Saturday Snap – Hockey’s Back! (And so is beer!)

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

Friday Fun Link – Regina (and area) Fowl/Fall Supper Guide

Are fowl suppers a Saskatchewan tradition or a Prairie tradition or a Canadian tradition? At any rate, my friend Deron, has once again posted his annual Fowl/Fall Super Guide. I’m hungry already!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No More House (July 2018)

We only went once before, for my birthday last year, but were sad to show up at a local restaurant called the Neighbourhood Pour House yesterday to find the doors locked. Shea did some digging when we got home and found an announcement that they’d closed their doors very recently but their flagship restaurant, Jack […]

Music Monday – “All the flowers that you planted mama/In the back yard/All died when you went away”

This song has always been incredibly powerful from when it became a worldwide smash in 1990 but it might even be more powerful to hear it now, nearly thirty years later, after Sinead O’Connor has led a life full of controversy and pain. “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Sinead O’Connor

12 Most Offensive South Park Episodes

Shea and I went to see “Book of Mormon” today, one of the most successful, long-running Broadway shows of all-time, written and produced by the same guys who made South Park. I’ve been a fan of South Park since someone told me about “Rainbows? I hate rainbows!” but I don’t watch it as religiously (pun […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – His Love of Parkour Started Early! (March 2012)

(This is also the cleanest his room has been in seven years as well since we’d cleared it out while preparing to paint it.)

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Trailer

Shea and I are binging “Handmaid’s Tale” right now and both loving it (while also regularly cringing!) but if pressed, I’d still say “Breaking Bad” is my favourite TV show of all-time. (It’s up there for Shea too but I think she picks “The Wire” as her all-time favourite.) Anyhow, can’t wait for this…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ten Kids in a Tub

One of my favourite pictures at our family cottage is this Anne Geddes picture. My dad has nine siblings and since this photo showed ten babies, all ten of the kids in his family were able to sign their name, in birth order, from left to right. I’ve said it before but it always amazes […]

Unfortunately, I Know I’d Be Easier To Catch Than The Road Runner!

I make the occasional run out to Indian Head and around the Qu’Appelle Valley and after my parents won a few free oil changes at the local car dealership and offered me one, I had an excuse for another road trip yesterday after I got the kids off to school. The free oil change turned […]
