“Dad! There’s a Montana’s in Airdrie now! We should go for my birthday! Kids eat free on Tuesdays!” ….further proof that marketing works on children…. No need to thank me Montana’s or send me a gift certificate. No need at all:) Now it should be noted that we’re not super into the cowboy scene as a family, but we are into eating ribs. And our … Continue reading Montana’s
Our goldfish Sushi died one night. Were there tears in my home the next day? Sadly yes. I had preached a sermon and made fun of goldfish as pets (or something) about a year ago which elicited a dark response from the audience.

It was always a special moment when an apprentice received their first electrical shock. My brother went the way of education while I went into the construction world, and they are very different from each other. I have my Red Seal and Masters in the electrical trade and he teaches in a private school in Winnipeg. He might think my opening line is cruel, but … Continue reading A Shocking Experience
