Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NHL Heritage Classic (October 2019)

The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)

Is Hello Fresh Worth It?

Shea and I recently decided to give Hello Fresh a try. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s one of a few competing companies that have sprung up over the past decade or so that sends pre-packed supplies for making a single meal. Many of my friends swear by meal delivery services, referring to them […]

Saturday Snap – New Glasses, Who Dis?

“I like the Beatles and I like books – do you have anything that will make me look like a cross between John Lennon and Harry Potter?” “We have just the thing, sir…”

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″) […]

FutureMe: Letters To The Future

I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future. The idea is for teachers to use it with students, grandparents with grandkids, spouses to each other or pretty much any combination you can think of. You have the option to make your letter public but […]

RIP Luke Letlow (Maybe?)

It’s an interesting question about how we should feel when someone makes bad, ill-informed choices that lead directly to their death. *Of course* every death is sad.  *But maybe* it’s not quite as sad when someone willingly makes a conscious choice to avoid even the most basic Covid precautions and then ends up dying of […]

The Covid Continuum

As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”. I’d say the range for this starts with anyone who’s absolutely minimized their outings since March – maybe only leaving the house to buy […]

A Visual Representation of 2020 for Christmas?

Sasha tested out her new Christmas makeup on me and I realised this process made a good analogy for 2020 in general… * it was unexpected, sort of weird and occasionally scary * it looks like somebody got beat up (or possibly has a communicable disease) * I had my eyes closed for most of […]
