Throwback Thursday – #tbt – What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up? (June 2013)

I took Pace to a wrestling show last weekend but it wasn’t his first – we’d gone to one or two over the years and though he never became as obsessed as I was at his age, he did obviously watch wrestling on TV with me occasionally given what he told his kindergarten teacher he […]

A Few Highlights From CWE “Cruel Summer” Wrestling Show in Weyburn, SK

Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]

Calgary Flames Fans Debate Vaccine Requirements

This thread may be the biggest shit show in the history of CalgaryPuck, a Calgary Flames fan site/message board I’ve been reading since 2001. What starts as a discussion of the Jets announcing they’ll require proof of vaccination devolves as a series of antivaxxers keep popping up to make all sorts of logically and factually […]

Music Monday – “Well I looked in the sky today/Didn’t see a single plane/All my life there’s been streaks through the sky/Yeah I looked in the sky today”

What’s The Easiest (and Hardest) Olympic Gold Medals To Win?

With the Summer Olympics on, I can’t be the only person with this question. (Of course, I broke my wrist going off a bike jump a couple years ago and broke my leg playing beer league hockey about a decade ago. So maybe sports dominance isn’t in my future, no matter how “easy” the sport?)

Music Monday – “I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm/The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged/The bells are ringing through the town again/The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing”

Live music is slowly coming back including Jason Isbell covering R.E.M. at Red Rocks the other night. (Not to mention, that same night, I got to see a local artist covering an Isbell song at the Nickle Lake beer gardens which was just as enjoyable!) “Driver 8” – Jason Isbell (R.E.M. Cover)

New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park

Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too. Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]
