I recently wrote about the sad news that Spirit of the West lead singer, John Mann, has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Without being too hyperbolic, I have to say there aren’t many bands that have played as big of a role in my life as Spirit of the West – everything from the […]

Music Monday – “Now when she’s talking to you/Make sure you listen close/Cause she’s gonna teach everything you’ll ever need to know Like how to mind your manners to love and laugh and dream/And she’ll put you on the path/That’ll bring you back to me”
Shea’s lifelong friend, maid of honour, and guardian to Pace and Sasha, had her third baby last night. After having two boys, we were happy to hear that a baby girl, Abby, had joined their family – not least because we can pass along a bunch of clothes and other Sasha goodies to them! 😉 […]
Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”
This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]
Saturday Snap – Santa Tractor
Pace’s first “big” word was “tractor” and we were so impressed, we bought a Christmas yard decoration that year to commemorate the milestone he’d reached earlier that year. Now I’ve set it up for Sasha and guess which word she repeated back to us today? Yep…

Music Monday – “Come on mamma/Come on and open up your shirt/Yeah you’ve got the goods mamma/Give the little boy a squirt.”
“Rufus Is A Tit Man” – Loudon Wainwright III
Friday Fun Link – Sasha Tries Pop Rocks For the First Time
I don’t think she knows what to think…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Halloween Costume Surprise
Pace was dressing as Batman for Halloween a couple years ago. I’d thought about buying the obvious costume to surprise him but pre-made costumes are expensive these days and it felt like a lot of money to buy for a one-off surprise. At the same time, how many times to you get to be the sidekick to […]
Music Monday – Strawberry Fields Forever (Slowed 800%)
Brian Eno would be proud… “Strawberry Fields Forever” – The Beatles (slowed by 800%)
Music Monday – “Take me to church/I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies/I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife “
Saw this guy on Saturday Night Live last week and he blew me away. At first, a song called “Take Me To Church” with a refrain of “Amen, amen” throughout might seem like a typical religious song. But listen to the lyrics a little closer (or just read the excerpt from the chorus I used […]
