Whether it’s the crowd being silenced live at Rogers Place or studiously staring into their nachoes at a sports bar in the West Edmonton Mall, watching the Oilers lose while on a holiday in Edmonton feels so much better than watching from a distance. And former Flame, Mike Smith, is a huge part of the […]
Now that Saskatchewan is in the midst of being one of the first provinces to remove basically all Covid-19 restrictions, stopping reporting Covid-19 stats except on a weekly basis and just generally pretending the pandemic is over because…reasons, I thought it’d be a nice bookend to revisit that initial press conference where Premier Moe first […]
Maybe a year ago, a coworker hooked me up with a guy who sells 50 lb bags of misshapen potatoes. And of course, when I picked up the first time, it turned out he’s a library patron I knew! In fact, after chatting with him during my most recent pickup, I even ended up sending […]

This gives you this wild anecdotal taste of how widespread Covid is right now – business owners, parents, students, neighbours on each side of […]
There’s lots of coverage of the “Great Resignation” triggered by the never-ending pandemic. CNN has provided more insight about how that is especially true among older people who are choosing early retirement instead of staying in crowded workplaces or just recognizing that when they die, no one’s going to say “I wish I worked more” […]
“The Lyrics” is $75 at Costco? Holy crap! You can get like eight giant jars of dill pickles for that kind of money! 😉
Hard to believe it’s been two years since we moved into our new house – time flies but a good reminder that time is pretty meaningless in the age of Covid! 😉 “Pink Houses” – John Mellencamp
