Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happier Times at the Hospital (May 2007)

It’s amazing how the hospital can be both the location for some of the happiest moments of people’s lives (births of children, news about diseases being beaten and bones being healed) and some of the worst (a loved one doesn’t make it after an accident, grandma’s last breaths on the palliative care ward, the diagnosis […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Practicing Protective Measures In The Good Old Days(May 2019)

Pace was into personal protective gear long before the current COVID-19 outbreak. (Of course, this was how he suited up to load dirty dishes into the dishwasher at our old house so a lot lower health risk I would hope!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Seeing My Name on TV for Telemiracle (March 2012)

TeleMiracle is one of the most successful fundraisers per capita in the world and the latest edition is coming up this weekend. Through the entire Telethon, they have a constant crawl of donors but it’s very rare to see your name on it since the volume of donors is so high. But a few years […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)

It’s sort of funny to think about how we’ve flown to the Cancun International Airport a handful of times over the past few years and it’s always the same WestJet flight we take every single year since we go the same week leaving and returning on the same day.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Blog Analytics for 2019

As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]
