#tbt Throwback Thursday – Summer Reading Program (July 17, 2009)

The TD Summer Reading Program is once again in full swing at libraries across Canada. Here’s a pic of Pace and I with one of the entertainers (Walden the Wizard?) I brought in when I worked at Southeast Regional Library. Pace seems a bit uncertain of this wizard’s powers! 😉

10 Years Ago Today – Remembering My Eulogy for Grandma Hammond

Feels Like A Pretty Monumental Day

Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day (One Day Early)

To my own dad and to the kid who made me a dad for the first time (Sasha would’ve been in this photo too but she was back in the campsite doing a really good job of staying away from the water!)
