Music Monday – “We’ve got real def rhythms and fresh new jams/And ya think we got egos but we’re just hams/Scott plays stickball and likes to skate/Frank is never on time he’s always…Sleeping! ‘Late!'”

I loved this song when I was in college… “I’m The Man” – Anthrax

Happy 9th Birthday Pace!

Pace had his (real) birthday last Thursday on May 19 and it’s been a crazy, fun-filled weekend since then. (Speaking of “crazy, fun-filled weekends”, Shea and I live in dread of having a kid who has his birthday on May long weekend when he gets older!) đŸ˜‰ On his actual birthday, we had a nice […]

Music Monday – “Our house had the biggest patio/Our house had all the summer shade/We had patio lanterns “

Really enjoying our back yard patio as Shea and I continue to make more and more improvements – the most recent is the addition of some lattice and and a new gate… Now we only need a theme song for our new favourite place! đŸ˜‰ “Patio Lanterns” – Kim Mitchell

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Library From Above (August 2012)

One of my favourite things about any library I’ve ever worked in – whether it was some small town library in SE Saskatchewan on the Central Branch of Regina Public Library, is having the opportunity to be in the library before it opens to the public. Magical.

A Math Puzzle That Went Viral in Japan

Some Reasons… (For My Mom)

(Terribly blurry photo but I realise that I don’t take very many photos with just my mom and also that I probably shouldn’t take selfies after drinking mojitos!) So a few years back, soon after Pace was born, I was thinking a lot about father-son relationships.  Because of that, I decided to post a list of […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Aunt Sandi’s Coming (June 2011)

Pace and Sasha are excited for Aunt Sandi to arrive for her annual visit next week. Here’s a pic of her and Pace from a few years ago…

(Belated) Music Monday – “Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact/Do not react/Shoot the messengers”

I forgot to do a Music Monday post yesterday but it worked out okay because this video showed up in my News Feed today! Most people figured a new Radiohead song/album was imminent as Radiohead, already known for very unique albums releases, had done something very unique in the past few days. In our hyper-viral attention […]

Changing Politics and Culture Through the Art of the Long Game #occupy #idlenomore #saskbookawards

So I’ve been thinking about the “Long Game” quite a bit lately. Essentially, “Playing the Long Game” refers to the idea of not just focusing on an immediate goal but also laying the groundwork for something important further in the future, even if it seems like something unattainable initially. (A similar idea is often expressed […]
