Karaoke by the Gas Pump Light, courtesy of Jay Leno.
OK. I’m a child of the fifties, but I grew up through the sixties, seventies and eighties, finally getting married on the cusp of the nineties, but I’ve never been one to enjoy karaoke. All of my musical icons are from the sixties (the Beatles), seventies (Led Zeppelin), eighties (Eurythmics),… Continue reading
You can catch more frogs with marshmallows than with nets…
In about 1997, just after transferring to CFB Trenton, Ontario, we went to visit family in Havelock and stayed in a cabin (translation: shack) on our family waterfront (translation: swamp) property.
The kids adored the place and we all spent a lot of time fishing, boating, exploring and enjoying evening… Continue reading
Please, let Toronto Blue Jay pitcher, J A Happ be alright!?
UPDATE!
J A Happ has been released from the hospital and despite bruises and a cut to his ear, he’s in good shape. Great to hear!
This afternoon my poor old heart fell into my stomach as I watched the nasty hit to the head Toronto Blue Jay pitcher J… Continue reading
Our wild BC salmon need protection.
Here’s another notification I recently received from Change.org. This one is very near and dear to my heart because I live in British Columbia, Canada. This is one of the best salmon fishing areas in the world – or at least it was until overfishing depleted our stocks so drastically.… Continue reading
RONA’s “Spring Savings Event” Commercial is ‘Naturally’ Funny!
During the Olympics in England, we were seeing a lot of the RONA ‘Cross-Country Race‘ commercial – which I loved. Going by the amount of traffic this post drew, it was well loved by numerous others as well.
RONA just released their new “Spring Savings Event” commercial and… Continue reading
Psy does it ‘Gentleman’ style.
Love this!
I loved his first video ‘Gangnam Style’ as well.
There’s nothing deep or thought provoking about either of these videos. They’re just good, laugh out loud FUN!
I, for one, love the moments when I can just be silly or watch someone else be silly and get a… Continue reading
Anne Frank a Belieber? Justin Bieber is Un-Beliebable!
Over the past few weeks, there has been increasingly negative, rather offensive media coverage of Justin Bieber. Although it shows him in a distinctly negative light, I couldn’t help wondering how much of this coverage was being engineered by his public relations team. After all, he is 19, which is… Continue reading
Shark steals kayaking fisherman’s tuna off Hawaii.
This is video footage that fishers, canoers and kayakers absolutely should see! I have a strong feeling it will make them think twice (or maybe three times) before venturing into waters where sharks are known to travel.
I’m sure this gent is very glad the shark was after his catch… Continue reading
Toronto Blue Jays: Thanks to them, baseball is now my favorite sport.
My interest in NHL hockey has waned considerably over the past several months. There’s just something about watching a bunch of spoiled, multi-million dollar players and owners fighting over the almighty dollar that causes resentment to build. Perhaps it’s because we’re struggling financially due to my being on disability, or… Continue reading
Mamma Mia! Abba’s music spans the generations.
When ABBA was first starting out, do you think they would have expected that their music would become the phenomenon it did – especially in North America?
I was first exposed to ABBA by a family friend when I was about fourteen, and I was hooked.
Although some might consider… Continue reading
