As the person who uploaded this video observes, it’s amazing how Fred Eaglesmith can go from hilarious to heart-ripping in a second. This is one of my favourite songs of his…

Family Hockey Pool Update
For the past few years, a cousin in BC has run a just-for-fun hockey pool for family members across the country, both regular season and playoffs. I usually enter a few teams each time the pool comes up – a team or two for myself, a team for Shea using the strategy of picking either […]
Saturday Snap – Pace’s Fifth Birthday
Pace and friends enjoying “Dino Bouncers”… Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it takes three men to raise a loft bed… …a project which unintentionally echoes the day’s Lego theme! 😉
Friday Fun Link – Saskatchewan 1973
A promo from local CTV affiliate, CKCK in the year of my birth…
TedxRegina
After an extremely long day, I’m pretty tired. Hopefully I’ll revisit my TedxRegina experience in the next day or two. But for now…
Saturday Snap – Good-bye Old Friend
Our car got smushed in a hit and run while parked on the street in front our house late Friday night/early Saturday morning (actually our neighbour’s van got hit with enough impact that it ended up on our car’s trunk!). Our car’s a total write-off which is sad as we’ve had it for a decade […]

UWO MLIS Program “Spirit of Librarianship” Award Winners
One of the pages I lost when my old blog disappeared was a page I created back in 2006 which had some of the background and criteria as well as winners, nominees, bios and even some photos for UWO’s “Spirit of Librarianship” Award in the MLIS program. I still have the page where all this […]
The MetaFilter InfoDump
You can tell which sites I’ve had the longest history on by looking at my user name on the site. If it’s not “Headtale” then you know it’s a site I’ve been on for a LONG time – probably around 10-15 years. There only a handful of sites that fit this criteria – CalgaryPuck, a […]
Saturday Snap – 2012 Sask Book Awards
Sorry this photo is a bit blurry but it’s a shot of the prize table before the Sask Book Awards Gala last night. I attended as a volunteer and had a blast as always. My main duty was sitting at the nominee registration table so it felt like “old home week” as I got to […]
