Random Sunday afternoon YouTube algorithm finds…both interesting and sad:
Friday Fun Link – Coronavirus Cake
Thinking about ideas for Sasha’s birthday…
The Roud Folk Song Index
Doing some quick research about yesterday’s post led to me to discover the Roud Folk Song Index which I don’t think I’d heard of before but which reminds me once again (as if I need reminding!), why librarians and archivists are so vital to society (and also interesting, witty and funny!): The Roud Folk Song […]
Friday Fun Link – “Unfinished Business”
The floundering Flames shocked the hockey world by firing their coach late Thursday night (after a victory even!) and announcing that former coach, Darryl Sutter, who led them to the game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2004 before coming up short, would be retaking the reins of the team. That run was when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)
In hindsight, letting a 10-year old parkour addict jump off the snow-covered garageĀ into a big pile of snow was probably not the wisest decision of my parenting career (and isn’t that usually the stuff you do when your parents aren’t watching anyhow?)
