Music Monday – “Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left/And here on earth everything thing’s different, there’s an emptiness”

Death was a dark cloud haunting our summer in a variety of ways. In August, I lost a great aunt who lived in Weyburn at age 86. Earlier in the summer, I drove up to Warman for the funeral of one of my favourite cousins who was only in his 50’s when cancer took his life. He […]

Throwback Thursday – Happy Anniversary to Me! (September 2008)

I started at Regina Public Library on September 8, 2008 so this year is my ten year anniversary at RPL. Traditionally, people have thought of thirty years as a “typical” career in a workplace and though I worked for a decade in another sector before librarianship and though I also spent a couple years in […]
