After missing the last couple years for obvious reasons, an aunt who visits us from Kelowna for a few weeks every spring is here now. One of her hobbies is genealogy and related, she likes to scan and catalogue old photos. She brought a thumb drive with hundreds of old family photos which means I’ll […]
This happened on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania today pic.twitter.com/ONUUGOdtrH — ?_ Imposter_? (@Imposter_Edits) March 28, 2022 This video clip is insane (and sad – apparently five people died as a result of this multi-car pile-up in Pennsylvania when a snow squall blew in suddenly.) Growing up in Saskatchewan, I’ve had my share of scary winter […]
Sasha had her last swim class Friday night which usually means fun and games since the learning is done and the report cards are finished. Unfortunately, the instructor wasn’t able to get the water carpet hooked up properly so I leapt (crouched?) into action to hold it in place while the kids played on it… […]

Shea and I weren’t quite ready to book an out-of-country hot holiday as that leads to all sorts of other […]

With international travel still a bit uncertain (especially if you ended up having to extend your stay due to a positive test at the destination or isolate when you got home), we’ve decided to book a trip to Edmonton where we haven’t been since 2014. We leave in a week and are getting pretty excited…
First, my wife and I took our daughter to her art class where she created and learned with about ten other kids… Before her class started, we went into the centre’s art gallery to check out the latest installation. We enjoyed this show with a handful of other people who were in the gallery including […]
A co-worker recently told me she’s going to Kauai and I am incredibly jealous. Kauai might actually be the single most beautiful place I’ve been on this earth and Shea still says Anini Beach is one of her favourite beaches of all-time. Here’s a montage video I made of our trip which had eight days […]
