Music Monday – “‘Cause I’ve been lost on them back roads/And many times, I’ve gone blind/Losing faith in my family/Had drew me out my damn mind”

Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]

Music Monday – “I still remember momma walking down the living room stairs/And daddy saying with a smile, “that’s my girl right there”/They had their share of ups and downs/And I saw the best, and the worst, and the work, and the worth it.”

It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts… “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts

And To Think I Knew Him When… ;-) @aarongenest

A former colleague on the Ryan Meili Leadership Campaign v 2.0 (the tall blonde guy in the above picture) recently went viral with a tweet about how he was able to support one of his female employees during Covid. This even included his story getting highlighted on ABC’s “Good Morning America”! I’m not a big […]

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!

The Covid Continuum

As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”. I’d say the range for this starts with anyone who’s absolutely minimized their outings since March – maybe only leaving the house to buy […]

Saturday Snap – I Shouldn’t Find This So Funny…

…but the fact that Andrew Scheer’s Regina office is right beside a vape shop strikes me as hilarious for some reason.

Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman

Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rural Sask Wedding (August 2008)

I keep looking at old pictures and thinking about how much has changed due to Covid. Here’s another example: – more than 30 people gathered – dancing – singing – drinking – communal meal – close together – no masks On and on…

Covid 19 Vaccine Arrives in Saskatchewan!

Have to admit Shea and I both had tears in our eyes watching the first two healthcare workers be vaccinated this evening in Regina (in the very hospital Shea works in and has worked in all year without a break) after what has been a long, strange, stressful year. There are a lot of reasons […]
