Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Thanks to one handy website (the TL;WR weekly Waterloo Region events guide), I’ve just discovered another handy website, kw concerts.ca. There’s a lot of music around here, happening in places big and small. This is one person’s attempt to gather up as much of it as possible in one place so that it’s easy to …

I suppose it maybe isn’t that much of a stretch to think of the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” as a country song, but apparently when you really lean into that style it works rather well. This is Logan Ledger, who as often happens with these covers I had never heard of until right this moment. According …
I need to put this in your head, because it’s in mine. And I’m not even that big of a Star Wars fan. But somehow, I never noticed that the Indiana Jones theme slid into Star Wars too. For some reason, when I’m trying to get somewhere, and the route is tricky, I get the …

I am a fan of neither Star Wars nor Katy Perry, but I certainly enjoyed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ6zf-n1nZ0
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
