Review of @willowonwascana “Dining in the Dark” Event #yqr @willowwineguy @mecheftim

When I was in Montreal for a conference in 2009, I got to have the very cool experience of dining at “O Noir”, a restaurant where you eat your entire meal completely in the dark. Because of the unique nature of restaurants like this, you tend to only encounter them in larger cities that can […]

Music Monday – “When I was a child I cried/Until my needs were satisfied/My needs have grown up pound for pound/I’ll be at peace when they let me down”

Two legends together. Interesting fact – my montage of photos from the day Pace was born, set to a Loretta Lynn song, is my most viewed YouTube video of all-time with 36,000+ views as I type this. Shea and I were also fortunate to get to see Willie Nelson live in concert while we lived […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Anniversary to Me!

I had to work this weekend so Shea took the kids to spend a couple days enjoying the beautiful +13 weather at her parents’ house in Weyburn. I can’t decide if getting to go to the Bushwakkers for supper tonight (which we rarely get to since it’s a pub with a “no kids allowed” policy) […]

Music Monday – “You can get yourself clean/You can have a good meal/You can do whatever you feel…”

Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]

Thoughts on my new iPhone

I consider myself pretty tech savvy so people were often surprised to hear/see that I was still using an iPhone 4S that I got in Fall 2011 as my smartphone. There’s a few reasons for this but the main one is that the phone still worked well enough for the most part and I’m not […]

The 10 Most Unique Experiences In My Life

Shea and I have reached that point in our lives where we tend to buy most Christmas gifts for ourselves and then label them as if they were from each other. But we do usually try to get at least one original “surprise” gift as well – for example, this year I bought her some […]

10 “Injuries” During Our Cuba Trip

Shea jammed her finger winding up a Christmas spinning toy before we even left but luckily it only hurt for a day. Coming from a long line of Scots, I refuse to pay for something I can get for free. So while Shea goes to a tanning salon before any trip to get a nice glow […]

Saskatchewan Arbitrator Rules Healthcare Workers Don’t Need To Wear Full Name on ID Tags

A recent Saskatchewan arbitration decision which found that it’s a violation of workers’ rights to be safe and free of harassment to be required to wear name tags with their full name is timely given a couple recent events… First, in my end of year mega-post, I mentioned in Question #31 about “My Personal Fashion Sense” that RPL […]

Enjoying Christmas supper… Sasha got cool sunglasses for the beach and a new hoodie from Grandpa and Grandma… She also loved her princess dress-up outfit…   Pace had a parkour […]
