Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman

Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]

Happy Cha-Noo-Kah!

For a small fee, Cameo is a site that allows people to book celebrities to record short personalized messages for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Cameo blew up during quarantine as people weren’t able to celebrate milestones in the usual way.

Friday Fun Link – What Are All-Inclusives Like with Covid Protocols

Music Monday – Spike Lee’s “Do It Acapella”

Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast. Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s […]
