We’re having our yard landscaped next week so, if I’m lucky, this might be a photo of the last time I cut grass in my life! (Also, funny coincidence – the kid’s climbing structure ended up going to…our former neighbours at our last house who saw the listing on Facebook and reached out. If I’d […]
So much of what we’re taught to believe from our earliest days, by our parents, by our schools, by popular culture, is outdated, incorrect and potentially even harmful such as the notion of “professionalism“.
Fascinating article about changes in the way people sleep and why. (As usual, capitalism and the rich are to blame.) Good sleep is a human right, dammit!
As with cancer drugs and other research breakthroughs that sound promising, there are lots of times that exciting results come to nothing. But it still boggles my mind at how amazing science is to make those advances in the first place. My grandma was never diagnosed with Alzheimer’s/dementia but had many signs of it near […]
Bought Charlie a fifty foot leash and it’s a great way to take advantage of the huge green space behind our house and let him basically be “off-leash” without actually being off-leash (now if we could convince the various other dog owners that use the space that it’s not actually an off-leash park, that would […]
This is how I want to go out too… …but maybe with some Motley Crue?
Pace in early October… (Shockingly?) Shea and I didn’t test positive until December…though having a teen who pretty much self-isolates 99% of the time anyhow did help keep the rest of us safe when Pace was the first positive in the family.) And even though she ended up getting the PCR test twice in the […]

Here’s a sample of some of our Charlie-related searches: “How long do puppies sleep at night?” “Can dogs eat strawberries/celery/tomatoes/raw meat/noodles/potato chips/jalapenos/rice/pancakes/potatoes, etc. etc.” “Why do dogs like to eat Kleenex?” “What is a natural laxative for dogs?” “Do dogs […]
Went to the Regina Pats’ final home game of the regular season last night: Thanks to @TaigaBP for donating their Concourse level tickets to a silent auction fundraiser for @CarmichaelOR. Very excited to see @connorbedard97’s final regular season game for @WHLPats!#yqr#RhymesWithNumberOne(Overall) pic.twitter.com/2hm3PndNAk — Jason Hammond (@headtale) March 26, 2023 Connor Bedard gets the bulk of […]
…there are signs that, for myself personally, it’s in a different phase compared to the heights of masking/social distancing/rapid testing that have been much of my (and society’s) approach for the past three years. * I mostly mask when in crowds and/or as a sign of respect and understanding if I’m interacting with someone who’s […]
