Music Monday – Dogs, Dead Icons, & Halloween Classics

Delayed posting Music Monday until Tuesday due to something fairly significant I might write more about later but that has infuriated me.

Anyhow, lots of possible themes for a Music Monday post so let’s hit them all…

Got A New Dog…

Jerry Lee Lewis dies (obligatory “He was problematic to say the least and yes, the artist vs. the art is a totally different post”)…

More cowbell (especially on Halloween…)

Happy Halloween!

I’ve had this pic on my desktop since the late summer.  I’d saved it as “HalloweenPostGiantBat.jpg”.

But now that Halloween’s here, disappointed (but probably not surprised) to learn it’s a hoax (or at least an exaggeration.)

Anyhow, a good reminder about not believing everything you see online and doing the minimum of research before spreading misinformation (although I’m still going to post the pic now that I’ve done this disclaimer since I had kept it around so long, I’m not going to waste it!) 😉

Secular Sunday – Most and Least Religious Canadian Metro Areas

Very interesting graph (via Reddit)…

Saturday Snap – Introducing Our New Dog!

Charlie Echo, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Charlie is his first name and yes, the most obvious name for a King Charles Spaniel (but maybe the only name that could get four-way agreement in the family.)

Echo for a lake near where he was born.

(And if you’re going full Military Alphabet, I guess we could even call him “Charlie Echo Oscar” since I’m sure he’s going to think he’s the “CEO” of our house very quickly!)

[Picture now photoshopped and re-uploaded after my wife noticed that the reason Charlie was sitting so still was he was peeing!!!] 🙂 

Friday Fun Link – Top 10 Cutest King Charles Cavalier Puppy Videos

Got a dog today…will likely post some of our own “cute” videos eventually but until then, this montage will have to suffice!

 

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pace Meets The Neighbour’s New Dog (October 2010)

Bosses Who Mask When In The Presence of Others

This week might have to be a “Leadership” theme…

 

Leadership

Leadership, both as a research area and as a practical skill, encompasses the ability of an individual, group or organization to “lead”, influence or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations.

Music Monday – “You can’t tell me nothing/And I’ve had a lot of drama/’Nuff drama/You can’t tell me nothing/Just look in my eyes, it’s all too clear/But it don’t matter, cause I’m still here”

First heard Dizzee Rascal when I would listen to a Britpop mix on AccuRadio while working at RPL’s Central library many years ago.  Hadn’t thought of him/UK Grime music for years but recently rediscovered the album after going through some YouTube rabbit holes on the weekend…
