Saturday Snap – Seven Year Ditch?

We bought our house in fall 2019 so have lived here for nearly seven years. When we moved, we got a dumpster and got rid of a lot of excess crap that was old/broken/worn or that we didn’t want to move for one reason or another (as much as I wanted to keep that 1989 […]

Friday Fun Link – Hogan vs. Flair

In terms of the biggest “what ifs” in wrestling is what a match between the two biggest stars of the 80s & 90s, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair would have been like with proper build-up before being a main event at wrestling’s biggest event, Wrestlemania. It was possible for Wrestlemania VIII but never happened with […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Partridge Family (Jan 2022)

Nice when the snow is high enough to go over the top of our backyard fence and we get some visitors!

Saturday Snap – Meeting of the Minds?

Had a really nice visit with my mom before Shea and I leave for Mexico (twice in one winter?!?  What???) tomorrow.  Off to Puerto Vallarta for a week and it’s a long story but we got a good deal and have been thinking a lot about how all four of our parents quit traveling earlier […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Cuba Cuties (March 2011, Jan 2016)

So fortunate to have had multiple trips with both sets of grandparents – our wedding in Mexico and Dominican Republic with all four of them, Cuba separately with each of them different years and various other locations as well – Mexico, Hawaii, etc. Hard to believe this was 10 years ago… And this was 15 […]

Friday Fun Link – A $2.5 Billion Robot, Designed To Function on Mars For Two Years, Is Still Working 13 Years Later!

A $2.5 billion robot has been alone on another planet for 13 years and is still doing science. The scale of that sentence gets worse the longer you think about it. Curiosity landed in August 2012. Obama was president. Instagram had 80 million users. The iPhone 5 hadn’t shipped… https://t.co/AzXQenKDnH — Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) March […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – What Was Luther College Like In The 90s

The college dorms I lived in for my first two years of undergrad jumped on the current “Dad/mom, what were you like in the 90s trend” and I make a brief cameo (you might recognize me by the mullet!) 😉  

Dog Attacks Deer In Middle of Street in Banff

This is a very Canadian story… Things got crazy in Banff when this dog attacked a deer in the middle of a street ? byu/ABNow_ inAlbertaNow  

Secular Sunday – Are You In The Game or Playing The Game?

Easily one of my favourite posters on TikTok.  This theory has a bit of the Red Pill/Blue Pill stuff that’s from the Matrix but in a less incel/nihlistic way of looking at things – more like “You know this is all not real.  It has no meaning.  So just enjoying playing the game.” @nononsensespirituality #nononsensespirituality […]

Friday Fun Link – “Oh Poop!” A Modern Illustrated Fairy Tale

With some help from ChatGPT, I/we wrote the following fairy tale… (Any resemblence to people, places or things living or on life support, is purely coincidental.) Oh Poop!: A Modern Illustrated Fairy Tale In a broad kingdom, flat as a table and swept by endless winds, there stood an aging castle at the heart of […]
