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 […]
Saturday Snap – Farewell Mosiac Stadium #riders #yqr #mosaicmoments #mosaicmemories
Everyone else is sharing their memories of Taylor Field today so I thought I’d share a few of mine… I have no memory of my first game but I have two aunts who’ve had season tickets since forever so as a kid, we’d occasionally be given their tickets and I’d get to go to a […]
Friday Fun Link – Car Pool Karaoke with Saskatoon’s New Mayor
Saskatoon’s just defeated mayor missed the Gay Pride parade during his thirteen years in the Mayor’s Chair (no matter his personal feelings, he obviously missed the memo about representing all citizens of his city.) Anyhow, I get the impression Saskatoon’s new mayor won’t miss the parade…
Chichen Itza Stairs
We didn’t get here when we were in the Mayan Riviera during our wedding in 2003 and I don’t know if we’ll have time during our upcoming trip this winter. But this would definitely be something to see (and I know one parkour freak in our family who would *love* to climb this steep pyramid!) […]
Music Monday – “Let me walk/Let me go with you/I see you alone/I see you alone.”
Heard this while listening to our satellite TV’s “Tropical” station. (No idea if the Google Translation of some lyrics in the title of this post is accurate or not.) “Déjame Acompañarte” – Omar Enrique & Elvis Crespo
Friday Fun Link – Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump at the Al Smith Dinner
The Al Smith Dinner is an American political institution. Since 1960, this fundraiser for underprivileged children put on by the Archdiocese of New York in memory of a former New York Governor and the first Catholic to run for President. It usually features the two Presidential candidates in a humourous, roast-style environment which is usually their last […]
