Former Saskatchewan Premier and Healthcare Commission Chair, Roy Romanow celebrates Canada Day with a column in the Globe & Mail on perhaps our most cherished Canadian institution. Compared to what’s happening in the US right now where the Supreme Court had to rule on President Obama’s healthcare plan just last week to try to extend […]
Saw this meme on Facebook and thought I’d share since June 25 is halfway to Christmas and since it fits with Music Monday, why not post a Christmas song today? I’ve posted this one before but every time I listen to it, I just love it more and more. So sweet and funny and perfect. […]

Here’s a video montage I made of some of the highlights of our recent trip to Kauai and Maui:
