Head Tale

Shea and I were looking for something to get us out of the house after a couple of weeks staying mostly inside due to cold weather, holidays and illness.  I was blanking on something to do until I remembered that today was RPL's 100th Anniversary celebration wrap-up after a year's worth of various celebrations and projects. 

So we went over to one of our nearest branches (we're roughly halfway between two) and enjoyed cupcakes, popcorn, visiting with staff – both those who were working and who were popping by to check things out like we were, a clown show, a visit from Sask Roughriders' mascot, Gainer the Gopher, a sleigh ride in -30 weather (but almost no wind so not nearly as cold as you would think.) 

One funny moment – one of the media personnel who was there came up to me and goes “I remember you from last summer – I interviewed you somewhere and you gave me a great quote.  Do you remember that?” 

Turns out I do – it was at the Regina Folk Fest when I got cornered in the food area as he was looking for some sound bites and after a couple extremely lameo attempts at saying something witty – “I come to folk fest for the food”, “You always find a new band to enjoy”- I came out with “If everyday could be like Folk Fest, the world would be a better place.” 

Apparently, it was a memorable line!   (I've got it taped on VHS somewhere around here I think.  If I get a chance sometime, I'll try to figure out how to convert it to digital and throw it on YouTube.  Which means I'll probably just play the tape on the VCR and point my digital camera at it.)
