Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On A Roof (July 2016)

Mom and dad got invited to a rooftop thank-you event for clients of their financial advisor and managed to convince their advisor to extend the invitation to Shea and I even though our investment portfolios differed by more than a few zeros at the time! Recently had a meeting with all of them again and […]

Music Monday – Living Colour/Extreme Double Bill at Casino Regina

Instead of a single video, I’ll post a couple samples from two of my favourite bands from high school/early college years that are playing a double-bill at Casino Regina tonight, an offering enticing enough to get me to leave the house on a Monday night *and* stay up past my bedtime! Living Colour probably influenced […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Gone Camping (July 2020)

Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm. “Purple Gas” – Zach Bryan and Noeline Hofman

Saturday Snap – Dog Watches Sunset While Camping

“Revelation Blues” – Zachary Lucky

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

Saturday Snap – I Don’t Always Drive A Minivan…

…but when I do, I use it to transport a full-sized fridge!  (And who am I kidding?  I do always drive a minivan.)
