Saturday Snap – Supper With Friends (and Some Thoughts on the World We’re Living In)
Shea and I went for supper with some friends on Friday night and it was good to catch up, compare notes, and have a few laughs after not having done a restaurant meal with people who we’d normally go out with a few times per year before Covid. (We have done virtual happy hours/outside visits/potlucks […]
Friday Fun Link – 1953 Pro Wrestling Match
Fascinating to see how pro wrestling used to be presented… It’s not really fair as a comparison since it’s a compilation of his “greatest hits” rather than a single match. But here’s a clip of some highlights from one of the most dynamic, innovative wrestlers competing today…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile! (May 2014)
I love watching my kids grow but I miss when they were small too…mostly because you could dress them in ways that were as entertaining to you as a parent as anything!

I think I first heard this done by the Pogues but this song has been around since WWI, popular with both soldiers and children! Uhm, Happy Easter? “The Hearse Song” – Rusty Cage
Friday Sad Link – RIP Mike Bossy (1957-2022)
Sad to hear that my absolute favourite NHL player of all-time, Mike Bossy, passed away today after a lengthy battle with lung cancer (almost unbelievably, one of the greatest goal scorers of all-time was also a heavy smoker, especially early in his career.) How much did I admire Bossy? To this day, I used “22” […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – random thoughts for a random age (2002 or 2003?)
When I worked for the Writers Guild of Alberta, I decided to be brave and do a poetry reading as part of the Calgary Stroll of Poets. Here’s one of my poems… headtale · Random Thoughts For A Random Age
