Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When My Football Jacket Still Fit (October 2011)

This photo was taken while going through some old clothes at my parent’s house in October 2011 (which happened to be a point in life where a football jacket I bought a two decades earlier sometime around 1991 still fit – something that’s definitely no longer the case!)

Throwback Thursday – Elvis Has (Not) Left The Building (May 2011)

I think it’s been eight years since we were last in Calgary which happened to be a weekend visit which combined a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a Calgary-based aunt and uncle and a 50th birthday party (featuring an appearance by The King!) for a Calgary cousin. Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of […]

Throwback Thursday – Calgary Highlights (2001-2004)

Shea and I lived in Calgary for about three and a half years right after she graduated from nursing school. It was an amazing city to be young in with tons to do – restaurants, bar, attractions. As we prepare for another return visit (the first time back since Sasha was born), here are my […]

(Belated) Throwback Thursday – #tbt – That’s A Switch! (April 2008)

Pace used his saved up birthday/Christmas/babysitting money to buy himself a $500 Nintendo Switch the other day – a long ways from when he was a year old and having fun on the $50 desktop computer I bought from Southeast Regional Library after they decommissioned it.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Miss America (March 2009)

Happy (?) Fourth of July. I think I’ve mentioned that Shea’s and my “mini protest’ after Trump was elected was deciding not to go to the USA – mostly because of him but also because I just found the USA to be increasingly at odds with my personal values in general – from the gun […]

Music Monday – “Well, Canada’s been good to us/We’ve a living and a home/We’ve all got central heating air/And most are on the phone/I’m a citizen of both countries/And very proud to be/For the thistle and the maple leaf/Are the emblems of the free”

Happy Canada Day! I recently re-discovered this photo of myself and four other four Canadians on exchange to the University College of Ripon & York St. John (say that three times fast!) in 1995. I can’t remember the impetus for our fashion choice – maybe at a dance or for the new student orientation? – […]
