Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)
Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]
[Spoilers] The Entire Emperor Palpatine Story
The entire Star Wars universe can be pretty confusing, especially when there are years if not decades between films. Seeing the arc of a single character through the whole series does a good job of explaining different moments and motivations…
Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”
A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee
Battle of Alberta Highlights
This game was pretty awesome – both the Flames and Oilers entering with similar records and a chance for whoever won to move into first place in the division if the Vegas Golden Knights also lost (which they did.) Battle of Alberta on Hockey Night in Canada with first place on the line – felt […]
Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night

Friday Fun Link – Ric Flair’s Wildest Outbursts
I could watch these all day…greatest promo man in the history of pro wrestling!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ranking the Nine Star Wars Movies (1977 to 2020)
Finally got to see a matinee of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” the other day so have now seen all three trilogies comprising nine total films within the main Star Wars universe. Like many kids of the 1980’s, Star Wars was a pretty major part of my childhood. The first “Star Wars” movie (later […]
Music Monday – “My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas/We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico/Every one of them except for me survived/And I am still alive”
There are very few songs that can make the hair on my arms stand on end. This song, a reworking of an older song I loved growing up. But instead of focusing on men dying doing manly things as in the original, the update is about women dying in service of larger social issues. Incredibly […]
Five Random Thoughts After The First Month In Our New House
It’s crazy how people make probably the single biggest financial decision of their lives based on 2-3 viewings of a property and a house inspection that lasts a few hours. I mean, some people might test drive a car more than that! Hell, some people might look at a laptop or other electronic device they’re […]
