Music Monday – “L’Odyssée de la Vie”

No words for me to quote in the title of this week’s post like I usually do.  But the epic choral and instrumental music is a perfect soundtrack for this awesome video as Shea and I are down to around a month or so until our baby comes!

As we head into the first day of the Sask NDP Leadership Convention, I thought I’d post a fun article (h/t to GG) on behalf of the members of Team Meili, most of whom who are of the Y chromosome persuasion, will be sporting beards of varying degrees of length and lushness this weekend. Very […]

Conception to Birth Visualized

Other than the fact that the scientist presenting this TED talk should know better than to hint that the complexity of human evolution as being so amazing that it evokes divinity, this is a pretty cool video… (A bit more on the idea that just because something is complex, that means it must be divinely created […]

I’m not sure whether to be proud or sad that I caught the vast majority of the references in this video…  (If you prefer text links, this one has many of the same memes in the video.  And here’s a summary of the year from a Canadian perspective.)

2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme: Hawaiian Paradise, Kindergarten Kid, and “It’s (Going To Be) A Girl”

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know!

I Am (Not) Adam Lanza’s Mother

This blog post by the mother of a mentally-ill son, posted in the wake of the Connecticut shootings, was making the viral rounds.  Although I found it an interesting piece of writing with potentially some good points being made about the stigma of mental illness and the struggles of families trying to deal with it, […]
