The Honourable Don Morgan QC has said that combining public libraries and school libraries could be part of the solution to the drastic funding cuts imposed on Saskatchewan public libraries in the recent budget. But Mr. Morgan must know that, just as all lawyers are not the same, all libraries are also not the […]
It’s still pending approval on Trip Advisor but I thought I might as well post my review of Sandos Caracol Eco-Resort, the all-inclusive we just stayed at here as well (with bonus photos, external links, and a few other edits/additions)… [Edit: This might not end up being my Trip Advisor review after all.

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? I thought it would happen when I turned 40 but I think it took me a few extra years to finally accept that I am now officially middle-aged. Why? This year I had a very special operation to ensure Pace and Sasha are […]
I love how randomly collecting the first lines of my first post of every month ends up giving a pretty good overview of what was happening in my life and the wider world over the past 12 months. Here’s 2016… January – “Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck […]
