You would think this was planned, it’s so perfect…
We have a PVR on our TV and one of the biggest benefits for me is the ability to all but avoid commercials – either by recording programs and watching them at a later time or even while watching a show in near real-time. This is especially useful for “event” television like oh, I don’t […]
Believe it or not, RPL offers ~5000 programs a year. This was one of the best (and most successful) I’ve been to, popping down during my lunch hour last week:
The 100 Best First Lines The 100 Best Last Lines Part of Pace’s storytime routine is that when we come to the end of a picture book, I say “What do we say when we come to the end of a book?” and then he yells out “THE END!” So that’s probably my favourite last […]

I recently discovered a sub-Reddit that could give me Music Monday material for years to come. r/coversongs is exactly as it says – links to various cover versions of songs done by well-known and unknown performers.
