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.

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 […]

Music Monday – “Well, I’ve been selling my soul/Working all day/Overtime hours/For bullshit pay”

This song went mega-viral recently, becoming the first song to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard charts by an artist with no other previous charting songs. There was controversy about the writers’ intentions and politics, up to and including it even being played during a GOP debate! “Rich Men North of Richmond” – Oliver […]

Friday Fun Link – “Is This Real Life?”

Pace had four wisdom teeth removed early on Friday morning.  When he got home, I was reminded of this clip – one of the original viral videos of the YouTube age:

Music Monday – “It’s been too long since we took the time/No-one’s to blame/I know time flies so quickly”

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
