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 […]
Reading: “Life” – Keith Richards On Deck: “Delivering Happiness” – Tony Hsieh In the Hole – “Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution” – Richard Dawkins (All subject to change of course when the next shiny book catches my eye!)
Usually I’d save a video like this for Music Monday. But it’s too cute (and going viral too fast!) to save it for next week. Enjoy!

He didn’t have words so to help remember it, he started singing “Scrambled eggs/Oh my baby, how I love your legs.” After singing the melody for everyone he could find, […]
I’m nervous for the Western Final today as the Riders (who squeaked past BC last week) face off against their arch-rivals, the Calgary Stampeders.
