Tonight, the Riders clinched the CFL's Western Division for the first time in thirty-three years. (We won't spend time contemplating this level of futility in what has long been a four-team division – yikes!) Anyhow, since I used my most current Rider-themed photo last week, I thought I'd dig in the archives for one from […]
The Pop Songs blog was set-up for the author to do an analysis of every song in the R.E.M. catalogue. This led to Michael Stipe himself contacting the site and ending up answering numerous reader questions about R.E.M.'s songs and their genesis – how cool is that?MetaFilter has a thread titled “What is 'Try Not […]
Although his was the right fibula which is even worse! I've been on crutches for the past two weeks so we decided to just hit a couple local malls for trick or treating today. That meant I could take advantage of their free wheelchairs as that's a lot easier on the arm pits then hauling […]
We had our annual RPL Staff Conference on Friday (I've had a request for more thoughts on the conference which I'll do later – maybe tomorrow.) Part of the day's festivities was a silent auction of gift baskets put together by the various units and branches throughout the library, all in support of United Way. […]
[Edit: I just realised that “Saturday Snap” was probably never more appropriate as a title!]No, not it does not! Just that none of the other options (bright orange, glow-in-the-dark white, camouflage) appealed to daddy's highly evolved sense of fashion. Man, thinking more about it – I played rec hockey with this team for almost ten […]

And bonus SaturdaySnap…one of the participants in the “Best Shush!” event:
…do you really need a copy of this poster in the bathroom of your office building?
It's not something I spend a great deal of time thinking about but I do feel fortunate that I belong to a profession that's consistently ranked as one of the most valued in society (librarians and firefighters usually battle for the “most important public service” title when citizens in various cities are surveyed each year.) […]
In my ongoing quest to give a theme to every single day of the week on this blog, I've decided to start the “Saturday Snap” recurring feature to highlight a photo I've taken – usually from the past seven days but occasionally something from the archives or maybe even a cool photo I find online. […]
Today is the one year anniversary of my starting at RPL (an occasion so auspicious, I commemorated it by posting a link to an album of mellowed-out cover versions of the Footloose soundtrack on this day one year ago!). Still, this last year has gone in a flash and it's hard to believe it's been […]
