Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Tower (December 2010)
I’m not sure what’s going to topple over first – the Lego tower or Pace!
The Cult of Instant Pot
It was one of this year’s hottest Black Friday items online and the Instant Pot ™ combination pressure cooker/slow cooker, invented by a group of former Nortel engineers in Ottawa, has been compared to a cult for its fanatical following. What’s the appeal? It quickly cooks food that’s tasty, healthy and, compared to the 1970’s pressure […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Years Eve Countdown, Iberostar Varadero (December 31, 2015)
Hard to believe that just over a year ago, we were celebrating New Year’s Eve in Cuba!
Music Monday – “Tell me baby/Do you recognize me?/Well it’s been a year/It doesn’t surprise me”
As it comes to close, lots of talk about 2016 being a jinxed year – Prince & David Bowie die, Gord Downie has cancer, Brexit, Trump wins and more. There’s still a week left so who knows what else will happen but now you’ve got one of the bestselling artists of all-time (both as a […]
Friday Fun Link – A New Tradition? December 23 = Kid’s Christmas Donation Day?

Music Monday – “You’ll be doin’ all right, with your Christmas of white/But I’ll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas”
This is a fitting song for my last Melancholy Christmas Music Monday post this month – both for the sad lyrics but also how its being performed in front of and indirectly evoking Barack Obama (and heck, if you squint, even the “Christmas of white” could be a reference to Trump’s support among white working […]
Our Christmas Timeline
November 11 – Remembrance Day in Canada is Singles Day (aka 11/11) in China so we usually buy a few things direct from sites like AliExpress on what is China’s equivalent of Black Friday to get our Christmas shopping started. November 12 – Remembrance Day is over so I can officially start getting into the Christmas […]
