So, on somewhat short notice, Shea and I have decided to head for Sin City (except that we'll have Pace in tow so “sin” will be restricted to too much sugar and staying up later than 8pm.) How this came about is that my parents called last weekend that they'd won a free flight to […]

FTRW 2009 – "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" (Feb 26, 2009)
A great documentary I'd highly recommend…
FTRW 2009 – Music Monday – "You May Take Offense/To A Word Like Fuck or Shit (DICK!)" (Feb 23, 2009)
This was a popular song when I was in undergrad around the time that Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore's wife, Tipper was contributing to greenhouse gases by shooting off a lot of hot air about obscene lyrics in popular music. Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that Anthrax released two versions of their album […]
Pace's First Time Tobogganing
A couple short clips that go together…
Friday Fun Link – 25 Things I Hate About Facebook (Feb 20, 2009)
I did a “Seven Things You Don't Know About Me” mini-meme but I haven't succumbed to the pressure to do the full “25 Things” meme that's going around. Apparently neither has this guy…And you know a meme has jumped the shark when Time magazine is weighing in with their own snark. So there's no way […]
Happy Birthday Shea!
You don't look a day over 29 (okay, maybe one day over 29! )
Music Monday – "Numbers, letters, learn to spell/Nouns and books and show and tell" – February 16, 2009
It's Family Day here in Sask and elsewhere across Canada so I thought I'd post the following video in honour of the day. It's the video slideshow version of a photo book that we made for the grandparents at Christmas set to a nice little White Stripes song.
Kiva Update
Last May for Mother's Day I set up a Kiva account for Shea from Pace and put $100 in it. Now almost a year later, our initial loans were 75% repaid. After watching the following video we decided to immediately re-loan that money rather than waiting for it all to be paid back. Here is […]
Friday Fun Link – Watch Christopher Walken Roast A Chicken (Feb 13, 2009)
Before the Internet, I probably would not have had access to Christopher Walken's techniques for roasting a chicken. My life is better for having this knowledge…
Music Monday – "Past old crooked dykes/Through Yorkshire's green fields/We were flung into dance/As the train jigged and reeled" – February 9, 2009
If I had to pick a single song to define my time as an undergrad, it would likely be this one. The song only took on more relevance after I went to York, England in 1995 for a four-month exchange. I post it today in honour of Chris McG., one of the American exchange students […]
