Thanks to the good folks at SparkleTour.ca, it’s super-easy for anyone in Regina to plot out a tour of some of the best light displays our city has to offer – you can find the ones nearest you or, as we did tonight, plot a route to all of the ones that have achieved a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ryan Meili Is Running (April 2009)
Got a pretty exciting early Christmas present today with Ryan Meili’s announcement that he’ll be seeking the nomination in a by-election in Saskatoon-Meewasin. Here’s a photo from Ryan’s announcement of his Sask NDP leadership campaign in Regina in April 2009…
Saturday Snap – My Favourite Christmas Tradition?
One of Shea’s and my Christmas traditions is that we go out for lunch together without kids (usually) sometime in December to a place where we can have a good meal and possibly a pint or other refreshing beverage as well. We were both off yesterday so decided to visit the Rochdale Leopold’s (I’d been before […]
Music Monday – “I felt like a king on the 25th day/Most precious of gifts returned my gaze/Not seventeen years, in fact less a day/Who dreamed of red flowers surrounding a grave?/Another trip ’round the sun rewinds misery/The whiskey, the tree and me”
I love that the local independent radio station wakes me up every morning and I doubly love when a song penetrates my brain as I switch from sleeping to being awake. Today, this was the song I heard as I dozed between sleep and wake… “The Whiskey, The Tree and Me” – JJ Voss
First Snow of the Year – Hawksley Workman
We had one brief hit a few weeks ago that went away but otherwise, November 29 is a pretty good day for posting this traditional blog post to commemorate the first snow of the year (the first that looks like it’s going to stick around anyhow)…
Saturday Snap – Great Christmas Light Display on Sangster Blvd #yqr
We’re pretty lucky that this house is about a block from our house. And doubly lucky because the unseasonably warm weather allowed us to walk over in light jackets to check it out the other night. That let us hear the outside speakers and although this angle doesn’t show it, the kids also loved seeing […]
Saturday Snap – How To Take Maximum Advantage of An Unseasonably Warm Saturday in mid-November? #yqr
There’s lots of possibilities but these folks win by having a yard sale!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I’m Voting Obama” (November 2012)
Happier times… And when Cam Broten beat Ryan Meili by 44 votes out of thousands cast after Ryan was widely expected to win, I learned the hard way that you can never count someone out. I never thought Trump could beat Clinton but I never assumed it was a sure thing either. In fact, I […]
Saturday Snap – Farewell Mosiac Stadium #riders #yqr #mosaicmoments #mosaicmemories
Everyone else is sharing their memories of Taylor Field today so I thought I’d share a few of mine… I have no memory of my first game but I have two aunts who’ve had season tickets since forever so as a kid, we’d occasionally be given their tickets and I’d get to go to a […]
Friday Fun Link – Car Pool Karaoke with Saskatoon’s New Mayor
Saskatoon’s just defeated mayor missed the Gay Pride parade during his thirteen years in the Mayor’s Chair (no matter his personal feelings, he obviously missed the memo about representing all citizens of his city.) Anyhow, I get the impression Saskatoon’s new mayor won’t miss the parade…
