Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day!

Everybody in this photo has two doses of vaccine (except our teen who has one and our kid who isn’t eligible yet.) Feels really good to get close together on the couch for a family picture before a delicious steak supper!

RIP Shane-o (1973-2021)

Overall, death tends to be pretty linear. The oldest people you know usually die first – I suspect grandparents are often the first human deaths most people experience.  Or possibly people of the same generation – great aunts and uncles.  Elderly neighbours. Then, as you get older, the age of those dying, tends to get […]

Now That’s How You Celebrate Mother’s Day!

Shea’s parents got a new fridge recently so we ended up with an old one they had (long story but not the old one that was in their kitchen – a different one they had) which they offered for us to use in our garage as a second fridge. We got it moved in the […]

Music Monday – “So while you sit back and wonder why/I got this fucking thorn in my side/Oh my God, it’s a mirage/I’m tellin’ y’all, it’s a sabotage”

Shea and I recently watched the Beastie Boys documentary on AppleTV+ and really enjoyed it. “Sabotage” – Beastie Boys

I Did Not Wake Up Expecting To Do A Covid Test Today…
