Head Tale

Music Monday – “There’s room at the top they are telling you still/But first you must learn how to smile as you kill/If you want to be like the folks on the hill.”

Being told I have a “Working Class Heart” is definitely up there with some of the best compliments I’ve ever received. And if it evokes John Lennon, I’ll take it!

“Working Class Hero” – John Lennon

Saturday Snap – Happy 54th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

The surprise birthday cake was a hit!

(I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “thoughtfulness” and how that interacts with kindness and empathy. Might be a topic for a future Wisdom Wednesday post…)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only “Real” Blue Jays Game? (April 2006)

I can’t remember for sure but think this Blue Jays game was the first and only Blue Jays game I’ve attended in my life? Or did I see an exhibition game in Regina once? Hmm, 1989 so that feels very possible.

At any rate, this game was during a break in my Masters program. My parents came to visit so we went into Toronto to sightsee a bit before going to see family in the Orangeville/Grand Valley area. But we had a rainy day so went to this game (that’s my memory anyhow – again, might be wrong on some of this) and got the cheapest tickets – $10 each or something – but ended up sitting right behind home plate, just way up high.

Pretty fun memory – especially given the Blue Jays are now in the World Series.
