The entire Star Wars universe can be pretty confusing, especially when there are years if not decades between films. Seeing the arc of a single character through the whole series does a good job of explaining different moments and motivations…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ranking the Nine Star Wars Movies (1977 to 2020)
Finally got to see a matinee of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” the other day so have now seen all three trilogies comprising nine total films within the main Star Wars universe. Like many kids of the 1980’s, Star Wars was a pretty major part of my childhood. The first “Star Wars” movie (later […]
Music Monday – “We could leave the Christmas lights up till January/This is our place, we make the rules/And there’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear/Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?”

Friday Fun Link – My New Christmas Movie Tradition?
I was in the habit of watching *Love Actually” every December but last year I didn’t get to it and instead I watched this which has nothing to do with Christmas but, since I watched it right before Christmas, still managed to feel like a Christmas movie if that makes sense?
Music Monday – “Christmas Eve will find me/Where the love light gleams/I’ll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams”
I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – one of the most absolutely beautiful, heart-wrenching Christmas songs of all-time. And so appropriate these days too. We’re extremely excited for our first Christmas in our new house of course. But it also comes with mixed emotions knowing that a decision we made only two […]
Music Monday – “It seems such a waste of time/If that’s what it’s all about/Mama if that’s movin’ up/Then I’m movin’ out”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Spirit of the West Full Concert (June 2015)
Obviously I wasn’t at this concert but I was at Spirit of the West’s Regina show around the same time (same tour?) after John Mann’s diagnosis and this is a pretty good capture of the mixed emotions of that show – joy, sadness, awe, fear.
RIP John Mann (1964-2019)
It was a long, inevitable farewell. After announcing his Early Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2014, John Mann, lead singer and frontman of the seminal 90’s Canadiana band, Spirit of the West, embarked on a farewell tour with the band in 2014. Shea and I got to see this show and it reminded me of why, […]
Music Monday – “And she told me that she loved me/And I grinned and grabbed her hand and said, “I know”/Let’s get from here/Now darling if we’re going/Let’s go on and go.”
