Saturday Snap – Batman Smells?

Even with her dementia, my mom’s personality is still there – humourous, profane, caring and kind. I like nothing more than making her laugh and as much as the dementia has taken from her (and us), the disease has also made me love her more than I ever have. (Here’s her reaction to my “Robots […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Two Year Check-Up (April 2015)

When Sasha was born, my coworkers at RPL threw a baby shower for Shea and I. I still remember a couple co-workers who both had older children – one in high school the other with two in their early 20s – giving me a line that I still think of to this day: “Little kids, […]

Friday Fun Link – Vegas 1992

My first trip to Vegas was around 1992-1993, my second was around 2010 and my most recent was earlier this year. So pretty wild to look at a video from around the time of my first visit and compare it to how much has changed in the last thirty or so years!

Saturday Snap – Baby Librarian Hammond? Young Man Hammond?

It’s an unofficial tradition (does two people doing it so far equal a “tradition”?) that when a colleague is at one of the branches I work at – either for a meeting or redeployed due to illness or whatever – they leave a doodle of some kind as a “thanks” for using my desk. The […]

Friday Fun Link – This Is Mother Fucking Web Site

I remember learning the basics of HTML in 1997 and still joke that some of my first web design jobs were because I could “get a picture to show up on a web page.” Times have changed but I love this site as it brings back so many memories of the core web site design […]
