Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? #2 – My Friends

In last week’s post, I said your parents are your first formative influence who give you so many of your basic life lessons and core moral code. If that’s the case, I feel like your friends are the ones who exist to test, question and expand that moral code as you grow.  Your friends are […]

Happy Anniversary, Shea!

I look forward to raising a toast with you in Mexico in a couple weeks (preferably champagne, not tequila!)

Is Ringo Starr The Best Drummer of All-Time?

Really enjoyed the Hawksley Workman drum workshop last night where, after a concert on Sunday that I didn’t make it to, he did a Monday night workshop where he showed a bit of his process in using the drums, was interviewed by a local drummer, and took audience questions. (Hard to believe I’ve been a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Walk Through of Our Room at Moon Palace, Cancun (February 2018)

So in exactly one month, we’ll be on our way to Cancun…but who’s counting? (Well, I guess I’m counting, especially since the weather’s been -40 recently!) Anyhow, I finally got around to uploading another room walk-through video from our resort last year. I always have intention to do something a bit more professional/polished on our […]

Calgary Flame’s Unexpected Run To The Top in 2019

Back in October as the NHL season began, I did a post about many of the reasons I was excited for the Flames 2018/2019 season. Coming off a couple very disappointing years (and really, about 15 underwhelming years with only a couple exceptions – unexpected 2003/2004 Cup run, making the second round of playoffs in […]

Saturday Snap – A Nice Note From #yqr @sarcanrecycling

Had a fun moment at Sarcan today. Earlier this week, we finally got around to trying their “Drop & Go” option where you can just leave your cans and bottles with some kiosk-generated tags then, a few days later, you later get a call that a cheque is ready. This is way easier than waiting in […]

Beer Me – Advent Beer Calendar Edition

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 […]

Five Topics of The Holidays

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, […]
