Banff Gondola and Sulphur Mountain Summit

It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]

Music Monday – “Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place/But the price of the whiskey is grim/How nice it would be if the whiskey was free/And the Loch was filled up to the brim”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Miss America (March 2009)

Happy (?) Fourth of July. I think I’ve mentioned that Shea’s and my “mini protest’ after Trump was elected was deciding not to go to the USA – mostly because of him but also because I just found the USA to be increasingly at odds with my personal values in general – from the gun […]
