Happy (extra special) Pi Day (3/14)! It probably shouldn’t surprise me how many nerdy “Pi” songs there are on YouTube. Here’s one of the most clever I found…
Pretty self-explanatory… “Feel The Bern” – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
I’ve had this blog since 2006 but perhaps surprisingly, I’ve never really acknowledged Leap Years even though I’ve been blogging for two of them in 2008 and 2012. So let’s continue that trend by ignoring February 29, 2016 completely in favour of a song inspired by tomorrow’s Super Tuesday vote in the United States… “Vote” […]
Take your pick. Here’s #1 on the list which was pretty controversial (by design) at the time back in 1989 but seems relatively tame now…
Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]
It’s weird the things you remember from your childhood. I’ve already written about a grade two teacher I had who was the nicest teacher I ever had (which makes it even more surprising and sad that she committed suicide later in life after she’d retired.)

But since these two yahoos are from the US, they’re technically not my opponents and I’m free to highlight their stupidity freely. 😉 In all seriousness, Sarah Palin’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump was mystifying. But is there method to her madness? Is […]
Today is “Blue Monday”, allegedly the saddest day of the year due to a mix of distance from Christmas, weather and credit cards coming due (although it’s actually just a random day picked to help sell winter vacations.) I thought about posting “Blue Monday” by New Order but that song actually makes me quite happy. So this is […]
“Lazarus” – David Bowie David Bowie, one of the most influential, durable and creative musicians of the past half century, died today. He released his final album only a couple days ago on his 69th birthday then passed away after living with cancer for 18 months. One of the songs on his new album, “Lazarus” […]
Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s. But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]
