Friday Fun Link – Raptors Win NBA Chamionship!
I used to be a pretty big basketball fan in high school but admit I’ve gotten away from the game. But really enjoyed jumping on the bandwagon for the Raptors amazing playoff run that ended last night with them capturing the championship. (Saw an interesting piece of trivia – Leafs won their last Stanley Cup […]

Pace and some of his friends trying out the new Raptors Junior Basketball Hoop that he got for his birthday a couple years ago…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Farewell Aunt Sandi! (May 2008)
For the past few weeks, we’ve had another good visit with my Aunt Sandi who comes out from BC every spring to spend time with us. Here’s a shot from one of her first visits the year Pace turned one…
The Craziest Edit in Beatles History
I’ve got a mini-Beatles/music theme going on the past couple days (so much so that when I looked at my post about the Mi’kmaq version of “Blackbird” yesterday, I thought it *was* my Music Monday post and I’d somehow missed posting on Tuesday!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Multi-Year Fence Project Finally Finished? (May 2014, May 2017, May 2018, May 2019)

Saturday Night – Regent Place Triplets Reunited
Usually, men are few and far between in library work. But I had a brief period where not only was I the only man around, I actually had two other dudes working in my branch out of a staff complement of ten. As a bonus, we all had a similar look so we joked about […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Tree of Tears (July 2015)
About four years ago, we came back from a camping trip to find that a neighbour’s tree had split and was being removed. One of the branches hung over the fence into our yard and Sasha had some tears when she realised she’d no longer have a swing. I had tears too but they were […]
Happy 12th Birthday Pace!
Mom and I are incredibly proud of the young man you’ve become!
Retro Saturday Snap – Feet to the Fire
