Throwback Thursday – Go Riders Go! (November 2013)

The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉

Music Monday – “Sing us a song/A song to keep us warm/There’s such a chill/Such a chill.”

Oasis is having a massively successful reunion tour and from the complete opposite end of the Britpop spectrum, Radiohead has also just begun their own reunion tour with a very different vibe – performing in the round, changing setlists every night – compared to Oasis.

Saturday Snap – Happy 54th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

The surprise birthday cake was a hit! (I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “thoughtfulness” and how that interacts with kindness and empathy. Might be a topic for a future Wisdom Wednesday post…)
