Happy 52nd Anniversary to my parents! 52 isn’t a big milestone so instead of a plane right and fancy supper out like we did for their 50th a couple years ago, they spent the day seeing a specialist, playing cards with the grandkids and eating takeout Greek food. I also didn’t make a video montage […]

Friday Fun Link – The Iron Claw Trailer
This looks *really* good!
Music Monday – “Now, the sun’s coming up/I’m riding with Lady Luck/Freeway, cars and trucks/Stars beginning to fade”
Ever rediscover a song and just listen to it on repeat endlessly? Yeah, this one right now… “Ol 55” – Tom Waits
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mom’s Lifetime SUN Membership Acceptance Speech (sometime in 2013)
I was so proud of my mom getting her lifetime membership in the Sask Union of Nurses ten years ago. Great speech and you can see where I got a lot of my personal values about supporting workers and treating others with empathy and respect.
Music Monday – “So if you’re lost and on your own/You can never surrender/And if your path won’t lead you home/You can never surrender”
“Never Surrender” (cover) – Hawksley Workman
Saturday Snap – National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Words vs. Actions)
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 […]
Friday Fun Link – Visualizing Why Americans Increasingly Use Sub-Titles
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!) Bad hearing Not necessarily bad hearing […]
Insane Sub-Two Hour Marathon Run
Eliud Kipchoge’s 1:59:40 marathon run is truly insane when you break down the numbers: ??4:35 per mile pace (the record for one mile is 3:43 and he kept the pace 26x) ??OR 2:50 per KM pace (he did it 42x and each kilometre was within 2:48 to 2:52)??The average men’s marathon… pic.twitter.com/zGJ4LI6rhm — Trung Phan […]
“Killers of the Flower Moon” (Trailer)
Heard about this book after seeing a mention on a FB music group that Jason Isbell had a part in an upcoming Scorsese/DeNiro/DeCaprio film which was going to be based on the book. Picked it up and it was a pretty good read, not least because it’s set in Oklahoma but talks about a lot […]
