Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

I repeatedly hear people say some variation of: “You should only worry about things within your control”. I hear it at work. In politics. In the labour movement. In memes and Internet posts. As if saying it, somehow makes it true. I’m not sure if it comes out of the mental health/self-help movement. It might […]

Throwback Thursday – “A Man Without Land Is Nothing” – Duddy Kravitz (August 2022)

I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]

Saturday Snap – Above Ground Pool

My brother-in-law and his wife (and their young son who saved his money to help contribute!) got an above ground pool for their acreage which is halfway between where we camp at Nickle Lake and Weyburn. Still too cold for me but Sasha and her cousin were brave enough to try it out. Will be […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sasha Sleeping (June 2013)

Really fallen into a trap of not doing daily posts but instead, falling a week behind then doing a catch-up flurry of multiple posts. C’mon AI – hurry and take over this weird self-imposed responsibility! 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (February 2020)

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Music Monday – “I miss the world before it was polluted/With space cowboy billionaires, when irony was still ironic/I miss America right after 9/11/When everyone was bonded, even if it only lasted seconds”

Took Sasha and a friend to an inclusivity celebration triple-bill of Mother Mother, Cavetown and Winnetka Bowling League at the Brandt Centre on Monday night. I knew the first two bands a little bit (mostly through Sasha) but didn’t really know the opener. All were great in their own way but Winnetka Bowling League (terrible […]
