So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…

Friday Fun Link – Before & After At the #YQR Corner Convenience Store
Thursday March 12, 2020… Wednesday March 18, 2020… (Apparently we can now wipe with Alphabits!?!) 😉
Saturday Snap – Scenes From Plague Week
With apologies to Daniel Dafoe, some scenes from the past few days… Busy disinfecting everything in the house… I *love* my library’s “In the News” display. It’s been a huge hit with how timely and responsive it is and our COVID-themed display was no exception (yes, I know some of those “boost your immunity” books […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Seeing My Name on TV for Telemiracle (March 2012)
TeleMiracle is one of the most successful fundraisers per capita in the world and the latest edition is coming up this weekend. Through the entire Telethon, they have a constant crawl of donors but it’s very rare to see your name on it since the volume of donors is so high. But a few years […]
Great Article (But I Still Wish We Had A Film Industry in Saskatchewan!)
Layton Burton was one of the few who didn’t have to leave the province when the government cut the Film Tax Credit but he did have to go back to school in his 50’s and completely reinvent himself.

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee
Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night
My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]
Some Thoughts On Buying And Selling Houses in December
Shea and I made the offer on our new house on October 5 and took possession on November 22. For a variety of reasons, we were in a fortunate position where we didn’t have to make the purchase conditional on the sale of our old house and, in fact, we were fully prepared to float […]
