Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NHL Heritage Classic (October 2019)

The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)

Saturday Snap – New Glasses, Who Dis?

“I like the Beatles and I like books – do you have anything that will make me look like a cross between John Lennon and Harry Potter?” “We have just the thing, sir…”

The Covid Continuum

As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”.

“Mommy, you know how you mix a couple different things in a drink sometimes?”

Earlier this summer, we heard that Shea’s cousin’s herd of bison had gotten out and were in a nearby farmer’s field. We knew that previously when only one animal had gotten out, her uncle had been able to guide him back into the pasture using a front-end loader tractor he used to feed them which […]
