I recently wrote about the gap that often exists between words and action. This may be the most egregious example I’ve ever seen: On the national day for truth and reconciliation we wanted to remember the last day camp buffalo bones stood. The mayor wanted to commemorate NDTR on Wednesday- this audio is from that […]
Not understanding accents. Poor sound mixing. Helps overcome noisy distractions while watching. (Ironically as I type this, Sasha is literally digging in the fridge asking if we have any yoghurt as Shea and I (try to) watch “Daisy Jones and the Six” – and yes, we have sub-titles on!)

Not a lot of blogging this summer due to holidays and other things occupying my mind. But time to start over with trying to do (mostly) daily posts (he says posting a Music Monday post on Tuesday morning!) 😉 “(Just Like) Starting Over” – John Lennon
Back from our most recent camping stretch but bittersweet as my inlaws decided to pull the pin after twenty years of seasonal camping. (This has been coming for awhile but still tough that the moment finally arrived.) So much of our week away was watching as they listed (and sold) their camper, packed up everything […]
New Beatles Video Unearthed!
Just as I predicted… (But all kidding aside, the Knights showed signs of this potential from the moment they entered the league.) Another NHL season comes to a close where memories were made, stars were born and history was etched into the books. ? pic.twitter.com/RCNAzEJ61p — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) June 14, 2023
