I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
Some irony that the head of the world’s most successful video company would write a book but there you go. I’ve long been fascinated by how various tech companies (including Netflix) create and develop their corporate cultures and what traditional companies and organizations can learn from them.

Technically I took this photo yesterday but we spent most of the weekend at our seasonal campsite cleaning up after another great year so I’m counting it as my “Saturday Snap” photo this week…

This book was recommended in an article I read early in quarantine as a great way to maintain perspective during the pandemic by learning about someone who basically went […]
Worked the weekend so had today off and decided to take the kids to spend the day in the Qu’Appelle Valley visiting the family cottage, practicing driving at the family farm, stopping for ice cream at Katepwa Beach, checking out main street in Fort Qu’Appelle. “Qu’Appelle” – Buffy Sainte Marie
A friend who used to live on my street (and may have been one of my first “girlfriends”?) posted this to her Facebook page recently. I honestly thought “maybe we dressed like that because…80’s?”. But turns out it’s from her birthday (how old are we in this pic – 7? 8?) and the “unique” fashion […]
