Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys workin’ at the pumps/And we’d pull up and fall in love/And they’ve all moved away”

RIP Toby Keith. Lots of famous musicians have recorded Fred Eaglesmith songs but he just happens to have recorded my favourite which reminds me so much of my high school years working in a small town gas station: “White Rose” – Toby Keith

Who Said Non-Stop Playing Video Games Was Bad For You?

Incredibly proud of Pace who, along with two of his classmates from Thom Collegiate, got voted by his peers as having the second most popular video game in the video game class he took at Campus Regina! The class had students from high schools all across Regina and 13 different games being demoed at the […]

Music Monday – “It’s coming on Christmas/They’re cutting down trees They’re putting up reindeer/Singing songs of joy and peace/I wish I had a river I could skate away on”

Saturday Snap – Elfie! #yqr

Took Sasha and a friend to see “Elf” at the recently reopened Moonlight Cinemas (formerly Rainbow Cinemas.). Three bucks for a weekend matinee ticket – are you kidding me???

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Water Fountain Flower (January 2012)

One highlight of working at Central Library was being able to go out and walk around Wascana Lake (part of the largest urban park in North America!) regularly during my lunch breaks. Always liked this photo I took on my route one day…

Saturday Snap – Eagles Club

I’ve lived in Regina most of my life but had never been to the Eagles Club, a members-only space downtown that’s reminiscent of a small town bar mixed with a Royal Canadian Legion with a focus on charitable giving. So when a neighbour who’s a member invited Shea and I to join him and a […]

Saturday Snap – Small Town Funeral

I wish there was a better way to get the best tasting egg salad sandwiches on the planet.

Friday Fun Link – Boomerang Retro C-64 Video Game

A guy I went to school with got a game published in Compute! magazine in the late 90’s (and got a $500 payday or something wild). These were the days were the code was printed in the magazine and you had to manually enter it to play the game. (I still remember my Grade Six […]

Saturday Snap – Boundaries? What Boundaries?

In my Wisdom Wednesday series, I’ll eventually do a post about the difference I see between what I call “black & white” thinkers and “grey area” thinkers. (Myers-Briggs has 16 classifications. True Colors has 4. Hamology basically only has 2!) One big aspect of this difference is that are those who think there are hard […]
