Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Saturday Snap – Perogy Poutine

I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by. After Pace’s swimming lessons today, we decided to check out a new restaurant called Coney Island Cafe which was rumoured to have a few varieties of poutine rather than the traditional fries/gravy/cheese curds version you […]

Music Monday – “9 was minding his business/Talking to 10 about Gordie Howe’s clothes/Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows”

Pace’s grade one class has access to a site called IXL.ca.  This site has a series of modules on various aspects of math that kids can work through to learn concepts including counting, addition, shapes and so on. There are dozens of modules under various headings, each with escalating levels of difficulty – for example, under […]

Why I’m Voting “Yes” in the #yqr #wwtp Referendum (And No, It’s Not For The Reasons You Might Expect)

  Like the title says, I’m voting “Yes” in the Regina Waste Water Treatment Plant Referendum. But it’s not for the reason you might expect… I think I’ve mentioned in passing on this blog that I sometimes regret getting more heavily involved in party politics, first by joining Ryan Meili’s 2009 Sask NDP Leadership bid […]

Saturday Snap – Pace’s Grade One Class Names

It’s interesting to see the trends in kid’s names via the “Name Board” in Pace’s Grade One classroom. Lots of “A” names, “K” names, “M” names; lots of “aid” sounds (Braydon, Jaden, Kayden); a few classic names (Ava, Gwendolyn, Paige). Anything else jump out?

Some Sasha Stuff

Sasha turned five months old a couple days ago so I thought it might be fun to note a few of the things going on in her life these days… – she’s an unbelievable sleeper. Like, she goes down at 8pm and sleeps right through to 8am without waking up almost every single night! (Although […]

Flames vs. Islanders Exhibition Game in #yqr – Why I Didn’t Go…

So my two favourite NHL teams are playing an exhibition game tonight in Regina  and I made the tough decision not to go… There are a couple reasons… – the biggest reason is the price.  Even though it’s an exhibition game, tickets range from $98 for the *lowest* priced to $148.50 for the highest (of those […]

Saturday Snap – En Garde!

A local fencing club was winding up a practice in the same Leisure Centre where Pace just finished swimming lessons. I took him over to peek at the action from the gym door and the members of the group, including a National Champion, could not have been more welcoming when they saw a young kid […]
