My wife is really excited to know I’m going to be wearing something over my eyes while swinging a hockey stick around in our living room – welcome to the future! 😉  

Friday Fun Link – “The Years Have Flown By” 50th Anniversary Charter Plane Ride

I alluded to this in Thursday’s post when I wrote “the years have flown by” about my mom and dad’s 50th Anniversary.  But I didn’t want to give away the big surprise I had planned for their anniversary gift knowing they read my blog. Honestly, it was a bit tough trying to come up with […]

One of Saskatchewan’s Highest Profile Anti-Vaxxers & Former PPC Candidate Rumoured To Be In Saskatoon Covid Ward

But I don’t think he qualifies for the Herman Cain Award…yet. I want ZERO Saskatchewan residents to die from covid. Pro-vax, anti-vax, young or old.

Catholic schools putting the Christian cross on their orange shirts. Businesses, organizations & people that don’t buy their orange shirts from Indigenous companies. Our federal government and its representatives continuing […]

Okay, did this a couple elections ago for #Elxn42 but don’t think I did the last election.  But no big plans tonight other than a stiff rye & ginger ale so let’s see what we can see… – get home from work at 6pm to see that the split is roughly Libs – 21, Con […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Making a Difference at the Library (May 2021)

“He likes repetition,” she said. “So it’s like ‘yea you were just at the library to visit Jason, and you got to see Cheri, and Shirley gave you the hand stamp. There’s a real connection there that’s vital to him.’” Brandon was a child of the system who was put into foster care at the […]

Five Highlights of Camping (August Version)

Between Shea and I, we camped a personal record of 62 nights this summer from May to September including two 2-week stretches, every weekend, every long weekend and probably a few extra nights we managed to squeeze in here and there. Here’s some highlights from the month we just wrapped up… 1. Cornhole Tournament My […]
