Saturday Snap – Catching Up With An Old Friend

A lifelong buddy who now lives in Arizona and who we haven’t seen in years sent me a text that he was back in town for the weekend and wanted to meet for a pint. I was so excited I booked a time with him, completely forgetting that we’d also planned a family supper for […]

Saturday Snap – First Day At The Campground This Year!

Went out to clean up our seasonal campsite and do some work to get it ready before we move in our camper next week. There were forecasts for rain and even thunder showers so we had debated whether to even go or not. But other than a couple sprinkles, no rain all day – just […]

One Month To Camping (Maybe?)

Watched the Nickle Lake AGM livestream tonight (one good thing coming out of Covid is increasing use of video for things like this) and very excited to think that we might be in our campsite in a month…if it ever quits snowing so we don’t have to dress like this at our campsite!

Music Monday – “It was late last night the other day/I thought I’d go up and see Ray So l went up and I saw Ray/There was only one thing Ray could say, was…”

Happy birthday to my dad, Ray, who showed up yesterday along with my mom after a weekend visiting my sister. We didn’t have a formal gift for him but did give him a steak supper and homemade Saskatoon pie! “Motorcycle Song” – Arlo Guthrie

Another (Minor) Covid Milestone?

I had been in Pace’s high school for various reasons over the years – through my work, for political events, when the kids’ elementary school Winter Concerts were held in the much larger high school auditorium. Of course high school is a bit different than elementary school but still feels strange that tonight was the […]

Video of Multi-Vehicle Pileup in Pennsylvania (and My Most Scary Winter Drives)

This happened on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania today pic.twitter.com/ONUUGOdtrH — ?_ Imposter_? (@Imposter_Edits) March 28, 2022 This video clip is insane (and sad – apparently five people died as a result of this multi-car pile-up in Pennsylvania when a snow squall blew in suddenly.) Growing up in Saskatchewan, I’ve had my share of scary winter […]

Saturday Snap – Happy 19th Anniversary, Shea (and Happy 2nd Anniversary of the Calendar Year!) ;-)

Shea and I have been together for 24 years (“more than half my life!” she regularly reminds me), married for 19 years and today, are celebrating our “preferred” anniversary date…as we joke that we have three each year: * the February legal one when we got married in jeans in our living room in Calgary […]

Friday Funk Link – 10 Ways To Make A Winter Trip to West Edmonton Mall Feel Like A Tropical Vacation

Contrary to the impression you might get from some western Premiers, the Covid pandemic is not over. But with vaccinations and boosters also being increasingly common, we’re all slowly returning to “normal” (whatever that is.) Shea and I weren’t quite ready to book an out-of-country hot holiday as that leads to all sorts of other […]
