This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?) In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s […]
Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital. And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It […]

We’ve had a tree from Costco since we lived in Calgary twenty years ago. Buying at Costco is dangerous b/c trees that look “normal” sized in their giant warehouse are GIGANTIC when you get them into your house.

Like pretty much everyone these days, Shea and I are noticing that everything seems more expensive – gas, groceries, dining out, etc. etc. etc. If we’re feeling this way while being in a fairly good financial position with good professional jobs, good incomes and a lot of financial luck over the years in various ways […]
Yes, I was inspired to look up the world’s biggest global industries after seeing a reference to the global reach of the oil & gas sector which isn’t the biggest but has the biggest impact on every other sector in the TV show, “The Landman”. Although its set in Texas and obviously a lot more […]
Big brain super genius… BREAKING: In an insane moment, the President of the United States (who claims to have a very big brain) says "N0obody knows what magnets are." You can't make this stuff up.pic.twitter.com/noQ5fLOljg — Really American ?? (@ReallyAmerican1) November 10, 2025 The comments under that tweet are even better. Oh, and release the […]
Shea and I have rarely (never?) stayed at the same brand of hotel during our various all-inclusive trips over the years, always interested in trying new places (though we lean heavily on the Cancun/Mayan Riviera area lately compared to moving around more when we first starting going to resorts.) We stayed at a Riu during […]
I repeatedly hear people say some variation of: “You should only worry about things within your control”. I hear it at work. In politics. In the labour movement. In memes and Internet posts. As if saying it, somehow makes it true. I’m not sure if it comes out of the mental health/self-help movement. It might […]
