Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 7th Birthday Sasha (August 2019)

Here’s my sunshine at the Regina Folk Fest last summer…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Crowded Concourse Before COVID (October 2016)

So weird to scroll through old pictures and see crowds of people in any of them. This was at the new Mosaic Stadium soon after it opened when they hosted a Rams game as a “test” event…

The Price of Gas Is Lower Than When I Started Working As A Gas Station in High School!

This is from Medicine Hat, Alberta, not Indian Head, Saskatchewan. But it’s absolutely insane that a litre of gas now costs *less* than when I started working at a gas station in 1989 when gas was 45.9 cents per litre  (49.9 for Supreme!) – a number imprinted on my brain the same way I still […]

Some Quick Thoughts On The End of The World

Layton Burton was one of the few who didn’t have to leave the province when the government cut the Film Tax Credit but he did have to go back to school in his 50’s and completely reinvent himself.

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!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee
