On Thursday, Pace got his first stripe in karate moving from a white belt to…a white belt with a single red stripe on it. On Friday, he passed his swimming lessons and will now move from “Salamander” to “Sunfish”… And of course way back on Monday, Pace was easily the cutest tiger on the block… […]
And the answer (at least according to this infographic) is yes. Bonus: here’s a wise prognosticator on the same subject back in 2006… (Okay, it’s me but I’m pretty proud of this one – not just that it was my highest mark of library school but also because I really kicked ass on my presentation […]
[Edit: this post got linked to by a MJ Fan Community. Visit that page for more news & reviews of the Saskatoon and other shows.] I’m sitting in a hotel room in Saskatoon having just watched “Cirque Du Soleil Presents: Michael Jackson – THE IMMORTAL World Tour” show. This is my third Cirque show (I […]
When I worked for Southeast Regional Library, the local Co-op grocery store was a couple blocks away. I stopped in regularly – for groceries on the way home or to pick up the occasional treats for our afternoon coffee breaks. I was also there fairly regularly because Southeast policy was that you had to return […]

My great-great-grandfather homesteaded in 1883, taking advantage of the famous Dominion Lands Act that offered 160 acres for $10 which drew so many settlers to the […]
My mom’s taking a genealogy class so we spent quite a bit of time this weekend looking through her class notes, different web sites and reviewing the information she’d already gathered about her family. I’d taken a genealogy class in library school and had done quite a bit of research as well but mostly on […]
Shea almost canceled our wedding when this song was playing non-stop on Mexican MTV in the lead-up to our big day. I’m not sure who was able to finally convince her that Robbie Williams might just be unobtainable and she’d have to settle for me but I’m glad they did! 😉 (Oh, who am I […]
Pace on growing up: “First, you’re a baby then you’re a kid then you’re a human then you find a wife.” Pace impresses with his vocabulary (but not his abilities as a human dictionary): “Ferocious means nice.” Jason: “No, it means dangerous…like a ferocious tiger.” Pace: “Oh, like this?” <jumps on my head> When Shea […]
