Happy Work-iversary To Me!

Today marks 13 years since I started at Regina Public Library on September 8, 2008 (and I got to celebrate by taking a rare opportunity to exercise some front-line librarian muscles by reading a couple stories to a grade 3/4 class that visited our branch today!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up? (June 2013)

I took Pace to a wrestling show last weekend but it wasn’t his first – we’d gone to one or two over the years and though he never became as obsessed as I was at his age, he did obviously watch wrestling on TV with me occasionally given what he told his kindergarten teacher he […]

A Few Highlights From CWE “Cruel Summer” Wrestling Show in Weyburn, SK

Took Pace and his cousin to a wrestling show in Weyburn last Saturday and it was a blast bringing back fond memories of my dad taking me to a handful of Stampede Wrestling shows in Regina and Fort Qu’Appelle and even a few shows in my own hometown of Indian Head. A few highlights… 1. […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – RPL Photo Shoot (June 2011)
