Music Monday – “And now, maybe now I should change/Because I’m starting to lose all my faith/While those around are beaten down each day”

One of the coolest things about being in England during the height of the mid-90s Britpop era was being exposed to so much great music. Obviously Oasis was one of the biggest bands of that era and paid homage to the Beatles in various ways – mostly looks, lyrics and musical references. “Lazarus” – Boo […]

Saturday Snap – Is This How One Creates An Activist?

Like pretty much everyone these days, Shea and I are noticing that everything seems more expensive – gas, groceries, dining out, etc. etc. etc. If we’re feeling this way while being in a fairly good financial position with good professional jobs, good incomes and a lot of financial luck over the years in various ways […]

Friday Fun Link – Biggest Global Industries By Revenue (2025)

Yes, I was inspired to look up the world’s biggest global industries after seeing a reference to the global reach of the oil & gas sector which isn’t the biggest but has the biggest impact on every other sector in the TV show, “The Landman”. Although its set in Texas and obviously a lot more […]

Throwback Thursday – Go Riders Go! (November 2013)

The last time the Riders were in the Grey Cup in 2013, I’m pretty sure that us dressing like this helped them win so we may have to do it again this weekend! 😉

Music Monday – “Sing us a song/A song to keep us warm/There’s such a chill/Such a chill.”

Oasis is having a massively successful reunion tour and from the complete opposite end of the Britpop spectrum, Radiohead has also just begun their own reunion tour with a very different vibe – performing in the round, changing setlists every night – compared to Oasis. Radiohead Concert – (Madrid Night Two)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.) We stayed at a Riu during […]

Throwback Thursday – Halloween Surprise (Oct 2012)

Still one of my best “Creating Memories” dad moments. When he was little, Pace was massively into Batman. So I went out to Spirit of Halloween the night before Halloween and bought a Robin costume which I wore to work then messaged Shea to send Pace out to the street in costume when I got […]
