Music Monday – “I’ve been drinkin’ to remember and drinkin’ to forget/I got “I love you” on my mind, I got Jim Beam on my breath”

I posted a Cody Jinks song before I went on holidays so why not post another Jinks’ song since it was in the top three of my most listened to songs over the past couple weeks (with the other two – “Cumberland Gap” by Jason Isbell and “Tear Stained Eye” by Son Volt both […]

Camping Wrap-Up

It’s weird how time can sometimes seem so slow (when you’re lazing through most days with some tunes, a good book and tasty beers) and at the same time, so fast (when you have a two week holiday that feels like it only lasted two days.) We had a great two weeks camping with lots […]

RIP Barb Janicek (1975-2019)

One of the bad things about having a recurring “Friday Fun Link” theme post is that things often happen at the end of the week that leave me feeling in a less than fun mood. The Humboldt Broncos bus crash happened on a Friday, the Colten Boushie verdict came in on a Friday, more mass […]

Flooded Campsite

When we got to Nickle Lake Regional Park last Friday, we could see that there’d been a big downpour and there was a lot of standing water in some of the lower lying areas of the campground. When we got to our site, there was a bit of water in our site but nothing major […]

“Everybody’s talking about bagism”

Shea and I went to “Yesterday” as my annual birthday movie tonight and it got me thinking about how long I’ve been a Beatles fan (hint: since I was a kid but it blossomed in university) and how long I’ve been using computers (hint: since I was a kid but it blossomed when I […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Disappointed I Didn’t Win The Canada Day Contest This Year

I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]

I’ve probably only seen about half of the movies on this list but still think this is film at its best.

An Early Contender For My Favourite Book of the Year? @thejagmeetsingh #canpoli #cndpoli

I read Jagmeet Singh’s autobiography in pretty much a single sitting at our campsite this weekend and really enjoyed it. Obviously I’m a fan of Singh but I think this book would be one that anyone who enjoys memoirs would enjoy and learn from, whether they liked the NDP or not. * before it was […]
