I posted this exact song a year ago this week – hard to believe the same sentiment applies a year later and it’s worth a repeat post of the same song. Here’s hoping I’m not starting a new blog tradition and having to post it again at the end of 2022! š “Hell of a […]

Friday Fun Link – Shit Fireplace 2021
In keeping with how shitty this year has been, the Shit Fireplace folks have truly outdone themselves with the latest edition of this important Christmas tradition. So nice to have this streaming on the TV on Christmas Eve bringing joy and warmth to all… š (And bonus, the co-creators of these videos have both worked […]
An Atheist Takes In A “Blue Christmas” Ceremony
It’s been a tough end to the year. There are some fairly major changes happening at work that will affect myself and numerous other supervisors in the new year.Ā One of those supervisors, a friend and mentor, died unexpectedly at the start of December – quite young but also getting very close to retirement, having […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Candy Cane Cast (November 2009)
Sometimes I forget how popular the online photo sharing site, Flickr used to be in the day (it was Instgram before Instagram, kids!) But the other day, someone “Favourited” this pic on the site and getting that notification reminded me how Flickr was my “go to” for looking at/sharing online photos for many years and […]
Friday Fun Link – Kelloggs vs. GenZ

A bunch […]
Music Monday – “They give me all these flowers and these big balloons/But Iām not gonna stay in this little room/I don’t wanna die in this hospital, I don’t wanna die”
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the saying “You know how much money you have; you never know how much time you have.” If it’s not obvious, what it means is that you (roughly) know how much money you have – what your paycheque is every two weeks, what your investments are worth, the […]
Happy 69th Birthday, Dennis!
Happy birthday to my father-in-law who turns 69 today. Here’s a pic of him and Pace standing in front of a tractor we stumbled upon in an Estevan parking lot that happens to be the exact same model as the first tractor they had on their farm, I think roughly when he was Pace’s age.
Secular Sunday – Secular Atheist Train Conductor Wins Wrongful Dismissal Claim After Being Fired For Social Media Post
I’ve been thinking about writing a longer post with some thought about how people’s personal social media (and blog?!?) posts are increasingly having repercussions on their work life. This was especially relevant after the Sask Health Association sent out some fairly chilling messages to staff who were posting thoughts/opinions/information about Covid a few months ago. […]
