Here’s an article about how many pundits and insiders predicted definitely that there was no way that Donald Trump could win even one state, become the front runner, outlast establishment candidates like Jeb Bush and John Kasich, defeat all other candidates to become the nominee, become the President of the United States? One of my […]
So I’ve been thinking about the “Long Game” quite a bit lately. Essentially, “Playing the Long Game” refers to the idea of not just focusing on an immediate goal but also laying the groundwork for something important further in the future, even if it seems like something unattainable initially. (A similar idea is often expressed […]
I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]
Prince was against his music being available on most streaming services (except artist-friendly Tidal) and even YouTube so it’s hard to find clips to help celebrate the man and his music after his untimely passing yesterday. Still, there are spots where some clips exist online – none more historic than his first-ever live performance of […]
So today was a pretty big day in the United States as born and raised Brooklyn boy, Bernie Sanders went up against adopted hometown gal, Hillary Clinton in the New York primary in their ongoing battle to secure the Democratic Party nomination.

So congrats to Premier Brad Wall for his third majority victory […]
(I have no idea what the statute-of-limitations on being known as a “Meili guy” is but since I was such a vocal supporter of Ryan during the last SK NDP leadership race, I feel obligated to mention that everything in this post in my own opinion, no former Meili team members saw or approved this […]
This site allows you to simulate the current US election, playing as either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. I’ve tried it as Donald Trump a couple times but have lost both times. It reminds me of a very similar game (can’t remember the name) that our Grade Six teacher created by manually typing out line-by-line […]
I haven’t finished the whole thing but this seems like a fairly even-handed, exhaustive look at this controversy from both Clinton and the Justice Department point-of-views.
Two legends together. Interesting fact – my montage of photos from the day Pace was born, set to a Loretta Lynn song, is my most viewed YouTube video of all-time with 36,000+ views as I type this. Shea and I were also fortunate to get to see Willie Nelson live in concert while we lived […]
