Saturday Snap – Staycation

Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!

[Spoilers] The Entire Emperor Palpatine Story

The entire Star Wars universe can be pretty confusing, especially when there are years if not decades between films. Seeing the arc of a single character through the whole series does a good job of explaining different moments and motivations…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A List of Projects (Dec 2004-Dec 2019)

I’ve made reference in past posts to some of the upgrades and renovations we’ve done at our house over the past 15 years (and when I say “we”, I’m seriously indebted to Shea’s parents and my parents who helped many of these projects happen saving us *thousands* in labour costs if we’d had to hire […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Couches (March 2010)

Shea and I still have the cheap couches we bought at The Brick nearly a decade ago.  They’re now ripped, stained and worn so we decided to take advantage of the Retirement Sale at local furniture institution, Alford’s, to buy some new furniture. It won’t arrive until early December and we’re excited to (finally) get […]

“OK Boomer” Meets Public Enemy

“Ok boomer” has become Generation Z’s endlessly repeated retort to the problem of older people who just don’t get it, a rallying cry for millions of fed up kids. Teenagers use it to reply to cringey YouTube videos, Donald Trump tweets, and basically any person over 30 who says something condescending about young people — […]
