Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Sodas (December 2011)

Saturday Snap – Spud Drug Deal?

My coworker hooked me up with a guy selling discounted 50lb bags of oversized and misshapen potatoes (who, of course, turns out to be a regular at my library.) At any rate, pulling up at his house, I felt like I was getting in the middle of a shady drug deal – cars lining up, […]

Saturday Snap – Covid 19 Supper Club Returns To The Real World

There’s a small group of people I graduated high school with who live in Regina that we started going out for supper with a few times a year maybe 4-5 years ago? We had our last in-person supper before Covid hit at a local brewpub in February 2020 and though we transitioned to a private […]

Friday Fun Link – “Drinks in Calgary” Decision Tree

I could’ve used this when we lived in Calgary but honestly, this is all I needed to know: 1. Hop N Brew (right next door to where my office was – dangerous!) 2. Drum & Monkey (also down the street from my office – sat there for like ten hours from noon on to hold […]

Saturday Snap – Sticky Situation

How does this happen? Well, one bottle is our home bottle, one was brought back from the lake at the end of summer and is still not used up and one was accidentally opened by a kid who doesn’t look very hard to see if there are any other open bottles anywhere!

Saturday Snap – A Pretty “Big” Milestone

Considering all he does is eat and sleep, it’s not surprising.  But still a bit shocking to see our teenager is suddenly taller than his mom – feels like he grew three inches in the last month! He has three tall grandparents and one shorter one – Shea’s average height and I’m relatively tall (6’2″) […]

Friday Fun Link – The Undertaker Eats Spicy Wings

I know I’ve highlighted the “First We Feast” web show before *including* when they had a different wrestler on. But given that Undertaker is one of the best known wrestlers of all-time, is about to retire this weekend thirty years after his first appearance at the same annual Survivor Series event, and he rarely breaks […]

I’m Not A Vegetarian But…

…sometimes there’s nothing better than a well-made vegetarian burger! 🙂

Another Reopening Milestone

Last week, Shea and I had our first sit-down restaurant meal in three months and tonight, we took the whole family for our first meal together in a restaurant (well, on a patio anyhow.)
