Friday Forlorn Link – Rest In Power, Bruce.

Not really a link and definitely not fun like my usual Friday Fun Link posts. But a friend posted the below on Facebook in reaction to the suicide of an Alberta man who was about to suffer from changes to that province’s disability support program. It hit me harder than it might have for a […]

Saturday Snap – Busy Bouncing Library

Had incredibly busy day at the Sherwood Branch on Saturday – getting to know a newly hired Branch Manager who was on site, dealing with some scheduling blips, the launch of a new exhibit in the satellite gallery space for the Dunlop Art Gallery, (I’m usually at the Glen Elm Branch on Saturdays so this […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Chef

Pace and his girlfriend spent a few days at our campsite last week solo and it makes you wonder where the time goes…

Saturday Snap – Farewell Aunt Sandi (2026 Edition)

My mom’s sister, Sandi, has been coming from Kelowna to stay with us in Regina for about a month every spring ever since my son was born. Since my mom was diagnosed with dementia she’s ended up spending more of her time in Indian Head so she can be with mom.  She’s also been coming […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – List of People I’ve Reported to at Regina Public Library in 17 Years

Music Monday – “Think of you with pipe and slippers, think of her in bed/Laying there just watching telly, then think of me instead.”

Going through a bit of a Beautiful South phase right now.  Discovered them while on exchange in England and have fond memories of singing their sarcastic lyrics over beautiful melodies in the hallway with my dormmates. Even had “Prettiest Eyes” as Shea’s and my first song at our wedding dance! “Don’t Marry Her (Fuck Me)” […]

Original Star Wars Movie Being Re-Released in Theatres For Its 50th Anniversary

Easily the movie I’ve watched the most times in my life.  In the olden days when you would rent a VCR and get four movies to watch over a weekend, I would watch this multiple times.  Over the years, I’ve probably watched it two dozen times?  Maybe more. Star Wars. Not Episode 4. Not A […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Meetings

Running an effective meeting is one of the core skills managers and supervisors need in any organization.  (I don’t agree with everything in this picture but I do agree that meetings and how they are run is a reflection of your larger culture.)
