Music Monday – “Oh I’m/Staying home this Christmas/For friends and for strangers/And for family”
“Staying Home This Christmas” – Dillon Currie
Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman
Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]
Happy Cha-Noo-Kah!
For a small fee, Cameo is a site that allows people to book celebrities to record short personalized messages for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Cameo blew up during quarantine as people weren’t able to celebrate milestones in the usual way. This one of Smokey Robinson recording a message for someone has gone viral for being both […]
Music Monday – “But that world is gone/It’s all disappeared/It’s just me and the ponies/For Christmas this year”

Even though she’s figured out that the elf doesn’t move on its own (I […]
One Crazy Unintended Consequence of Covid?
It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet! We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we […]
