Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Hope (October 2021)

Just over a year ago in mid-October, I saw a friend post on social media that a tent city was being set up in Pepsi Park in Regina and looking for donations. We had an extra tent so I took it down and briefly spoke to some of the organizers (including my friend by phone […]

Carey Price and the Price of Not Knowing

On Dec 4, just before the December 6 anniversary of the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre, longtime Montreal Canadiens goalie, Carey Price, waded into the gun control debate with a poorly timed tweet defending his rights as a hunter and attacking the most recent changes to gun control legislation by the Justin Trudeau government.

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]
