Music Monday – “I’m gonna hold on to every spot/It doesn’t make a difference if I use it or not/Sun is rising and folks are shocked to see/There’s no open slots”

This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts… “Towels on The Chairs” – ParoDeeJay

Music Monday – “And it’s just like the ocean under the moon/Oh, it’s the same as the emotion that I get from you/You got the kind of lovin’ that can be so smooth, yeah/Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about “

“Smooth” – Santana (featuring Rob Thomas)

Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

Nothing against Florida-Georgia Line but it’s right there in the name – no connection to Canada, let alone Saskatchewan. In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind. Using a […]

Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”

I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so… On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing […]

The Astounding Physics of N95 Masks

Funny how this video says that prior to March 2020, you’d only know about N95 masks if you were doing home renovation projects or lived in a city with high pollution which prompted Shea and I to exclaim at the same time “Or if you grew up on a farm!”

Secular Sunday – How David Copperfield Made The Statue of Liberty Disappear

This was the original illusion as broadcast… This is an explanation of how Copperfield pulled it off… Watching this, it struck me that this would make a good Secular Sunday post even if it wasn’t overtly about religion. Seeing people in the live audience say things like “If I was home watching on TV, I […]

Friday Fun Link – Charlie Echo Shows Toque Who The Boss Is

I didn’t blog this week as I ended up having an unexpected journey through our overloaded healthcare system the past few days with an ill family member. I may write more about my experience at some point (short version: healthcare system in shambles, healthcare workers are amazing!) but for now, I just want to focus […]

Music Monday – “But I know I’m on a losing streak/As I pass down by your street/And if you wanna show, then just let me know/And I’ll sing in your ear again”

There’s A Lot of Bad News in Hockey These Days…

…and with horrible accusations and scandals right now involving Hockey Canada, the Oiler’s farm team’s head trainer, Tampa Bay Lightning d-man Ian Cole, the Chicago Blackhawks, and more, the attention is very warranted. (On Twitter, there was talk of this being the hockey equivalent of #MeToo – #PuckYou or #PuckToo?) At any rate, as the […]
