…but I still can’t help but throw this small piece of twine into our junk drawer “just in case.” (My grandparents would be proud!) 😉

(Not Quite) Live Blogging The #skvotes Leader’s Debate #skpoli
A few hot takes as I watched the debate… Does Molly Thomas still live in Sask? If not, weird optics to fly in a debate moderator from out-of-province during a pandemic. Moe looks very nervous right out of the gate, not what I expected from the Premier and frontrunner. Drink! Moe says NDP has record […]
10 Thoughts on The Eve of #skpoli Debate
I haven’t been writing a lot about politics lately but wanted to note a few thoughts as the Saskatchewan provincial campaign is about halfway done and the leaders of the two main parties will have their only debate tomorrow night. There’s still a large gap but some encouraging news in a poll today that shows […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sold! (October 2019)
It feels like a lot more than a year ago that our offer on a new house was accepted. But the truth is that it was only a year ago this week that it became official. At the time, who knew this new house would become so much more than a slightly newer, slightly bigger, […]
NHL Bubble Confidential: Go Inside the Toronto and Edmonton Playoff Hubs
The most unique, memorable NHL playoffs in history are down to the last few game(s) as the Dallas Stars and Tampa Lightning battle it out for the Stanley Cup. Some players have now spent nearly three months in their respective “bubbles” with no direct contact with families, limited options for food and entertainment, and various […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My First Ever Amazon Order (August 1997)
Was digging through the depths of my computer’s hard drive and came across a pretty amazing find…the email receipt I got for my first ever order from Amazon back in summer 1997. A few things to note… not sure why but I used my work email address for the order when I’m pretty sure I […]
Music Monday – “It’s called me belligerent, it’s took me for ignorant/But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be/Could you imagine just constantly worryin’/Kickin’ and fightin’, beggin’ to breathe?”
Okay, getting to one of the top o’ mind topics mentioned in my list yesterday – a new surprise album from Tyler Childers was released the other day. It features eight instrumental fiddle tunes then a single “regular” song with lyrics calling for more kindness and understanding among citizens including many who listen to Childers […]
Saturday Snap – Sarcan Situation
I can’t remember the last time Shea and I took recycling to Sarcan but I’m pretty sure it was before Covid and possibly not since around *last* Christmas since we only take cans every few months once they build up. Of course with Sarcan having been shut down for a few months plus our somewhat […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Minot Wal-Mart (April 2012)
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
Netflix CEO Writes A Book
Some irony that the head of the world’s most successful video company would write a book but there you go. I’ve long been fascinated by how various tech companies (including Netflix) create and develop their corporate cultures and what traditional companies and organizations can learn from them. Hastings boils down Netflix’s competitive advantage over Blockbuster […]
