Friday Fun Link – Off To Edmonton
Would love to be heading to Mexico or Cuba but instead, we’re off to Edmonton for a “hot” holiday for a week. I may or may not post through the week.
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fantasyland Hotel (February 2014)
With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014. We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…
Music Monday – “And we can still get information/Reading all about inflation/And you’re never gonna be out of reach/There’s a call-box on the beach”
Shea’s folks are in for appointments and staying at a hotel so we popped over for a swim and a visit. For some reason the song below kept running through my head (and that, in turn, bringing back fond memories of season-ending party at my hometown pool where all the lifeguards did a poolside dance […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Kauai/Maui Trip (January 2012)
A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]
Friday Fun Link – Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championships 2021
I can’t think of an event that defines America better – the introductions, the crowds, the focus on competition and over consumption (but I’m still going to tag this as “Sports”)
Saturday Snap – Made It To Midnight!
If I was taking bets on who wouldn’t make it to midnight, it’d be Shea or I before these two!
Secular Sunday – Boxing Day is Arguably The Original Secular Holiday
The origins of the day are uncertain – is it when wealthy gave their servants a box of gifts and a day off to enjoy them after a busy Christmas season? Churches placing boxes outside to collect money for the less fortunate? – but it’s pretty clear that Boxing Day has become one of society’s […]
Friday Fun Link – Shit Fireplace 2021
In keeping with how shitty this year has been, the Shit Fireplace folks have truly outdone themselves with the latest edition of this important Christmas tradition. So nice to have this streaming on the TV on Christmas Eve bringing joy and warmth to all… (And bonus, the co-creators of these videos have both worked […]
An Atheist Takes In A “Blue Christmas” Ceremony
It’s been a tough end to the year. There are some fairly major changes happening at work that will affect myself and numerous other supervisors in the new year. One of those supervisors, a friend and mentor, died unexpectedly at the start of December – quite young but also getting very close to retirement, having […]
