Perhaps my favourite thing about the major Christian holidays is it spurs atheists and other non-believers to great heights of humour…
I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]
Since I chose swimming with turtles on Anini Beach on the north shore of Kauai as the highlight of 2012 for me (see question #40), I thought I’d mark the one year anniversary of our departure on that trip with a video of that memorable moment…

The Centre of the Arts is running a “12 Tickets of Christmas” series on FB for free concert tickets each day. The other day they asked people to submit the location of the best Christmas lights they’d seen in Regina to enter that day’s draw. Later that day, I also came across this on Twitter – […]
Pace had his first Christmas concert (actually “concerts” – see #5 below) today. That got me thinking about the ways they’ve changed since I was a kid. [Edit: Someone pointed out many of the differences are as much about rural vs. urban approaches as generational which is probably true.] First off, when I was a […]
A few shots from the past week… Pace and I made Lego tree ornaments… Relaxing with mommy and the baby… New shelving arrives for the Outreach Unit… Playing musical chairs at Philippine-Canadian Friends & Family Holiday Party… Spot Trent Wotherspoon’s critical error in latest mail out (Hint: top right of envelope!) 😉 We see this […]
