From earlier today, Pace and my dad check out the #56 highway north of Indian Head which recently collapsed due to the massive amount of rainfall we’ve had this spring and summer.
With my self-imposed “you must post daily” rule for this blog, I admit there are lots of days when I mail it in by posting a few brief lines or a single link to a different web site. But then, there are some days when I feel like I should put a bit more effort […]
Pace gives me some advice on how to treat your kids after I tell him I won’t buy him a toy. 😉  Perhaps in 20-30 years I’ll find out if he follows his own advice! Happy Father’s Day!
Four years ago, I never imagined that I’d be laying in bed tonight with my perfect, wonderful son, having this conversation: “What am I made of, daddy?” “You’re made of lots of stuff – bones and muscles and skin.” “And what else?” “Well, did you know that most people are mostly made up of water?” […]
We got back from our trip to Calgary last night but after unpacking and doing a few things around the house, I didn’t get around to posting. But I’ve decide to backdate this post on Tuesday to yesterday so I can do a Music Monday post as it connects pretty directly to our trip. We’d […]
Apparently I don’t have any pictures of me with my mom on my computer. So instead, here’s one of Pace and his Grandma when we stopped by the Indian Head Union Hospital on our way out of town during a recent visit to Grandpa and Grandma’s. Technically, my mom “retired” from nursing a few years […]
With the amount of moisture we’ve had for the past couple winters and last summer as well, much of Saskatchewan is experiencing the worst flooding we’ve had in forty years. Katepwa Lake, north of Indian Head, where our family has a cottage is no exception. Last weekend, Shea, Pace and I were out to do […]
This clip is pretty cool for all manner of reasons – amazing technology, cutting-edge video editing – combine when an MIT scientist captures the first 90 000 hours of his son’s life on tape to try to understand how language develops.
Penciled in the Gold Medal Curling Game as my Sunday night’s entertainment. (I also have the PVR set to record “60 Minutes” every week though, in defense of my youth, I haven’t watched a single episode yet!) Spent time before the curling started getting my sump pump up and running. Spent last night playing a […]
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who got inspired by Dwain Lingenfelter talking about his father at the recent NDP convention. The NDP candidate in my area, Jaime Garcia, writes about the inspiration his own father has been to him. Since the federal election’s been called, there have been lots of people grumbling that it’s a […]
