Saturday Snap – Happy 19th Anniversary, Shea (and Happy 2nd Anniversary of the Calendar Year!) ;-)

Shea and I have been together for 24 years (“more than half my life!” she regularly reminds me), married for 19 years and today, are celebrating our “preferred” anniversary date…as we joke that we have three each year: * the February legal one when we got married in jeans in our living room in Calgary […]

Friday Funk Link – 10 Ways To Make A Winter Trip to West Edmonton Mall Feel Like A Tropical Vacation

Contrary to the impression you might get from some western Premiers, the Covid pandemic is not over. But with vaccinations and boosters also being increasingly common, we’re all slowly returning to “normal” (whatever that is.) Shea and I weren’t quite ready to book an out-of-country hot holiday as that leads to all sorts of other […]

Secular Sunday – A Rare Atheist Prayer

We’re in Edmonton on holidays. The downtown is like a war-zone due to all the construction. Through the mists of concrete dust in the air, you can see the beautiful Rogers Place. By all accounts, Rogers is the nirvana of NHL arenas. The Oilers are on a five-game winning streak after getting a new coach. […]

Health Food for Superb Owl?

Told you I saw some home fries in my future (and in terms of “healthy”, I’m sure one of those puff pastries has some green stuff in it!) 😉 No matter what you’re eating, enjoy the Superb Owl!

Saturday Snap – I See A Lot of Home Fries In My Future!

Maybe a year ago, a coworker hooked me up with a guy who sells 50 lb bags of misshapen potatoes.  And of course, when I picked up the first time, it turned out he’s a library patron I knew! In fact, after chatting with him during my most recent pickup, I even ended up sending […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fantasyland Hotel (February 2014)

With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014.  We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…

Music Monday – “And we can still get information/Reading all about inflation/And you’re never gonna be out of reach/There’s a call-box on the beach”

Shea’s folks are in for appointments and staying at a hotel so we popped over for a swim and a visit. For some reason the song below kept running through my head (and that, in turn, bringing back fond memories of season-ending party at my hometown pool where all the lifeguards did a poolside dance […]
