With at least eight ridings still to be decided, I’ll likely do a longer post with some thoughts on the Sask Election once the mail-in ballots are counted and we know what the final count is. But after a conversation on Twitter with a former high school classmate who felt the BC election didn’t represent […]

Saturday Snap – Lessons From The Grandparents
Went out to Indian Head to help my parents celebrate their 49th anniversary and spend some time with them. Grandma Showing Sasha How To Make Waffles… Grandpa Teaching Pace How To Drive…
Friday Fun Link – “Almost A Full Moon” Workshop
Pretty cool – Hawksley Workman’s “Almost a Full Moon” is being turned into a stage play…
Throwback Thursday – Beer Coaster Collage (1995 to now)
I went through a phase in college where I collected beer coasters. I never did anything with them but after rediscovering them in a container when we moved to our new house, I decided to at least mount them on an unused corkboard. (Of course, since we’re in a new house and our tastes are […]
Saturday Snap – I Didn’t Live Through The Great Depression…
…but I still can’t help but throw this small piece of twine into our junk drawer “just in case.” (My grandparents would be proud!) 😉
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NDP Means A Healthy Society (February 2013) #skpoli #skvotes
This is a very cool poster that Ryan Meili’s team created during his 2013 leadership run. The design may be retro but the message is more timely than ever as Saskatchewan and the entire world try to figure out the best way forward in the midst of a worldwide pandemic. I don’t know about you […]
Music Monday – “Well, the nobles said to the people, ‘You better close your public schools/Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too.'”
Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest. Ironically, since he was covering for a country singer who the show cancelled for blatantly disregarding Covid restrictions, White played a mash-up of a few different songs including an old blues tune written about the pandemic of 1918… If that […]
Friday Fun Link – Favourite Hockey Equipment Oddities
Free Agency Day in the NHL is normally on July 1 bur with all the Covid weirdness, the date got pushed back to today. The Flames signed Jacob Markstrom, one of the highest rated goalies available which is awesome since my team hasn’t had a true #1 goalie since Miikka Kiprusoff. This is as good […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sold! (October 2019)
It feels like a lot more than a year ago that our offer on a new house was accepted. But the truth is that it was only a year ago this week that it became official. At the time, who knew this new house would become so much more than a slightly newer, slightly bigger, […]
My Thoughts On Some Controversial Library Opinions
There was a good Twitter thread recently which posed a simple question: “What’s your controversial library opinion?” I thought it might be interesting to record some of my responses to these opinions whether I agreed or disagree (if this isn’t clear, all the bolded opinions below were submitted by Twitbrarians and the plain text under […]
