Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Paul McCartney Concert in #yqr (Aug 14, 2013)

Two years since the best concert of my life…     And of course, in this day and age, somebody appears to have uploaded the entire concert, from start to finish, to YouTube!  (If I’d know that, I could’ve saved 250 clams on my ticket!) 😉    

Music Monday – “And it don’t matter if you don’t believe/Come Sunday morning/You best be there in the front row/Like you’re supposed to”

My most played song during our recent camping trip… “Merry Go Round” – Kacey Musgraves

Five Highlights From Two Weeks of Camping

Back from nearly two weeks’ straight of camping… We spent a week up at Good Spirit Provincial Park near Yorkton, had a few days back in Regina to re-stock over the August long weekend (very strange to be driving in to Regina as an endless stream of campers were heading out!)  We then went down […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back.  Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

Google Maps Street View Player – Pike Lake to Outlook

Inspired by the first portion of our route home today – from Pike Lake Provincial Park half an hour south of Saskatoon where we spent the weekend camping on to the Outlook Regional Park where we stopped for lunch – I found a web site that allows you to “drive” between two locations using Google Street View images. […]

How Do You Make Amends For Trying To Erase A Culture

I met Tasha through friends while in University but never knew her story until now. Worth a read…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Most Canadian Library Sign (July 9, 2008)

When I worked for a regional library system, many of our libraries were located in unusual locations – many co-located with a town office, a school that had been closed, a fire hall, a laundry mat. And of course we had one that was in a hockey rink – whose main doors became the entrance […]

Saturday Snap – Goodbye Tree

We’ve had a wonderful tree in our yard (even better, in our neighbour’s yard with big branches hanging over the fence providing us shade and a place to hang a swing) since we bought this house. Unfortunately, the tree recently split and had to be taken down.  Sasha was in the yard when they cut […]

Gone Camping…

Likely no posts for most of the coming week as we’re going camping… …to the same campground where Shea was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding a couple summers ago!

Music Monday – “Uri Gagarin/Flew into the sun/The angels in heaven/Look down where he lay”

I think I posted this in a long ago Music Monday but heard it recently and felt the need to post it again. Such great memories of my undergrad exchange to England during the height of the Britpop/Cool Britannia years with a song that pretty much defines the “Britpop” sounds for me… “Angel Interceptor” – […]
