I always had this sneaking suspicion that my memories of massively high snowbanks as a kid was influenced by the fact that I was, well, a kid, at the time and therefore, a medium-sized snowbank would’ve seemed like a mountain. Although a lot rarer than I remember as a kid, this year’s accumulated snowfall (and […]

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”
There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young
Saturday Snap – Life’s Too Short For Unsalted Butter
In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]

RIP America’s Dad (1956-2022)
RIP Bob Saget.
Saturday Snap – Why Does Our Fence Lean Inward?

I didn’t think anything of it but after a couple winters, I realise it’s probably because *all the snow* from the green space behind our house (note the grass showing in patches further out!) likes to blow […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – MuchMusic in the 1980’s/1990’s
Saw an article that influential music and pop culture Canadian station, MuchMusic (later rebranded as “Much”) is moving on to TikTok and YouTube. I’m not sure young people today can appreciate how influential MuchMusic the station was with its VJ’s, dance parties at schools, Speaker’s Corner, special features (Snow Job!), the compilation albums (especially […]
First Lines From My First Blog Post of Every Month of 2021
January – “I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future.” February – “Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we […]
