When we went to Moose Jaw for Noah Evanchuk's nomination a couple weeks ago, someone mentioned that they hadn't seen a lot of politics on my blog recently. I have no idea what I babbled as a response but the truth is that this blog was never meant to be a political outlet and that […]
Anticipating the appearance of the Backyardigans this afternoon as Pace had a water-themed day – swimming lessons in the morning, “Under the Sea” Backyardigans show then watch a bit of “Finding Nemo” on TV when we get home….
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.)

A couple of the other bloggers who supported Ryan Meili during the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race have issued challenges to their readers to donate to the Ryan Meili campaign to help pay off the last remaining debt that helped Dr. Meili finish a strong second place to eventual winner, Dwain Lingenfelter.

Stopped by the Regina KidSport's Chili Cook-off in downtown Regina today for a bowl of delicious NDP chili (no, it wasn't vegetarian for those who think all NDP'ers are granola crunchers.) The various Regina and area MLA's who were tending the table were being coy with whose recipe it was so I developed a couple […]
I'd hoped to have this ready a bit earlier (the one month anniversary of the convention vote was one day I flirted with and would've been perfect as it was also a Music Monday!). But it took me longer than I expected – mostly because I was teaching myself to use a different program so […]
I was planning to throw together one last Meili tribute video since it's been a month to the day since the vote at the NDP convention.
