I’m not much of a New Year’s Resolution guy (“I’m going to lose weight this year!” Pandemic continues. “Shit!”) but always good to take account of the things you’re grateful for at this time of year. Who knows – maybe this could become another annual post tradition? Anyhow… 1. My Family So fortunate to have […]

Saturday Snap – Made It To Midnight!

If I was taking bets on who wouldn’t make it to midnight, it’d be Shea or I before these two! 😉

RPL Christmas Party at Sky Park Regina

Had a lot of fun at Sky Park Regina (which had the misfortune to open less than a month before Covid hit but luckily was able to stay in business through the past couple years!) which my work’s social club picked as the location for our annual family Xmas event. It was a blast as […]

Music Monday – “Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Tell him all your secret wishes too/Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Hoping all your wildest dreams come true”

It’s not quite December but we’ve already had our tree up for a couple weeks (which was also the timing last year – anything for some extra joy in Covid times!) and spent Sunday morning wrapping presents so I figured it’s time to start sharing some Christmas music too. Oh, and speaking of wrapping presents, […]

Saturday Snap – I Got Vaccinated (Under 11 Edition)

Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]

First Children’s Vaccination Booked!

Another big milestone in the ongoing battle against Covid – getting our eight year old booked for her first vaccination! (And the email confirmation had the actual address but its definitely the most “Saskatchewan” thing ever to list the location of the vaccination clinic as a business that moved three years ago!)

Music Monday – “Well, there’s people and more people/What do they know-know-know/Go to work in some high rise/And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah”

Hard to believe it’s been two years since we moved into our new house – time flies but a good reminder that time is pretty meaningless in the age of Covid! 😉 “Pink Houses” – John Mellencamp

Saturday Snap – Swimming Lessons in the Age of Covid

Sasha missed her first week while we were waiting for a Covid test result (luckily negative!) Then when we arrive for this week, it’s a very different experience than ever before – proof of vaccination to enter a city facility, get a stamp to confirm to any other staff that we were screened by their […]

Music Monday – “When I’m in the shower/I’m afraid to wash my hair/’Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there”

Halloween’s over but this was our song of the year as Sasha kept singing it over and over after hearing it on my Halloween playlist… “Somebody’s Watching Me” – Rockwell (featuring Michael Jackson)
