bad!) at the various RPL Staff Development Days/Staff Conferences I’ve attended over the years (including five years on the planning committee and three years as Chair) but I don’t really have the energy for it because as I type this, it’s […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Corona Light? (February 2020)
Our last Mexican vacation was in late Feb/early March of 2020 just as Covid was breaking worldwide. I spent much of our week taking pictures of Corona beer cans thinking I was clever…
