Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Regina Housing Prices Over Time

Shea and I are *very* lucky that we decided to keep the house we bought when we moved back to Regina in 2004 rather than sell it and buy something else when I went to library school in 2006 and came back in 2007, just as the Regina real estate market was booming. There have […]

Definition of a Corporate Farm?

  Interesting question on r/saskatchewan today – what’s the difference between a “family farm” and a “corporate farm” with a wide range of opinions being shared. For me, the main indicator of a “family farm” is any farm that has an owner who is a single individual (often including extended family members – a spouse, […]

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 […]
