Not a fan of his politics but the man is the best hockey player of all-time and probably the most accomplished athlete out of any major sport ever! Hard to believe he’s 60… We've got 60 facts for Wayne Gretzky's 60th birthday ?? Think you know everything about The Great One? @robpizzo begs to differ […]

Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”
It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts… “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Asessippi Carnage
Four years ago this week, we were on our way to a ski trip in Manitoba. It was hard to know what the next four years would bring but we listened to Trump’s “American Carnage” Inaugural Address on the drive up and that provided a big clue. Such a relief that he’s gone.
And To Think I Knew Him When… ;-) @aarongenest
A former colleague on the Ryan Meili Leadership Campaign v 2.0 (the tall blonde guy in the above picture) recently went viral with a tweet about how he was able to support one of his female employees during Covid. This even included his story getting highlighted on ABC’s “Good Morning America”! I’m not a big […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NHL Heritage Classic (October 2019)
The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)
Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”
Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time. Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)
Music Monday – “Spent last year like you’re under a curse/Better get better cuz it can’t get worse/Unless you’re riding in the back of a hearse”
“Everything’s Gonna Be Better Next Year” – The Rescues
Google’s 2020 Year in Search (And A Couple Other Year-in-Review Compilations Too)
And since it was such a memorable year, I’ll add a couple other “year in review” compilations…
Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman
Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]
