..which makes the fact that the NHL’s second-best team, the Calgary Flames, lost in *five* games after a disastrous performance tonight only slightly less painful. I guess I’ll always have the regular season. 🙁

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #9 – Politics
When I was a kid, my single most disliked show on television was “Question Period“. It was on CTV, late on Sunday afternoons, and after a weekend of cartoons, Disney specials, movies, pro wrestling and hockey (er, I probably watched too much TV as a kid!), I hated that weekends in my two-channel universe […]
Crash! My History With Technology’s Inevitable End
Had a scary moment this morning when my laptop wouldn’t charge and even crashed a couple times when I tried to get it working. But luckily it appears that my charging block had simply stopped working and a new one seems to have things running smoothly again (considering I’m still running a 2011-era MacBook Pro […]
Music Monday – “I have lost my way/But I hear tell/About a heaven in Alberta/Where they’ve got all hell for a basement”
These aren’t my photos but I thought this montage of Alberta shots – in all its natural beauty and manmade ugliness – was appropriate with the big election coming up tomorrow. “All Hell For A Basement” – Big Sugar
Friday Fun Link – Exploring Acquisitions with Coteau Books
Pretty proud to be a board member for this organization and if we’re thinking of fun, one of the most enjoyable parts of the job is having the opportunity to have a say in which manuscripts become published books!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #8 – Smalltown Saskatchewan
My standard line about farming is that, for whatever reason, I grew up more passionate about books than barley and more interested in computers than combines. With that said, I feel very fortunate that I grew up in a rural community as part of a farming family. I also managed to luck into getting the […]
Grit & Glory: Celebrating 40 Years of the Edmonton Oilers
I saw this book in my library today and had a good chuckle. I mean, the Oilers sucked for the first couple years of their existence, they sucked for the last decade plus and they have as many sub-.500% seasons as ones where they’ve won more than they’ve lost. So, at best, it’s maybe 20 […]
WWE Makes History At Wrestlemania 35
Tonight’s Wrestlemania 35 was the first to have a main event featuring women wrestlers – Ronda Rousey who was a former star in UFC, Charlotte Flair who is the daughter of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time and an accomplished athlete in her own right, and Becky Lynch who is the ultimate underdog but […]
Saturday Snap – Calling Lakes Road Trip
After running Grandpa and Grandma out to Indian Head after they returned from a month in Australia/New Zealand, Sasha and I decided to have a little adventure of our own by taking the scenic route home. We stopped at the family farm where Sasha got to drive down the lane (watch the road!!!)… …meet a […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #7 – Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector
Like a lot of people who convocate with a Bachelor’s degree, the biggest question is “Now what?” In 1996, I had an expensive English degree, a specialization in creative writing, and not a lot of other options. (The other big question you get asked, especially with an English degree is: “Are you going to be […]
