I’ve always loved the framing of this picture…
Beer Me! is a YouTube series where a couple hipsters from BC drink half a dozen of a certain kind of beer (they claim in an hour) rating each on things like artwork, taste, reliability, etc. while getting progressively more wasted. (They also occasionally do a bottle of hard stuff.) There have been some funny […]
I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]
We’ve had a few memorable New Year’s Eves over the years including a trip to Moose Jaw’s Temple Gardens Mineral Spa for NYE nearly a decade ago!
I whipped together this montage fairly quickly right before Christmas to show everybody on Christmas Eve. It’s not my best work – my first attempt ended up with the music I picked not working properly.
