Friday Fun Link – My New Christmas Movie Tradition?

I was in the habit of watching *Love Actually” every December but last year I didn’t get to it and instead I watched this which has nothing to do with Christmas but, since I watched it right before Christmas, still managed to feel like a Christmas movie if that makes sense?

Music Monday – “Christmas Eve will find me/Where the love light gleams/I’ll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams”

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – one of the most absolutely beautiful, heart-wrenching Christmas songs of all-time. And so appropriate these days too. We’re extremely excited for our first Christmas in our new house of course. But it also comes with mixed emotions knowing that a decision we made only two […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Spirit of the West Full Concert (June 2015)

Obviously I wasn’t at this concert but I was at Spirit of the West’s Regina show around the same time (same tour?) after John Mann’s diagnosis and this is a pretty good capture of the mixed emotions of that show – joy, sadness, awe, fear.

RIP John Mann (1964-2019)

It was a long, inevitable farewell. After announcing his Early Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2014, John Mann, lead singer and frontman of the seminal 90’s Canadiana band, Spirit of the West, embarked on a farewell tour with the band in 2014. Shea and I got to see this show and it reminded me of why, […]
