Pace in early October… (Shockingly?) Shea and I didn’t test positive until December…though having a teen who pretty much self-isolates 99% of the time anyhow did help keep the rest of us safe when Pace was the first positive in the family.) And even though she ended up getting the PCR test twice in the […]

My Childhood Best Friend Wins $55 Million! (Well, A Guy I Kinda Sorta Remember Anyhow)
Okay, maybe he wasn’t my childhood best friend but he was somebody from my hometown whose family and mine did do stuff together occasionally before they moved to BC. But I should back-up… I still distinctly remember a conversation when I worked for the Sask Publishers Group around 20 years ago when we were chatting […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Greatest Saskatoon Blade of All-Time (March 2015)
Sasha and I got to meet Wendel Clark at “Hometown Hockey” in Regina back in 2015. (Even had a funny exchange with a hero from my childhood.) Kinda funny that his junior numbers weren’t amazing (he’s no Connor Bedard, that’s for sure!) but I suspect it was actually his PIM which helped him go first […]
Friday Fun Link – All Star Wars Movies Summarized in Five Minutes
How did I miss that Topher Grace made an extended five minute trailer of *all* Star Wars films that’s actually pretty awesome…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Wonder What Their Tourism Slogan Is? (February 2008)
Given our province’s recent track record, “Access One” would probably be good enough and they wouldn’t even need to make a new sign!
Charlie-Related Google Searches
Since we got Charlie, Google has been our constant source of tips, information and reassurances.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Flames and Isles (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1989)
A bit of a different Throwback Thursday post today as it’s not an actual old photo. Instead, it represents some fond memories from a long time ago. I found two pendants on Facebook Marketplace that were part of a larger series for Cup-winning teams. These happen to be two of my favourite teams – the […]
Dildo, Newfoundland’s Slogan Is…
“There’s No Place Like Dildo” Can you imagine? So booorrrring! Did they not realise what a goldmine of a city name they were sitting on compared to most Canadian cities? The right slogan and boom – right to Jimmy Kimmel! (Gotta be honest – when Shea and I were in Newfoundland for a wedding about […]
Secular Sunday – First Ever Oscars Award Show Where No Winner Thanked God?
According to r/atheism (who helpfully post links to videos/transcripts of all speeches as proof), no winners thanked God in their acceptance speeches at the Oscars last Sunday – the first time that’s ever happened!
