I’ve been heavily involved in a variety of major changes for those I love most in the past three years – my mom is now in a care home because of her dementia, my dad has finished the sale of the last quarter of land from the farm that’s been in our family since 1883 […]

Music Monday – “Everyone’s watching, to see what you will do/Everyone’s looking at you,/oh Everyone’s wondering, will you come out tonight/Everyone’s trying to get it right, get it right
Had a busy weekend… Went to meet my local councillor at his “Coffee with a Councillor” event and ended up bumping into enough of city council including the Mayor to have quorum for a meeting! (not pictured – Councillor Mark Burton) Had a great chat about taxes, mega projects, development, and yes, even though I […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)
With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.
Saturday Snap – Smokey Moon
The extreme northern wildfires have brought a blanket of smoke to the south part of the province creating some eerie and stunning visuals including this crescent-shaped blood moon…
Secular Sunday – What Happens When An Atheist Climbs The Stations of the Cross?
I’ve basically lived near it for 50+ years. But in all my trips through the Qu’Appelle Valley, had never walked the Stations of the Cross at Lebret. Of course, being an atheist, I also had no desire to climb it for religious reasons. But perhaps I was inspired by the new Pope being named. Or […]
Saturday Snap – Camping Napping
Working hard getting our campsite ready for the summer…
Music Monday – “It’s a working man I am/And I’ve been down under ground/And I swear to God if l ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind/I never again will go down under ground”
Decided to go to Regina’s “Day of Mourning” event at City Hall this year. Twenty-seven people died workplace-related deaths last year and this was the first year I knew one of them which makes the whole thing a lot more real. This was a song they played at the end of the ceremony. “Working Man” […]
Music Monday – “I miss the world before it was polluted/With space cowboy billionaires, when irony was still ironic/I miss America right after 9/11/When everyone was bonded, even if it only lasted seconds”
Took Sasha and a friend to an inclusivity celebration triple-bill of Mother Mother, Cavetown and Winnetka Bowling League at the Brandt Centre on Monday night. I knew the first two bands a little bit (mostly through Sasha) but didn’t really know the opener. All were great in their own way but Winnetka Bowling League (terrible […]
Music Monday – “Mhm, you’re gonna look so cute/Sunglasses and bathing suits/Be the baby of my dreams/Like the ladies in the magazines”
Happy Birthday Shea! Looking forward to spending a night at the Moose Jaw Spa with you to celebrate! “Twisting By The Pool” – Dire Straits
Saturday Snap – Japanese Head Massage/Vietnamese Noodle Bowls
Shea and I decided to try the Japanese Head Massage at Salon 13 in the Northgate Mall as our Valentine’s gift to each other followed by lunch at the restaurant quality food court gem, “Hung Kitchen“. Very relaxing! Very delicious!
