Shea, the kids and I are planning to go on a winter holiday with my parents next February. My folks and I went in to talk to the CAA Travel Agent earlier this week (my thought: “People still use travel agents?” My parents’ thought: “You book all your travel online?”) 😉 Going in, we had […]
This isn’t from too long ago – about a year ago – but I was thinking about some of my favourite memories from my time as a Branch Head at Regent Place branch and this is one that jumped to mind – we had a “Retro Anniversary” party for the branch last fall to celebrate […]
Lots to argue with here but points for even trying to make this list (the author strikes on an interesting conceit to make it work, grouping songs thematically to count them down.)
I had the honour of attending the 80th birthday of my Aunt Joan with various other family members at The Keg last night. Aunt Joan is the fifth of my dad’s family of ten siblings to reach this milestone (unfortunately, the sibling who would be next in line to reach this milestone passed away last year so […]
I’ve finally had time to go through all the pictures (2000+!) that I took over the course of the entire summer and winnow them down to a handful of favourites. That’s still more than most people should have to sit through at a single sitting so what I did was create a long slideshow with […]
At the time, I never thought I’d leave AltaVista, which is retroactively recognized as the “Google of Its Time“.
I have no idea what the odds are but we’ve had not one but two vehicles written off after being hit while parked on the street in front of our house. The most recent was in February of 2016… I got rear ended again last week while stopped at a crosswalk but luckily, this time […]
…it’s crazy that people in library school are still reading my blog for fun and profit. (The question below was posted on a FB page for FIMS students/alum, another alum tagged me but before I could even dig around too much to look for the post this person wanted, another student chimed in with a […]
Another thing that made our summer so amazing was the non-stop music… …that we played from morning to night (okay, Shea’s not as big of a music fan as I am and occasionally asked for some peace and quiet to read her book!) Above is a graph of how many individual songs I played each […]
It could’ve easily gone the other way. If we’d had a rainy summer, if we had neighbours who played loud rap until all hours of the morning (nothing against rap – just not my idea of campground music), if we hadn’t been able to get out to our site as much as we did, if […]
