Then he went on to score a fourth goal to cap off an amazing performance! The last 16-year-old to record a ??? for ?? before Connor Bedard? That would be The Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky, who did it on Christmas Day 1977 against Czechoslovakia.#WorldJuniors | @BCHockey_Source | @WHLPats | #OurGameIsBack pic.twitter.com/Cpxclagh8i — Hockey Canada […]

Happy 69th Birthday, Dennis!

Happy birthday to my father-in-law who turns 69 today. Here’s a pic of him and Pace standing in front of a tractor we stumbled upon in an Estevan parking lot that happens to be the exact same model as the first tractor they had on their farm, I think roughly when he was Pace’s age.

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

Denise Batters Kicked Out of CPC Caucus

You love to see it… O’Toole has booted Senator Denise Batters from caucus.Of course, this is unlikely to shut her up. This may only embolden her. It’s also sending a statement as to what kind of dissent he will and will not tolerate, and it’s funny how he’ll tolerate anti-vaxxers but not her. pic.twitter.com/5ptC8NJ3tI — […]
