Toboggan Bowling?

With some beautiful weather today, we decided to head to the elementary school near our house to do some tobogganing this afternoon.  There’s a small hill behind the school which is “Pace-sized” – except some enterprising folks had seen fit to create an ice run on the hill, build a jump at the bottom of […]

Music Monday – “You look like an angel/Your skin makes me cry”

I recently discovered a sub-Reddit that could give me Music Monday material for years to come.  r/coversongs is exactly as it says – links to various cover versions of songs done by well-known and unknown performers. Here’s one of my favourite covers that I’ve come across so far… …which you can contrast with the following […]

Friday Fun Link – 21st Century Nativity Story

Well, after a week of fairly provocative posts about atheism and religion, I came across this video (thanks to BB on Facebook) and thought I’d post this as a bit of a peace offering to anyone who read my posts and was offended or suddenly thinks I’m a dick – if you didn’t already! 😉 […]

Wisdom Wednesday – “Another Look at Bill C32 and the Access Copyright Tariff”

Dr. Sam Trosow holds a pretty special place in my FIMS experience as both the first and last professor I had classes with.  Thinking about my first class is pretty funny in retrospect but at the time quite stressful since I mis-read my schedule as my first night class happening at 7pm when in reality, […]

Music Monday – “Seems like everywhere I go/The more I see, the less I know”

It’s always good to have a song that makes you want to dance around the room and this song has the coveted “most played” top spot in my “Pace Dancing Tunes” playlist.

Friday Fun Link – 20 Years of Ness Creek Festival

I went to the Ness Creek Festival a few times in the late 1990’s.  It’s got many similarities to the more typical folk music festivals you’re probably most familiar with but there’s something about this festival – its origins as a tree planters’ festival in a remote location probably being its most distinguishing feature – […]

Friday Fun(ny) Link – Baby’s First Word

When I was born, my parents were running a bulk fuel business in my hometown.  I was basically raised in the office of that ESSO fuel station for the first few years of my life (which explains a lot of my current brain damage and any future cancers I may acquire!) With the number of […]
