Throwback Thursday – Happy Work-iversary To Me! (September 2008)

Friday is my 15th work anniversary of starting at RPL which is hard to believe! (Uhm, time flies when you’re having fun?!?) I was trying to write a long post talking about the various roles I’ve held at RPL, some of the highs and lows, and more. But it was just getting longer and longer […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sea Urgency (January 2012)

“Sea Urgency” instead of “Sea Urchin” is a malapropism that Sasha coined in Mexico but it applies for this picture taken during a snorkeling excursion in Hawaii in January 2012 long before she was born…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Bellagio Fountains (March 2009)

May have told this story before but my parents won a trip for two to Las Vegas and it happened to coincide with a week that Shea and I had booked off. So after a bit of chaos to get Pace (two going on three) a rush passport, we booked and ended up going along. […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I’ve Always Been A Fan of The Grey Area of Copyright (circa 1990?)

The struggle was real – do you record in SP and get the maximum quality, LP for a balance of quality and quantity, or EP and get the most on the tape (I think the answer below is obvious – VHS tapes were expensive when I was in high school and making $4.50/hr at a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – One Year Ago, I Had Shingles (June 2022)

…replaced on my roof about a year after a major hailstorm ripped through north Regina and punched machine-gun holes in most houses’ siding in our neighbourhood. (Our next door neighbours just got their siding done this week!) In a weird way, this was perfect timing as our house had original shingles that were end-of-life so […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pace Turning Sixteen

Hard to believe Pace is 16 on May 19th! When he was born, I was trying to take a photo of him with an “Oscar The Grouch” doll I bought Shea regularly. (We called Pace “Oscar the Grouch” in utero as he was often “grumpy”.) I didn’t it every year like I had hoped but […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – “I Am Not Napping IN Here!” (May 2013)

I feel like posting this picture online is enough to get a call to the authorities! 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My First Gmail Message (June 2004)

Not sure how I stumbled upon this but poking around my Gmail account recently (which I have used since day one as my secondary account for entering contests, subscribing to newsletters I’ll never read and generally trying to target spam there so rarely look at it), I found the first message I ever sent to […]
