Some Quick Thoughts On The Stabbing at Lynn Valley Public Library in North Vancouver

Shea and I often talk about how strange it is that librarians are one of the few professions where practitioners actively visit local examples of their workplace in other communities when traveling (she doesn’t have a strong desire to visit hospitals in other places when on a holiday – that’s for sure!). I think there’s […]

Covid-19: A Year in Review

But remembering the past is also a way of believing that this moment will someday be the past. Which is to say, nostalgia for the past is also a way of believing in the future. Daydreaming about the After Times — the Before Times’s mythic counterpart — is in part an exercise in imagining what it will […]

Pace brought home his application form for high school yesterday and that’s a bit hard to believe!

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

  Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 360 Front Flip With A Twist (January 2017)

In hindsight, letting a 10-year old parkour addict jump off the snow-covered garage  into a big pile of snow was probably not the wisest decision of my parenting career (and isn’t that usually the stuff you do when your parents aren’t watching anyhow?)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)

We’ve had a lot of snow this year and one big advantage of our new house is having an attached garage so we don’t have to shovel/scrape/dig out like at our old house (which had a detached garage but which we rarely used since it was: a) full of junk b) behind the house and […]

Saturday Snap – A Pretty “Big” Milestone

Considering all he does is eat and sleep, it’s not surprising.  But still a bit shocking to see our teenager is suddenly taller than his mom – feels like he grew three inches in the last month! He has three tall grandparents and one shorter one – Shea’s average height and I’m relatively tall (6’2″) […]

Friday Fun Link – Nice Lights! @HawksleyWorkman

Shea and I took the kids for our annual “Twinkle Tour” around Regina tonight and funny to think how Covid has even influenced this simple tradition… – immediately noticing a higher amount of traffic at the “starred” houses on the Sparkle Tour web site, likely because there are fewer other entertainment options – no work […]
