Every time I listen to someone talk about getting to travel somewhere for work, I get so jealous and start wishing that I could have a job that involved some travel too. Well, maybe I should have been more specific in my wishes because the universe seems to have delivered my wish. But instead of […]
Every time I complain that there’s nothing to do in Saskatoon, a day or two pops up where there’s simply way too much going on. This past weekend was no exception. Okay, I’ll admit that I got a bit lazy and didn’t really bother checking out a lot of Culture Days events but I did […]
We’ve all met people who say that they’ve travelled all over the place but when you ask them about something in their own backyard, they have no clue what you’re talking about. I always laugh at them but those who know me know that I’m being awfully hypocritical when I mock these good folks since […]
Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog. Unfortunately, I haven’t really been well enough lately to have any adventures worth writing about but I’ll admit that yes, I am indeed missing a couple here. I’ll try to catch up soon but I just had to post these couple pictures first. It’s tough to […]
In the fourth season of ‘The Simpsons’, there’s an episode called, ‘Marge and the Monorail’. At the end of the show, Marge narrates, “And that was the only folly the people of Springfield ever embarked upon. Except for the popsicle stick skyscraper. And the 50-foot magnifying glass. And that escalator to nowhere.” Each one of these ‘follies’ […]
A year ago, I got my first car! Yes, I’ve been driving for years – since I was 15 if you include the time I had my learners permit – but I finally got a car of my very own last year. Here’s the story of how it all happened. I had never wanted a […]
It’s finally started! The spring thaw is here! And wow is it ever mushy out there! The funny thing for me though is that I was already feeling a bit ‘springy’ even when it was still -30C out there. As soon as the days begin getting noticeably longer, it’s hard not to start thinking about […]
Yesterday, I headed back out to Pike Lake with a friend to do a little snowshoeing. Unfortunately, with the weather having melted quite a bit of snow lately, there wasn’t much of the white stuff on the trail to snowshoe on. But that didn’t stop us from hiking the trail anyway. Nor did it prevent […]
Last winter, I wrote a few posts about my snowshoeing adventures. This year though, my health hasn’t exactly been at it’s peak and continues to be a little iffy. However, I did attempt a little snowshoeing this season so far. The first attempt was on November 18th. I had just recovered from a terrible cold […]
I can’t believe that I’ve neglected to post this since it was such a big event! But better late than never, right?! On December 7th, 2013, the Toon Town Big Band took the stage at Saskatoon’s own jazz club, The Bassment for an amazing night of music. I’ve been lucky enough to play with this […]
