Another “First Sign of Spring”?

A bug landed in my beer…feels like I’m camping already! 😉 (And yes, I scooped it out and kept on drinking – no tiny bug is going to make me waste a $5 craft beer!)

RIP Mick Burrs (Steven Michael Berzensky) 1940-2021

PICTURES OF THE DEAD (from “Dark Halo”) The dead leave us only images of themselves: souvenirs in washed out colours, dried petals pressed in family albums, shadows that stain our papered walls.  They abandon us in our rooms, teach us how to converse with dust, will not let us forget them. But in our glistening reeds […]

Good timing too as they just announced that Regina’s drive-thru vaccination clinic will be shut down for a couple weeks due to vaccine shortages.

Always liked this photo of a railway crossing near Creelman, SK for some reason…

Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

“Support Local” takes many forms.  With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!)   “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

Exponential Growth: A Commonsense Explanation

When something is going through exponential growth, even in the early stages, most people completely underestimate how quickly things are going to change, even when the exponential growth has been going on for quite a while. Some humans are really bad at understanding math.

  Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw

I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape.
