It took him fifty years to get there but it was worth it!

Friday Fun Link – Arkanoid, Cosmic Avenger, Wayne Gretzky Hockey II
Pace and I have spent the evening watching YouTube videos of the video games I loved as a kid – here are YouTube videos of three of my all-time favourites:
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 […]
The Genius of John Lennon’s Guitar Playing
Man, I love the Beatles!
Music Monday – “I’m a professional cynic/But my heart’s not in it/I’m paying the price of living life at the limit/Caught in the century’s anxiety”
“Country House” – Blur
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 […]

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 […]
