Friday Fun Link – LetterKenny Season Two Trailer

Though I never watched the show, I saw a trailer for Season One and thought it was hilarious. The trailer for Season Two is equally good…

First Snow of the Year – Hawksley Workman

We had one brief hit a few weeks ago that went away but otherwise, November 29 is a pretty good day for posting this traditional blog post to commemorate the first snow of the year (the first that looks like it’s going to stick around anyhow)…  

Music Monday – “Little sister brought her new boyfriend/He was a Mexican/We didn’t know what to think of him until he sang/Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad”

Still a couple days until it’s officially December but what the hey – time for some Christmas music! “Merry Christmas from the Family” – Robert Earl Keene

Why Trump Will Smash Hillary (May 2016 video)

I had this bookmarked a long time ago but never got around to watching it.  But it’s very prescient knowing what we know now…

17 Most Insane Urban Climbs

Pace and I watched this last night.  He thought it was awesome and I nearly vomited.

Music Monday – “From the Monogaleh valley/To the Mesabi iron range/To the coal mines of Appalachia/The story’s always the same/Seven-hundred tons of metal a day/Now sir you tell me the world’s changed/Once I made you rich enough/Rich enough to forget my name”

Still recovering from the US Election results, I ended up listening to Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” album this morning which seemed like a good fit with what happened in the Rust Belt last week (tellingly, in the New York Times story in that last link, the man who inspired the Springsteen song I’m posting […]

Need A Break From Non-Stop US Election Coverage? Watch #undecided on Netflix

With only a couple days left, if you want a nice break from the non-stop US election coverage, why not check out “Undecided: The Movie” on Netflix? This hilarious mockumentary follows two “undecided voters” as they interact with various candidates and try to decide who to support. Shot with the actual US election campaign as […]

Chicago Cubs Win World Series!

I don’t follow baseball as closely as I used to but I always love sports stories like this – the Chicago Cubs, perennial losers who may have been cursed, finally won the World Series after 108 years in a very exciting game that went to extra innings (or so I hear – I didn’t watch […]

Tonight, You Belong To Me – The Cutest Video on the Internet?

Did I ever post this before?  So much cuteness – the dad singing with his daughter to keep her from being scared of fireworks, the daughter keeping thinking she hears them, her ragtime voice at the end, how the dad ducks behind her as the song ends so the camera focuses purely on his daughter […]

Music Monday – “Darkness falls across the land/The midnight hour is close at hand/Creatures crawl in search of blood/To terrorize your neighbourhood”

When this video debuted in 1983, I was ten years old.  I stayed up late on a Friday night to watch it with my Aunt Sandi on Good Rockin’ Tonight (which has a strange Regina connection.) I think I made it through about two minutes before I started crapping my pants and hiding my head […]
