Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RIP Cousin

While camping a couple summers ago, we got word that, after years battling a variety of health issues, one of my dad’s ten siblings had started to fail and passed away soon after. Considering that dad was from a family of ten kids and all of his siblings had managed to reach their late 60s, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Protesting at the Saskatchewan Legislature, Then & Now (February 11, 2000) #skpoli #yqr

From my personal journal, February 11, 2000: Settle in to bed (well, a sleeping bag under a cafeteria table) about midnight. Oh, when we get back from grabbing our sleeping bags, I offer to bring a coffee to the security guard and end up having a big talk with him – about how he got […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Rider Game at Taylor Field (July 2012)

Thinking of our tour of the new Mosaic Stadium yesterday, here’s a pic from a game we went to a few years ago in the old Taylor Field (not sure how we got such great seats – think we bought them last minute off Kijiji?)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ferris Wheel Smile (June 2013)

It’s become a bit of a family tradition to take the kid (and now “kids”) to a small parking lot fair that sets up every June at the Northgate Mall, close to our house, instead of the bigger, busier, more expensive Queen City Ex later in the summer. Here’s a pic from when Pace was […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only Ontario Vote (November 2006) #ElectionDay #OntarioVotes2018 #onpooli

With the Ontario provincial election happening today, I’m reminded of the time I unexpectedly got to vote in that province. It was while I was at Western completing my Master’s of Library Science degree and it happened during a federal byelection in London North-Centre which featured Elizabeth May parachuting in to try to win the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Smile? (July 2014)

For a brief period of time, I loved the devil face Sasha would make when you told her to smile! 🙂

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On National Caesar Day, Is This The Best Wedding Ever? (Summer 2017, Somewhere in Ontario)

Like most good Canadians, I enjoy a good caesar. And since it’s National Caesar Day, I’m going to break from Throwback Thursday tradition and instead of posting one of my own pictures of me drinking a caesar or making a caesar or looking lovingly at a caesar on a restaurant table, I wanted to post an awesome […]
