An Unintentional Trip Down Memory Lane

Contemplating a Luther College Dorm Room Shea and I rarely take three weeks’ vacation at a time – we usually spread our holiday allotment out through the year – some in the winter (especially in years when we can afford a hot holiday), a week or two in summer (sometimes together and sometimes not) and then […]

Saturday Snap – Luther College ~20 Year Reunion (@LutherEdu)

A friend who was in Luther dorms at the same time I was back in the early 1990’s was going to be passing through Regina from her home in Ottawa during her summer holidays. She reached out to a few people to see if there’d be any interest in having a mini-reunion at Luther College, one […]

Some Random Thoughts on Don McMorris’ Resignation #skpoli

Here’s a few random thoughts on yesterday’s resignation (from Cabinet but not as a sitting MLA) of Don McMorris, who was Saskatchewan’s Deputy Premier and (ironically) Minister Responsible for Sask Government Insurance (SGI) and Sask Liquor & Gaming Authority (SLGA). McMorris was apparently caught on his way back to Regina from Fort Qu’Appelle so unfortunately, it’s not […]

Ten Reasons Our Recent Camping Trip Was Perhaps Our Best Ever

We’re back from a week and a half of camping – one week at Greenwater Provincial Park and then, after a quick night in Regina, another few days at Shea’s parents’ seasonal site in Weyburn. Both parts were great but Shea and I agreed that the week in Greenwater was maybe our best camping trip […]

Saturday Snap – Gone Camping!

We’re off camping for the next couple weeks so posts will likely be few and far between…unless the kids end up building a really cute fort out of firewood and I have to post a picture! 😉

Throwback Thursday – Our New rPod182G Camper (August 2014)

Hard to believe we’ve already had our camper for three summers (well, two and a bit since we bought it near the end of the season three years ago.) We’ve had a lot of fun with it so far, travelled to parks across the province and after a quick trip out to Rowan’s Ravine last weekend […]

Pokemania!

So you have to be living under a rock to have not heard about the new augmented reality map-based game, Pokemon Go!.  I first heard about it when it was all over Reddit, soon after its release in early July. I have to be honest – my first reaction was to ignore it as I thought of […]

Saturday Snap – BikeCar Like An Icon?

Saw this rig on Albert St. the other day…

Friday Fun Link – What The World’s Biggest Sites Looked Like At Launch

This is pretty interesting featuring screenshots of the original version of sites such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. For comparison’s sake, here’s what my very first web page looked like in December 1998 (this isn’t the first page I ever made but the earliest I could find in the Wayback Machine).       Crazy to […]

Saturday Snap – More From The Top of Regina

Here’s a few more shots from the TD Bank reception which we attended with my mom and dad on top of Regina’s new Hill Tower III Friday evening. Great three piece jazz band for entertainment… Panoramic of the view facing south… Wearing Rider green to a TD Bank reception serves a double purpose!
