This is a great article by one of my favourite NHL players of all-time on one of my two favourite teams – from the anecdotes about not just playing pond hockey in rural Saskatchewan but his dad clearing a beaver dam to make it happen to the leadership lessons of “Badger” Bob Johnson with his relentless […]

Saturday Snap – Christmas Tree Update
We’ve had a blue and silver themed tree since we lived in Calgary when those colours fit into our condo’s young hip colour scheme. 😉 Now that we’re older and more mature, we thought it was finally time to change to a warmer colour scheme that better matched the colours in our home (also decorations were […]
“First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman
Posting this video is an annual tradition. And I could get used to posting it a few days past the middle of November although the trade-off is that the “snow” today was slushie rain this morning that basically turned the whole city into curling rink ice while I had a lunch meeting I walked to […]
+14 on November 8? Wow. #yqr
I can’t find it now but a few years back, I posted a graphic showing the forecast for December 24, 25 & 26 which all showed +4. Today is along the same lines – we’re having double digit plus temperatures well into November and today might be the warmest day yet. A couple friends on […]
Friday Fun Link – Female Runner Who Uses Nike+ To Draw Dicks on Maps is American Hero
[Edit: Corrected title of post to say “…Draw Dicks Is American Hero” instead of “Draw Dicks In American Hero” which is a totally different meaning!] Funny story about a brilliant runner who chooses routes that end up displaying as drawings of penises when mapped online. (This runner also has a Tumblr where she draws other things besides dicks.) […]

This “In An Empty Room” series from the Creative City Centre that I highlighted last week has lots of other great music you should check out… “Squared Up” – Belle Plaine
Music Monday – “Eight days and a clash on the number four/Three witnesses blown up high/My sentence will be done/You can call me a son for wondering why?” @colterwall @premierbradwall
Colter Wall is a Saskatchewan musician who is getting a lot of attention lately, at least in part due to a positive mention by WWE/UFC superstar, Brock Lesnar who used a Wall song in a recent promo video as well as some of his music being included on the “Dog the Bounty Hunter” show. Wall’s first album is […]

Shea and I were out for a walk with the kids the other week when I took this photo…
Saturday Snap – Parkour Lesson @FluxRegina #yqr
Pace went for a trial parkour lesson at Flux School of Human Movement today. Here’s a series of photos of one of the moves they learned – the Lache.
Great #Saskatchewan MustardFest #yqr
Shea and I attended MustardFest with my mom last weekend (Grandpa stayed home and babysat which was just as well given how crowded the event was.) It threatened rain like they had in 2014 but it turned into a beautiful day this year for people to celebrate one of Saskatchewan’s biggest crops. My only suggestion […]
