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 […]
Friday Fun Link – So…What’d You Do Today?
Nothing much, just bought a house! 😉 (Er, obviously this is a story months and really, years, in the making but I’m sure I’ll get to the full story soon. For now, I’m heading to bed after a *very* long day!)
Secular Sunday – I’d Prefer A Sprinkle of Success in the Red Zone
As an atheist, I always chuckle at athletes who inject their religion into the game or somehow seem to believe that god is helping them win or have success or whatever.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – #officialRPL Annual Report 1996 #yqr
One of the ladies in my branches’ “Celebrate Seniors!” program (she’s a model on page 2!) showed me an RPL annual report she recently rediscovered. Amazing stuff…
NHL #HeritageClassic Highlights
Wrong team won but with a few days to think about it, probably worth it to see a 3-on-3 overtime outdoors (pond hockey!) and would’ve been even better if it had gone to shootout too!
2019 Edition of “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman
It created a pretty magical “snow globe” effect at the Heritage Classic last night, continued to fall through the night and it’s always a bit of a judgement call but it feels like it’s time to do my annual post of this song as it feels like the snow is here to stay again for […]
Saturday Snap – Ready To Head Out to the Heritage Classic!
Pretty cool experience to go to the Flames Heritage Classic game in Regina with my Calgary cousins and our dads.
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)
I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]
