I’ll start by saying that my wife is an absolute smokeshow (so I know this will be the first line of my annual “First Line of My First Post of Each Month”) next December! 😉 The only time we did an all-inclusive over the Xmas holiday season was when we went to Cuba with my […]

Friday Fun Link – Biggest Global Industries By Revenue (2025)

Yes, I was inspired to look up the world’s biggest global industries after seeing a reference to the global reach of the oil & gas sector which isn’t the biggest but has the biggest impact on every other sector in the TV show, “The Landman”. Although its set in Texas and obviously a lot more […]

Tips For Interacting With People With Dementia

Here are tips about people with dementia that I just discovered…some of them I knew but some are new to me and will help me with my mom and maybe help some of you too. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? […]

Saturday Snap – Happy 54th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

The surprise birthday cake was a hit! (I’ve also been thinking a lot lately about the concept of “thoughtfulness” and how that interacts with kindness and empathy.  Might be a topic for a future Wisdom Wednesday post…)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only “Real” Blue Jays Game? (April 2006)

I can’t remember for sure but think this Blue Jays game was the first and only Blue Jays game I’ve attended in my life?  Or did I see an exhibition game in Regina once?  Hmm, 1989 so that feels very possible. At any rate, this game was during a break in my Masters program.  My […]

Secular Sunday – What Happens When An Atheist Climbs The Stations of the Cross?

I’ve basically lived near it for 50+ years. But in all my trips through the Qu’Appelle Valley, had never walked the Stations of the Cross at Lebret. Of course, being an atheist, I also had no desire to climb it for religious reasons. But perhaps I was inspired by the new Pope being named.  Or […]
