Went to a few garage sales while camping in Weyburn and one person had set-up a Square account to accept credit card payments! (And what’s $8 get you at a garage sale these days? A brand new tarp still in the plastic, a power bar, an extension cord, and a multi-head screwdriver! I did okay […]

Gone Camping (Part Deux)
Posts will likely be sporadic to non-existent for the next couple weeks. (Sunset walks, on the other hand, will be plentiful!)
Music Monday – “Bone for bone, we are the same/Bones get tired, and they can’t carry all the weight/We can talk until you can’t even remember my name”
“Remembering” – Ashley Campbell
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Time Driving? (July 2012)
Not sure if this was Pace’s first time driving with my dad at our farm but at any rate, hard to believe he now has his learner’s license!
Friday Fun Link – Stanley Cup Winning Goals (1933-2019)
This video isn’t as relevant tonight as I’d hoped it would be. But oh well, the Avs will hopefully add their own contribution to this montage on Sunday!
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)
As the Stanley Cup Finals are coming to an end (Go Avs!), it makes me think how I have very tangential connections to a handful of NHLers. Though he was a couple years older than me, my main “connection” was growing up on the same street as Dave Karpa (who regularly used my testicles for […]
Throwback Thursday – Putting A Stamp On One Of My Most Memorable Library Moments (Sometime In Late 2021)
I’ve been fortunate to have all sorts of happy, sad, and memorable moments working in the library over the years. One of the most unique was helping a couple family members of Metis Leader, Harry Daniels, who fought to have his people included in the Canadian Constitution, come into the library to print a proof […]
Music Monday – “Wake up, it’s a beautiful morning/The sun shining for your eyes/Wake up, it’s so beautiful/For what could be the very last time”
Obviously an impossible question but whenever there’s a “What’s your favourite song of all-time” question, I always pick “Find The River” by R.E.M. I love how melancholy and poetic and longing that song is. There’s another song that’s in my Top 10 and which is probably a contender for number one – “Wake Up Boo!” […]
Saturday Snap – Nicely Broken In…
Even though I grew up in a small town, surrounded by tons of family and friends who were really into cars, I was never obsessed with vehicles myself. I always said “If it’s got four wheels, an engine, and gets me where I need to go, I’m happy.” Well, the car I bought a few […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Undergrad Announcement (May 1996)
With Pace getting his learner’s this week, I’ve got a bit of a “milestone” theme going. So here’s the newspaper announcement (remember those?) from when I graduated with my BA…
