Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – This One Time, In Scotland…

I know I just posted some old pictures in a post about the Scottish referendum but since the actual referendum is today AND it’s Throwback Thursday, I realise I should’ve held off on that post until today. So , even though you just saw them, here they are again along with a bit more of the […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day (One Day Early)

To my own dad and to the kid who made me a dad for the first time (Sasha would’ve been in this photo too but she was back in the campsite doing a really good job of staying away from the water!)

#tbt Throwback Thursday – Shea and Jason at West Edmonton Mall in August 2000

In my never-ending quest to have a theme for each day of the week that eliminates the need to put actual thought into my daily blog posts, I’m going to try out the Throwback Thursday theme that’s so popular on Twitter and Facebook these days. And as an extra bonus, I don’t even have to […]

My Suggestion for A Better Way to Make Sure A #yxe Father Is Close To His Ill Son #yqr #saskatchewan

Looks like WestJet’s trying to repeat their successful Christmas viral video with another one that will pull your heartstrings for Father’s Day (plus to help make the video go viral, they’ve offered additional flights to Ronald McDonald families for every 100,000 views the clip gets up to a maximum of 500,000.) Of course, this is very generous of […]

Music Monday – “Begosh and begorra/Ev’ry Irish son and daughter/Ev’ry good old Irish name and his relation”

Thanks to community radio for bringing this song to my awareness a couple days ago. Useless trivia: the song doesn’t mention “Murphy” in the long list of Irish names it features even though “Murphy” is the most common surname in Ireland. Happy St. Paddy’s everyone! “It’s A Great Day For The Irish” – Judy Garland
