One Month Until Christmas

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. So we’ve always enjoyed our tree but also always found it quite big. Last year, we bought […]

Saturday Snap – Is This How One Creates An Activist?

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 […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hotel Riu Cancun (March 2004)

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 […]

Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

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 […]

Music Monday – “There’s room at the top they are telling you still/But first you must learn how to smile as you kill/If you want to be like the folks on the hill.”

Being told I have a “Working Class Heart” is definitely up there with some of the best compliments I’ve ever received. And if it evokes John Lennon, I’ll take it! “Working Class Hero” – John Lennon
