There’s a non-zero chance that my enamel pin addiction is related to a mental illness. 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Absolute Most Favourite Picture of My Mother (October 2007)

Pace was only a few months old when we took him to a long-term service award presentation – I think this was 35 years for my mom?

Wisdom Wednesday – Let’s Stop Calling It Burnout and Start Calling It What It Really Is

@hendycreek

Burn out is really just your body and mind catching up with the fact that the world has been expecting too much of you because late stage capitalism has ingrained in us the need to constantly be working – both professionally and personally. #burnout #capitalism

Charlie Angus Doesn’t Hold Back His Feelings About Trump

I think my vote for Jagmeet Singh as NDP Leader in 2017 was the right one for that moment.

But this is a new moment, nearly a decade later, and I often wonder what a world where Charlie Angus was currently the NDP leader would look like…

Canadian MP Charlie Angus deliverers a direct message to Donald Trump before the inauguration.

He starts out by saying you’re a disgrace as a human being! and it only gets better from there.

Why doesn’t the US Senate have the balls to say what the Canadian parliament is saying? pic.twitter.com/JbPIX3VWNb

Friday Fun Link – “Better Man” Trailer

A very unique take on the musician biopic featuring a massive star from the UK that Shea and I both really like (I was in England in 1995 when his boy band, Take That was big and still remember the girls swooning over bad boy Robbie.) so very excited to see the new movie about his life and career…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Grandma, My Mom and My Daughter (June 2022, July 2000)

Lots can change in two short years or in twenty…

I didn’t really have to change the inscription in the coffee table book of prairie photos I gave my Grandma Hammond when she moved into the Golden Prairie Nursing Home in Indian Head when my mom moved into the same facility – just had to change the date and add the names of our kids – even still safe to leave it as “Gram Ham”!
