Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Pace Turning Sixteen

Hard to believe Pace is 16 on May 19th! When he was born, I was trying to take a photo of him with an “Oscar The Grouch” doll I bought Shea regularly. (We called Pace “Oscar the Grouch” in utero as he was often “grumpy”.) I didn’t it every year like I had hoped but […]

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes.  This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas.  And ball stadiums.  And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]

Friday Fun Link – The Scientific Case For Two Spaces After A Period

This.  Is.  Vindication.  For Myself.  And everyone.  Who took.  Typing.  On a manual typewriter.  In grade 10.  In 1989. (Even Google agrees!) Google Translate puts two spaces after the end of a sentence by inmildlyinfuriating There might even be a free speech argument for two spaces after a period?!?

Music Monday – “We’ve come so far and we’ve reached so high/And we’ve looked each day and night in the eye/And we’re still so young and we hope for more/But remember this…”

Howard Donald (55) is the oldest member of Take That who performed as a trio at the Coronation Concert yet with his shaggy haircut and grey beard, he is the one I resemble the most. Hell, even their slow-mo dance steps are a far cry from their energetic boy band routines in the mid-1990s in […]

Secular Sunday – “Indiana public librarians forced to remove half the books in the teen section as demanded by unelected library board including a pro-book banning pastor”

Just as we watched drug poisonings and Narcan training spread across American libraries before becoming more common in Canada, I suspect religiously-motivated book banning requests (and religious board members being even more activist in trying to direct library’s directions, not just individual books) is the next thing American libraries will export to Canada. (via r/atheism)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Drop Everything And Read, Regina Coronation Park (April 2017) #skpoli

By most accounts, Sask Party MLA Mark Docherty was a decent dude. I know I always enjoyed my interactions with him – when he would come to the library I was working at for events or programs or when I would bump into him at community events or whatever. Given his background and resume, I’ve […]
