This is just to say

I have written this blog that began in the oughties and which has gone on now for 2500 near-daily posts Forgive me the posts were delicious so sweet and so cold

Meili Monday – A Political Disclaimer #skndpldr

I usually do a “Music Monday” post at the start of the week. But since the SK NDP Leadership has just started, I thought it might be fun (and alliterative!) to give over a few of my Mondays in the coming weeks and months to some thoughts on the race, Ryan Meili’s campaign and other […]

Botox Blog Update

I made a reference to my blog undergoing botox treatments yesterday which was more than a bit intentional as I have indeed restored some youthful vigour to this blog.

The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

It's been a good run but after four and a half years of nearly daily posts chronicling everything from my time at library school to the birth of my son to dozens of single link posts to all manner of technology stories and silly YouTube videos,  the time has come to finally move this blog […]

Blog Holiday

As I mentioned the other day, Shea, Pace and I are on holidays for the next little bit.  And even though I have such a serious Internet addiction that I bought a wireless router on my way into Kelowna so I could have WiFi at my aunt's place (I wish I were kidding about that! […]

…then I get home and frequently forget about all of them.  Good-night Gracie! 

But Who's Counting?

I used six weeks as a time frame to create this widget but the hospital said 4-6 weeks so who knows, I might get lucky and heal fast.  (Of course, I could also trip and fall on the snow or in the bathroom or something and screw things up even worse.)  To help things along, […]

"I respect him as a blogger and a librarian, so why shouldn't I do it?"

Yikes – at least Lisa was only inspired to start a recurring Music Monday post after reading my blog instead of doing something really crazy! That does bring up some random thoughts…– I get contacted by or comments from or connect to about one new library school student (or someone contemplating going to library school) […]
