Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Gone Camping (July 2020)

Blogging will be very limited for the next few weeks as I focus on the important things in life such as reading, walking the dog, barbecuing hot dogs and other such pursuits.

Saturday Snap – Farewell to Aunt Sandi

My mom’s sister has returned to Regina from Kelowna to stay with us for a month every spring pretty much every year since Pace was born.  But since mom was diagnosed with dementia, these visits have become a lot more meaningful.

Saturday Snap – Grad Party

Got to attend Shea’s nephew’s grad party on Saturday after work for some delicious potluck, catching up with various family members we hadn’t seen for awhile, and even got a kiss from the grad during photos!

Wisdom Wednesday – Desperate People Make Ideal Workers

It’s an absolute sickness of our society that so many owners and managers make their employees desperate by giving casual or part-time hours (but expecting total availability), no or limited benefits, and giving no consideration to factors beyond the workplace – childcare concerns, vehicle availability, even the impact of sudden unexpected expenses – in how […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 80th Birthday Dad!

Wisdom Wednesday – UBI Would Eliminate The First Two Levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

In a world that measures success by the relentless pursuit of MORE, it strikes me as odd for anyone to assume that everyone would suddenly stop striving for MORE simply because they were guaranteed ENOUGH to not go hungry or homeless.

Saturday Snap – I’m Rich! (Well, technically my mom is!) ;-)

I didn’t put a nickel of my own money during our week in Vegas but did a bit on behalf of a friend (lost at both slots and roulette) and won a whopping $4.75 at the airport on $20 my mom wanted me to gamble for her. This “big win” was just as I was […]
