Sappy Sunday – “Take advantage of your day, take advantage of the fact that your kids are young and affectionate and playful and take advantage of the fact you can do these things, take advantage of the opportunity every day to be physical, to work, to do anything.”

Diagnosed with ALS in June 2019 and given six months to live, Calgary Flames Assistant GM, Chris Snow, is still alive three years later. He has even been able to keep working (kudos to the Flames for this!) and turn his bad situation into an opportunity to raise hundreds of thousands for ALS research. His […]

My Daughter, The Future Comedian?

She stumbled upon this video on YouTube a couple weeks ago, actually *wrote* out the joke before memorizing it then recited it word-for-word to me, her mom, her brother and anyone else who would listen!

Music Monday – “And night after night we stay out drinking under the streetlights/It’s forty below oh but I don’t mind cause you’re right there to hold me tight/Cause I’m drinking in Edmonton with you/I’m drinking in Edmonton with you”

Friday Fun Link – Off To Edmonton

Would love to be heading to Mexico or Cuba but instead, we’re off to Edmonton for a “hot” holiday for a week. I may or may not post through the week.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Premier Scott Moe Declares A State of Emergency (March 2020)

Now that Saskatchewan is in the midst of being one of the first provinces to remove basically all Covid-19 restrictions, stopping reporting Covid-19 stats except on a weekly basis and just generally pretending the pandemic is over because…reasons, I thought it’d be a nice bookend to revisit that initial press conference where Premier Moe first […]

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea! Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

The Stuff of Nightmares!

So, one of my recurring dreams is that I’m swimming across the Atlantic Ocean (yeah, I know) and I’m up on the surface of the water but it’s perfectly clear so I can see a massive amount of fish, sharks, whales and all sorts of other aquatic creatures below me. When the dream recurs, it’s […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)

A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young
