It looks like fun but there were a couple times during the Foam Party at Hyatt Ziva in Cancun when I felt absolute terror – no lie. The foam would get so thick and high near the foam cannon that it would encompass you and you literally couldn’t breathe! Hopefully I do better at the […]

Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!
Thanks for putting up with me for 20+ years!
Music Monday – “I just wanna feel real love/Feel the home that I live in/’Cause I got too much life/Running through my veins/Going to waste”
When Shea and I got married on the beach in Mexico in 2003, this song was in heavy rotation on one of the music channels in our hotel room. (In fact, I briefly thought she might call off the wedding to pursue Robbie Williams. Or if she didn’t, I might as he’s just that damn […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our (Legal) Wedding Twenty Years Ago (February 2003)
A few days ago, I posted how it was our 20th anniversary (at least of our legal wedding, not of the ceremony we had on the beach in Mexico a month later which is the anniversary we “count”.) Here’s a picture from our legal wedding (and coincidentally, my cousin who stood up with me happens […]
Music Monday – “It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever/Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone/Maybe we’ll get forty years together/But one day I’ll be gone/Or one day you’ll be gone”
I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three. Or, flipping that, I have three chances to remember it!) To recap… Our Three Weddings * Feb […]
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 […]
