Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Helicopter Ride in Hawaii (January 2012)

I took mom and dad on a charter flight for their anniversary last week. It was their first time in a small Cessna but not their first time in the air as I also took them on a helicopter ride during a family trip to Hawaii in 2012 (though given the company we used had […]

Saturday Snap – “The Years Have Flown By” 50th Anniversary Charter Plane Flight

I was going to post a bunch of pics from our charter flight yesterday but to get my money’s worth, I feel like I should parcel them out one or two per day for awhile! 😉 Ready for takeoff…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Wedding Dance (June 2003)

This is a picture of my parents at my cousin’s wedding dance in Calgary in 2003. (His marriage lasted about three years while mom and dad will be celebrating 50 years of marriage later this month! But to be fair, my cousin had better luck the second time around – and has been married to […]

Saturday Snap – Spud Drug Deal?

My coworker hooked me up with a guy selling discounted 50lb bags of oversized and misshapen potatoes (who, of course, turns out to be a regular at my library.) At any rate, pulling up at his house, I felt like I was getting in the middle of a shady drug deal – cars lining up, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Homemade “Baby’s Coming!” Photoshoot (April 2013)

The Scottish runs deep in me so I was too cheap to do a professional photoshoot when Shea was pregnant with baby #2. Instead, using our camera’s timer, a tripod, and the poor lighting in our basement, we did our own photos (which turned out to be only a couple days before Sasha was born!) […]

Saturday Snap – Covid 19 Supper Club Returns To The Real World

There’s a small group of people I graduated high school with who live in Regina that we started going out for supper with a few times a year maybe 4-5 years ago? We had our last in-person supper before Covid hit at a local brewpub in February 2020 and though we transitioned to a private […]

Saturday Snap – I Won The Lottery! (sorta)

I know lottery tickets are a waste of money but I buy them for a few reasons: 1) Lottery money helps fund a lot of great organizations including many of the non-profits I used to work for/with/volunteer for. 2. As a colleague once said, “sure, you’re not going to win but what you’re actually buying […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Visiting Regina Public Library As A Young Man (Date Unknown)

As yesterday was my “work-iversary” of starting at Regina Public Library in 2008, I thought I’d post one of my favourite pictures of all-time for “Throwback Thursday”. This is a scan of a print (remember those where you’d get 24 photos in a roll of film for a camera?) of me coming out of the […]
