An Annual Tradition On This Blog Somewhere Around This Time of Year

Well, definitely last year anyhow and I think back in 2006 too from the look of things.  I'm sure I did this in 2007 too but the post wasn't tagged, keyworded or referred to in any identifiable way.  (Uhm, NP: “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman by the way.)

What Not To Do On A First Date…

Reddit (nice redesign by the way!) had a post about the 15th anniversary of  “True Romance“, a film that bombed in its initial theatrical release but has gone on to be a cult-classic due to a classic Quentin Tarantino script, a star-studded line-up (Brad Pitt does more with a quickie cameo than any actor in […]

9/11 Five Years Later

Woke up at 8am today to watch the real-time video stream of CNN's coverage from five years ago that they're showing all day today.
Here's my own real-time coverage, a chat I had that morning with the person who took over from me at the Sask Publishers Group

Music Monday – “I never really knew that she could dance like this/She makes a man wants to speak Spanish/Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa (sí, sí)”

What first snow of the year? “Hips Don’t Lie” – Shakira

An Analysis of My YouTube Channel

I’ve been uploading videos to YouTube since 2006.   This was the year we got our first digital camera.  It was also the year when I was doing my Masters degree so I was very interested in all kinds of online services including online broadcasting.  We were also living far from home so it was […]

Good Samaritan Library Student Freezes To Death, Wife in Mourning (But Happy To Take Over Blog Duties)

“Shea” here again: They found Jason frozen in a snow bank tonight along with his ever-present digital camera.  This was a photo he took just as he left the bar.  The time stamp says 2:39am but I know this is a mistake as he told me he would be home around 8pm or so.  The […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Who Could’ve Predicted Sick Time Would Increase Coming Out of a Worldwide Pandemic?!?

This may be a record as I’ve been collecting information and reading about and adding info to the ongoing draft of this blog post, for oh, over two years. I’ve been doing this, basically ever since society collectively decided that Covid was over and that we’d all stop masking, stop most precautions, and start acting […]

Saturday Snap – Jorts!

Nothing makes the camping season official like me wearing jorts for the first time!  (This year, we even were able to get into our seasonal site one week earlier than usual due to the lack of snow over the winter and the park crew being ahead of schedule with annual maintenance – yay!)

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Saturday Snap – A Gift of Oranges

Sasha had permission to invite a friend over to watch a movie this afternoon and somehow that grew to five girls showing up today to watch movies, eat pizza, and hang out for a few hours. (We approved this but also chuckled at how it snowballed!) We’ve been (mostly) careful through all of Covid but […]
