Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]
After last week’s post thinking back to the last time I think I traveled to the US, I thought it’d be fun to also highlight what was probably my favourite US trip ever for another “Throwback Thursday” post. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved traveling and growing up, I got to travel […]
With the Canada-US border closed for the foreseeable future, I was trying to figure out the last time I went to the States. For awhile there in the early 2010’s, I’d say we ended up going about once or twice a year, either to Williston which is just over the border or Minot, which is […]
Before we go away on any extended holiday, I usually post some sort of “Gone Camping/Gone Beaching” message to let people know I probably won’t be posting much. This time, I completely forgot to do that but I suspect any regular reader of this blog figured that’s probably what’s up if/when I drop off the […]

I know I’ve posted this before, possibly on a previous Canada Day, but Mike Plume just posted an updated version so here it is again…
I did a list like this about a month ago and so I thought I’d do another one as I’m now a few days into my *fourth* month of quarantine to see what’s front of mind these days… 1. Public libraries *finally* have a date for permitted opening which will be Phase Four Stage Two […]
Nice to enjoy the day with my father and my son (who is modeling the robe I got as a Father’s Day gift)…
It’s obviously *very* different for myself as a middle-class white kid who grew up in a small town on the Canadian prairies compared to what’s happening to black people of all ages over and over again in cities across the US. But I had one particular experience in high school that showed me how easy […]
Happy Mother’s Day to the best wife I’ve ever had… I don’t know how you put up with me (er, yes I do!)
