Wisdom Wednesday – Rebuilding The Working Class
Saw the story I’ve copied below online and it made me think of the current Federal NDP Leadership Race where this is a major topic of conversation.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Year’s Eve in Cuba (Dec 2015)
I’ll start by saying that my wife is an absolute smokeshow (so I know this will be the first line of my annual “First Line of My First Post of Each Month”) next December! 😉 The only time we did an all-inclusive over the Xmas holiday season was when we went to Cuba with my […]

In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not
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 […]
Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party
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 […]
