CTV Announces Library Themed Sitcom

I’m pretty sure every librarian (including me!) has thought “Why has no one made a TV show set in a library? Boy, people would sure be surprised that we don’t just circulate books but there are wacky staff!  Buffoonish managers!  Silly patrons!  And lots and lots of overdoses. High-larious!” Well, now we’re getting our wish.  […]

Tampa Bay Rays players refused to wear the Gay Pride logo on their uniforms this weekend — saying their religious beliefs wouldn't […]

Saturday Snap – Bubble Gum Bay?

A couple campers created an amazingly creative and colourful “bubblegum” themed design at the entrance to the Dorsch Bay area of the park.

So many thoughts and memories looking at this photo – the things my grandparents saw ranging from World Wars to Great Depressions; memories of various […]

Brian Burke Explains Controversial Carolina Goal

Unlike the Flames’ controversial “kicking motion” goal that seemed to go against numerous previous rulings in similar situations, the Colorado “off-site-that-wasn’t” *has* happened before with a similar ruling…
