Happy Reverse Gestation Day, Pace!

If you're an English major, you might see some great and deep symbolism in the fact that we took Pace to the womb-like waters of a mineral spa almost exactly nine months to the day after he was born.  Today is his nine-month birthday and it's almost unbelievable how quickly the time has flown – and I […]

Happy Valenkeg's Day

When I was in undergrad, I was a regular at the Bushwakker Brew Pub for Robbie Burns Night each January.  Every year, they had a draw to go with the celebrations and on one particularly memorable occasion, I happened to win a free keg.  Since the next major holiday after Robbie Burns Night (barring Groundhog […]

Merry Christmas Everyone! (A Message From Santa Claus)

I told the story in a recent post about how the person that clued me in about Santa Claus was also the same person that first made me doubt the existence of God. So I thought the picture below was appropriate for today, even though I know that posting this picture today is sort of […]

Is "Hit The Rhubarb" a Saskatchewan-Only Expression?

An Alberta cousin sent me this joke which seems appropriate after I hit the ditch last weekend for the first time in fifteen years. A Winter Statistic98% of Canadians say “Oh Shit!” before going in the ditch on a slippery road.  The other 2% are from Saskatchewan and they say “Hold My Beer and Watch […]
