We’re having our yard landscaped next week so, if I’m lucky, this might be a photo of the last time I cut grass in my life! (Also, funny coincidence – the kid’s climbing structure ended up going to…our former neighbours at our last house who saw the listing on Facebook and reached out. If I’d […]

The Moose Is Loose! #yqr
We’ve seen a lot of wildlife in the green space behind our house – partridges, rabbits, even a coyote. But seeing a moose earlier this week was a new one!
Introducing Apple Vision Pro
My Apple stocks are either going to sky rocket or crash hard on this news! 😉 If your promotional video is indistinguishable from something you'd see in a particularly dystopian episode of Black Mirror, maybe time to reconsider? https://t.co/6E2gn4gwTC — stephensben at bluesky (@stephens_ben) June 5, 2023
Music Monday – “Well I come home from work/You know I’m tired of the beat/I try to make some supper/Get myself something to eat”

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – One Year Ago, I Had Shingles (June 2022)
…replaced on my roof about a year after a major hailstorm ripped through north Regina and punched machine-gun holes in most houses’ siding in our neighbourhood. (Our next door neighbours just got their siding done this week!) In a weird way, this was perfect timing as our house had original shingles that were end-of-life so […]
2022 SPL Report To Our Community
Always interesting to look at other library system’s annual reports at what’s similar, what’s different and also to spark ideas and inspiration.
Music Monday – “What would you say/If I took those words away?/Then you couldn’t make things new/Just by saying ‘I love you'”
It’s always ironic than when my life is the busiest – work, home, family – both immediate and extended, camping, volunteer stuff, medical appointments, helping my parents, etc. etc. etc. – is when I’m most likely to end up not doing daily blog posts (I frequently miss a day but then do it the following […]
Friday Fun Link – Sing A Note
Can’t find it now but whoever posted this (likely on Reddit?) said this reminds them of the random silly amazingness of the early days of the Internet before a handful of tech giants controlled pretty much all content and discourse (and yes, I know there’s irony saying that since this is a YouTube video!)
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 […]
