Music Monday – “Man, I can’t, I shan’t, formulate an anthem, where the words comprise mnemonics”

Happy (extra special) Pi Day (3/14)! It probably shouldn’t surprise me how many nerdy “Pi” songs there are on YouTube. Here’s one of the most clever I found…

Friday Fun Link – Inside Out (Without the “Inside” Parts)

Recent Academy Award “Best Animated Feature” winner, Pixar’s “Inside Out” was one of the best movies released last year.  Part of the appeal was how it used cartoonish illustrations to show the interplay of emotions within a person’s head. But what happens if you take away the “inside” parts?  You still end up with a pretty […]

Music Monday – “Some other way/There’s got to be another way/We all are scientists who will not be afraid/I’m not saying that there’s no hope for this/And you have tried to change my mind But we all know, our system’s broken/And I, I’ll never vote again”

I’ve had this blog since 2006 but perhaps surprisingly, I’ve never really acknowledged Leap Years even though I’ve been blogging for two of them in 2008 and 2012. So let’s continue that trend by ignoring February 29, 2016 completely in favour of a song inspired by tomorrow’s Super Tuesday vote in the United States… “Vote” […]

Music Monday – “You can get yourself clean/You can have a good meal/You can do whatever you feel…”

Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]

Music Monday – “Spread your tiny wings and fly away/And take the snow back with you/Where it came from on that day/The one I love forever is untrue/And if I could you know that I would/Fly away with you”

It’s weird the things you remember from your childhood. I’ve already written about a grade two teacher I had who was the nicest teacher I ever had (which makes it even more surprising and sad that she committed suicide later in life after she’d retired.) I have no idea if teachers in other communities did […]
