Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sasha’s Second Birthday

Hard to believe our little girl is two years old today! Here’s a video I made of the (roughly) daily photos I took of her during her first year, something I’ve continued to do although a lot more sporadically in her second year.   Mobile friendly version…

Music Monday – “They call me a troublemaker ’cause I’m finally saying “no”/I’ve been working hard and yet my pay is still so low

A highlight of my time at the Writers Guild of Alberta was getting to book Maria Dunn to speak and perform at our annual conference at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. “Troublemaker” – Maria Dunn

Friday Fun Link – Johnny Gaudreau Ultimate Highlights

Flames clinched!

Music Monday – “I’ve had enough of watching scenes/Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas/All I want is the truth now/Just gimme some truth”

“Gimme Some Truth” – John Lennon

The Raw After Wrestlemania

Sunday night was Wrestlemania, the biggest PPV show on the WWE’s annual calendar. And after lots of doubts about the lead-up, it turned out to be one of the best Wrestlemanias of all-time in many observer’s opinions. Almost as good is the Raw After Wrestlemania… Imagine your favorite dramatic TV series, say, Game of Thrones […]

Music Monday – “Well it’s all right/Even if you’re old and gray/Well, it’s all right/You still got something to say”

I always think of The Traveling Wilburys as a bit of a hidden gem that people don’t really know.  So I was pretty surprised to hear this song, which pre-dates most Internet-era music, still has nearly 10 million views on YouTube… “End of the Line” – Traveling Wilburys

Monica Lewinsky: The Price of Shame

This TED talk has been making the rounds since being posted a week ago and is approaching one million views on YouTube. It’s very interesting for Lewinsky’s observations on being at the epi-centre of our now common social media world where everyone can voice opinions on the news of the day, often reaching huge audiences, […]

Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling

As a long-time pro wrestling fan, I can’t decide if this clip is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen (those inside jokes!) or the worst (such a strange way to try to explain the appeal of wrestling.) But if you don’t want to watch the whole thing, it’s worth watching the last three minutes as […]

Music Monday – O Chips!

A visually impaired Liberian street musician named Weesay makes up a song about chips on the spot using a very unique guitar… After the video goes viral, he is given a real guitar from supporters in the US. Now there’s even an IndieGogo campaign to raise funds to fly him to the US for surgery to […]

Music Monday – “And the heart in my breast/For the girl I lov’d best/Was beating, ah, beating/How loud and fast!”

Happy St. Patrick’s Day (one day early)! Iron Brew was a Celtic band in Regina in the late 1990’s-early 2000’s.  The lead singer was the husband of one of my bosses at the Sask Publishers Group. He plays a monumental role in my musical education as the person who introduced me to Fred Eaglesmith’s music.  (I […]
