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!
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
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Would love to be heading to Mexico or Cuba but instead, we’re off to Edmonton for a “hot” holiday for a week. I may or may not post through the week.
Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea! Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine
With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014. We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…
