Sasha’s had one of those Elf on the Shelf things the past few years (well, a Dollar Store knock-off) but this year, she’s figured out some secrets about Santa, the North Pole and surveillance state elves that watch your every move. Even though she’s figured out that the elf doesn’t move on its own (I […]
One of my favourite things about listening to music is hearing a song that catches you just right and you like it so much, you end up playing it repeatedly. That was me with this song this past weekend… “One More Night in Brooklyn” – Justin Townes Earle
Going through some old papers, I came across this recommendation letter from the Sask Library Association Executive Director. If this letter didn’t make it clear, I’ve always felt a strong connection to libraries, loved getting to work for the province’s library association and, only five short years later, I’d be off to library school to […]
It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet! We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we […]

Hard to believe it was a year ago on November 22 that we took possession of our new house. It has been an eventful twelve months to say the least and though it was a big, stressful decision at the time, probably one of the best decisions of our lives!
The creator of a FB page promoting the honest, non-partisan sharing of Covid experiences was a couple years behind me in school and I know her dad and family as well. It’s tragic that the reason she created this page was because her dad is one of many people in Indian Head affected by Covid […]
Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast. Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s […]
In order… SASK PROVINCIAL ELECTION (OCT 26) 1. In my initial post-mortem, I chalked up at least one big factor in the NDP’s failure to do well up to people wanting the status quo during a pandemic. (This was bolstered by the BC NDP actually growing their majority a few days earlier.) But as detailed […]
As rumours spread that at least two dozen people in the community have Covid, my hometown of Indian Head, Saskatchewan is facing a jump in Covid cases that has affected the nursing home, local businesses and now both the elementary and high schools which are going to be closed for two weeks. WATCH: Over the […]
