A Few Highlights/Lowlights as the 2019 Camping Season Begins
We spent the weekend in Weyburn getting our seasonal site ready which is why I didn’t post for the past few days. Here’s a few memorable moments from the weekend… Highlight: Sasha blurts out “This is the best day of my life!” as I push her on the swings. Then, the next day, she says […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Honu in Kauai (January 2012)
We were invited to a 50th Anniversary of my Hawaiian aunt and uncle (I know, right?) but unfortunately, Hawaiians don’t think of things like “winter” so they scheduled the anniversary for June 2019 instead of January 2019.

Most couples meet through friends or dating sites or at church or the bar. The story of how Shea and I met is a bit more random. Her parents were at a funeral and happened to be talking to someone from my hometown. They mentioned their daughter was starting university in the fall and needed […]
Flames Flame Out: 10 Thoughts on An Early Exit
After their best season in a generation and winning the Western Conference, I was super-stoked for a long playoff run by my Calgary Flames. Unfortunately, they flamed out in the first round losing to the 8th seed Colorado Avalanche in five games, shutting out the Avalanche in the first game but then losing four in […]
Saturday Snap – Rain Beatles Tribute in #yqr #raintribute
As a huge Beatles fan, I really enjoyed the “Rain: A Tribute To The Beatles” show earlier this week, especially since they played much of the Abbey Road album (which is my favourite Beatles album) in this version of their ongoing touring show.
