Next Year Country

Like so many Saskatchewan kids, I grew up watching the Riders. And much like the people of Saskatchewan, with the land embedded in our souls, the fortunes of the Riders over the past three decades I’ve followed the team have come to symbolize a population long accustomed to accepting whatever fates beyond our control may […]

Saturday Snap – Rider Grey Cup Shrine (of Candy)

Rider Grey Cup Shrine (of Candy), originally uploaded by headtale. Getting ready for the big game tomorrow, we’ve got our basement rec room decorated and some candies (including thirteen army figures standing in for the football players with Pace to eat one symbolic one tomorrow right before kick-off!) Shea and I keep going back and […]

Friday Fun(ny) Link – Baby’s First Word

When I was born, my parents were running a bulk fuel business in my hometown.  I was basically raised in the office of that ESSO fuel station for the first few years of my life (which explains a lot of my current brain damage and any future cancers I may acquire!) With the number of […]

“The librarian checking out a stack of books, may be for many of us, the equivalent of the first person we’ve told a secret to.”

“As Others See Us: An Author on Why She Loves Librarians“, an article from one of my favourite book/library blogs, EarlyWord.

Santa Comes Early (Just Move Your Hands)

Shea’s been wanting a Wii for a long time and it was looking like we’d get one this Christmas. But then, she came across the XBox Kinect – a motion-based gaming system where, instead of any handheld controller, your body motions are scanned by a camera/scanner combo placed somewhere near your TV and that’s how […]

Music Monday – “I’M crazy? When I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches, I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities? So how can you say I’M crazy?”

A classic from my undergrad days (originally released in 1983 and re-recorded in 1993.  I did not know that!)

Go Riders Go!

I’m nervous for the Western Final today as the Riders (who squeaked past BC last week) face off against their arch-rivals, the Calgary Stampeders. There’s lots of commentary and analysis around the web – I like RiderFans.com, the Leader Post and have enjoyed The Jurist’s take on the Riders all season long as well. Oh, […]
