My sporadically-recurring blog feature “Saccharine Sunday” returns with this video which is a bit over the top (especially that piano motif in the background – gag!) but has an otherwise touching message. Even though it's aimed at middle aged, empty nester, as a relatively new parent, I enjoyed it too. Sometimes seeing Pace run down […]
I was going to do my usual weekly picture of Pace being cute but this NHL highlight is worthy of a video version of the Saturday Snap, I think. Tonight, the Bruins scored an NHL record THREE short-handed goals during one powerplay. Having just read a CalgaryPuck thread about NHL records that will never be […]
Ryan Meili announced this morning that he’ll be running in Saskatoon-Sutherland in the next provincial election. Jurist has details including a bit about the fact that this field will be a big one, just like Regina-Coronation Park, with four people seeking the nomination. I thought this might be a prime opportunity to do a post […]
On AskMetaFilter, an anonymous poster who's getting married in June wants to know if he should take a month-long work-related trip to England for the month of May when his fiance isn't enthralled with the idea. To me, this is an obvious “no”. If you weigh those two things – a wedding (which *should be* […]
I'm with Louis Riel Trail – I support universal post-secondary education, not just for selected folks whose parents happened to take a very high risk job. And I've already made my feelings on the over-use of the word “hero” known on this blog. In my view, the true hero (of Tommy Douglas proportions) will be […]
[Edit: Jurist has replied to my comment on his site (which I've also posted below) to clarify that when he said Tamara had “the strongest web presence” of the Coronation Park candidates, he was referring to her “web site” presence, not her “online” presence. I guess it's semantics – when someone says “web“, I think […]
A few quick hits on my most popular topics… HockeyI really hate the Canucks and think it would be a travesty if one of the Sedin sisters won the Hart Trophy. I mean, a guy with a career average of 65 points a season gets a bunch of assists and is now one of the […]
Apparently some people don't find the term “Zombie Jesus” appropriate, especially at Easter. And they'll show you every offensive reference/graphic they can find so you know it (jus' make sure thee wummins and chillrens is out of the room before lookin'! ) [Edit: this one is good too – “Why do you celebrate Halloween then? […]

As a profession, librarians constantly struggle with the fact that we aren't exactly regarded as a “cool” profession. (Man, there are times I miss working in publishing – a life full of wine & cheese parties and awards banquets, I tell you!) Sure, librarians are trying to update their image – getting articles in the […]
