The World’s Longest Waterslide (And Some Thoughts on Zen Videos, Feelings of Melancholy and Modern Technology)

2021 End of Years Memes: Lots of Vaccinations But No Vacations, Lots of TV Shows Watched But A 50th Anniversary Video Is My Favourite Show of the Year

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Got my Covid vaccine (along with my good buddy, Premier Scott Moe, who happened to be in the drive-thru line behind me!) Picked my son up after a noon-hour bomb threat at his school (which was a false alarm luckily!) 2. Did anyone […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Candy Cane Cast (November 2009)
