I Did Not Wake Up Expecting To Do A Covid Test Today…

Saturday Snap – Triple Masking = Max Covid Protection?

I was talking to the kids about possibly double-masking as an added precaution and Sasha decided to take it a step further with three masks (which she didn’t end up wearing, mostly because she ran out of ear to hook the straps on!) And it didn’t last long as we made the decision to pull […]

Covid-19: A Year in Review

But remembering the past is also a way of believing that this moment will someday be the past. Which is to say, nostalgia for the past is also a way of believing in the future. Daydreaming about the After Times — the Before Times’s mythic counterpart — is in part an exercise in imagining what it will […]

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Saturday Snap – Snow Day? What’s That?

We had a bit of a surprise waiting for us when we opened our front door after the big snow/wind storm earlier this week. In fact, pretty much our whole house was caked in snow like this – pretty cool effect – almost like living in a snow globe!

A Visual Representation of 2020 for Christmas?
