Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday.  But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]

It Finally Got Us! (aka “Do I Have Covid?”)

It’s a very informal sample but through social media posts, talking to work colleagues and other family and friends, I’ve noticed a big increase in the “I’ve avoided it for 2.5 years but it finally got me” reports of people getting Covid. Our family is no exception – after two and a half years where, […]

Saturday Snap – “Meals That Make Your Mouth Dance”

We don’t consider ourselves “foodies” per se but Shea and I often talk about the restaurant meals we’ve had that “made our mouths dance”. This rarity happens when we find a combination of unique flavours from fresh ingredients created by great chefs.  (Side note: highly recommend “The Bear” if you haven’t seen it.) A Korean […]

Maybe I Should’ve Bought A Carpenter’s Square Too?

Went to a few garage sales while camping in Weyburn and one person had set-up a Square account to accept credit card payments! (And what’s $8 get you at a garage sale these days?  A brand new tarp still in the plastic, a power bar, an extension cord, and a multi-head screwdriver!  I did okay […]

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 […]
