Friday Fun Link – Combat Juggling

This is pretty crazy…

Kids React To The Beatles

I am pleasantly surprised at the majority of the reactions these kids have to clips of the Beatles at various points in their history…

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, […]

Friday Fun Link – Daddy and Baby Dubsmashing

A stay-at-home dad used a popular app to send his wife videos about how things were going at home. Here’s a mash-up of the results…

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 […]

The Moral Bucket List: Resume Values vs. Eulogy Values

ABOUT once a month I run across a person who radiates an inner light. These people can be in any walk of life. They seem deeply good. They listen well. They make you feel funny and valued. You often catch them looking after other people and as they do so their laugh is musical and […]

But since these two yahoos are from the US, they’re technically not my opponents and I’m free to highlight their stupidity freely. 😉 In all seriousness, Sarah Palin’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump was mystifying. But is there method to her madness?  Is […]

Music Monday – “When your day is long/And the night, the night is yours alone/When you’re sure you’ve had enough/Of this life, well hang on”

Today is “Blue Monday”, allegedly the saddest day of the year due to a mix of distance from Christmas, weather and credit cards coming due (although it’s actually just a random day picked to help sell winter vacations.) I thought about posting “Blue Monday” by New Order but that song actually makes me quite happy. So this is […]

“This Is Awesome!” – 2015’s Best Wrestling Moves

Music Monday – “Look up here/I’m in Heaven”

“Lazarus” – David Bowie David Bowie, one of the most influential, durable and creative musicians of the past half century, died today.  He released his final album only a couple days ago on his 69th birthday then passed away after living with cancer for 18 months. One of the songs on his new album, “Lazarus” […]
