Saturday Snap – #WhyIMissedTheProtestForFreedom #FluTrucksKlan

First, my wife and I took our daughter to her art class where she created and learned with about ten other kids… Before her class started, we went into the centre’s art gallery to check out the latest installation.  We enjoyed this show with a handful of other people who were in the gallery including […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]

Saturday Snap – This snow fort is 1970s approved…

…but not so sure it’s 2020s approved! 😉 Getting an inspection from mom.. Snack packs at the ready (hot chocolate to come later!)…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Get the Shot! (December 2009)

At a Christmas party one of Shea’s nursing colleagues hosted in 2009, one feature was pre-made alcohol shots in syringes. Little did we know how much “get the shot” would change in meaning a decade later!  ?

Five Things I’m Grateful For – 2022 Edition

I’m not much of a New Year’s Resolution guy (“I’m going to lose weight this year!”  Pandemic continues.  “Shit!”) but always good to take account of the things you’re grateful for at this time of year.  Who knows – maybe this could become another annual post tradition? Anyhow… 1.  My Family So fortunate to have […]

Friday Fun Link – Kelloggs vs. GenZ

Kellogg’s workers in the States who have been on strike since October (in the US, apparently workers aren’t guaranteed their job after a strike as I believe is the case in Canada) were in the process of being laid off en masse by the company who wanted to hire 1400 permanent replacement workers. A bunch […]

Music Monday – “Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Tell him all your secret wishes too/Send your letters off to Santa, baby/Hoping all your wildest dreams come true”

It’s not quite December but we’ve already had our tree up for a couple weeks (which was also the timing last year – anything for some extra joy in Covid times!) and spent Sunday morning wrapping presents so I figured it’s time to start sharing some Christmas music too. Oh, and speaking of wrapping presents, […]

Music Monday – “Well, there’s people and more people/What do they know-know-know/Go to work in some high rise/And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah”

Hard to believe it’s been two years since we moved into our new house – time flies but a good reminder that time is pretty meaningless in the age of Covid! 😉 “Pink Houses” – John Mellencamp

Saturday Snap – Coyotes

Shea was up before me the other morning and got to see these visitors in the green space just outside our fence…

Saturday Snap – All I Want For Christmas…

…is an $18,000 piece of art! But I should back up… After picking up Sasha for her art class (she’s decided she wants to be an artist or art teacher when she grows up), we all went to Pile of Bones Brewery intending to have a Saturday afternoon beer/soda.  But it was packed so we […]
