Just a guy on his way to curl at the granite in front of an ocean of surface parking that is empty virtually every weekend and evening and hoping adults can figure out how to share.

In the spirit of welcoming our neighbours here is a tip on speaking Saskatchewanese. Their provincial government calls lunch dinner and dinner supper.

Finally wrapped up all the estate stuff today. 18 months later for a relatively uncomplicated estate. Anyway playing solitaire with a glass of rye at the cottage. Mom would approve.

As soon as I saw this I thought of road trips with my friend Monica (craftynerdmoni - IYKYK). We must’ve listened to that first Lilith Fair album 100s of times.
Moni passed in 2016 but music still connects us.
