I know I’ve highlighted the “First We Feast” web show before *including* when they had a different wrestler on.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Possession Day! (November 2019)
Hard to believe it was a year ago on November 22 that we took possession of our new house. It has been an eventful twelve months to say the least and though it was a big, stressful decision at the time, probably one of the best decisions of our lives!
Beyond The Statistics: Prairie Woman Creates Facebook Page to Humanize Covid Stories
The creator of a FB page promoting the honest, non-partisan sharing of Covid experiences was a couple years behind me in school and I know her dad and family as well. It’s tragic that the reason she created this page was because her dad is one of many people in Indian Head affected by Covid […]
Music Monday – Spike Lee’s “Do It Acapella”
Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast. Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s […]

First Snow of the Year (2020 Edition)
And in perfect 2020 fashion, the first “snow that stays” of the year is a massive blizzard (well, its hit Saskatoon more than Regina so far but we’ll see what we wake up to tomorrow!) Anyhow, at least it came relatively late compared to other years.
Saturday Snap – “Day Five of Election Night” Dance Party
It was a bit delayed while the counts come in slowly over the past few days. But Tuesday night’s light show has reappeared in our living room as backdrop for a very enthusiastic dance party now that Joe Biden has been annouced as President-Elect of the United States.
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s
As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]
