There’s A Lot of Bad News in Hockey These Days…

…and with horrible accusations and scandals right now involving Hockey Canada, the Oiler’s farm team’s head trainer, Tampa Bay Lightning d-man Ian Cole, the Chicago Blackhawks, and more, the attention is very warranted. (On Twitter, there was talk of this being the hockey equivalent of #MeToo – #PuckYou or #PuckToo?) At any rate, as the […]

Music Monday – “God save the queen/’Cause tourists are money/And our figurehead/Is not what she seems” (aka Decorum and The Queen’s Death)

There are lots of interesting angles to the Queen’s death – cultural, historical, sociological, religious, etc. etc. – but one that fascinates me is this notion of “decorum”… https://www.twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/1567987415704379393 There’s a parallel to gun violence in the States where politicians will quickly say “It’s not the time” to talk about gun violence…right after a mass […]

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.

Saturday Snap – Catching Up With An Old Friend

A lifelong buddy who now lives in Arizona and who we haven’t seen in years sent me a text that he was back in town for the weekend and wanted to meet for a pint. I was so excited I booked a time with him, completely forgetting that we’d also planned a family supper for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Little Roughneck (August 2011)

I suspect I’m not the only person in Saskatchewan who has a complicated relationship with the oil and gas industry. I think even people who work in the industry and/or who are pro-oil know that there are environmental impacts (though they will argue about the extent of those impacts – anywhere from “oh, it’s just […]
