I made a somewhat cryptic reference to a special project I'd been given in a previous post on My 10 Favourite Things About My New Job. At the time, I said “I'm not going to talk too much about it here yet but I've been given a special project to work on that is about […]

Green Is The Colour/Football Is The Game (and some YouTube Highlights While You're Waiting For The Game)
In 1989, the Riders won only their second Grey Cup ever in the 95 year history of the CFL (admittedly, pretty embarrassing in an 8-10 team league.) They won with a team led by QB Kent Austin in a game played in Toronto's Skydome. This year, the Riders, with Austin as coach, go into the […]
The Saskatchewan Book Awards Are Tonight
The Riders aren't the only ones in Saskatchewan hoping to win a big prize this weekend – it's also time for the annual Saskatchewan Book Awards. Except for last year when I was in Ontario for school, I've attended every Gala since 1997. I served on their board for three years… (one of these people […]
"Paint The Whole World Green" – Jason Plumb & the Willing
Does anybody remember The Waltons? One of the best CanRock bands of the early to mid-1990's and the pride of Regina. Their lead singer, Jason Plumb, is back in Saskatchewan and a fixture in the local music scene. (via Abandoned Stuff)
Ready For The Big Game
Pace needs to work on his game face but he's young – it'll come. (And no, that's not spilled beer on my leg. And yes, it's baby drool.) On a related note, we went to see Brent Butt at Casino Regina for my staff Christmas party Friday night. I have a completely unprovable theory that […]
"New Rider Regime: Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" – Saskabush
Saskabush is like Saskatchewan's answer to The Onion (but with a much more random yet much less frequent publishing schedule.) Not sure how the humour translates outside the borders of the flatlands but as someone who lives here, I find the writer laugh-out-loud funny on a frequent basis. So, in light of the recent provincial […]
Saskatchewan Election Prediction
A few other bloggers are doing this so I thought I'd throw my two pence in the ring…Saskatchewan Party – 44NDP – 11Liberals – 3Man, I hope the Sask Party isn't as bad as the Grant Devine Conservatives. But it's looking like 1982 all over again.
Randomness (Happy Guy Fawkes Night)
Not sure how it started but I used to have a slightly more frequent tradition of clearing out the various tidbits I'd been sent by e-mail, found on the web and some of the other random thoughts banging around my head in one big post, tied for some unknown reason, to a holiday, well-known or […]
Sask Political Parties Positions on Public Libraries
At work, I was asked to do some advocacy work on behalf of the Saskatchewan Library Trustees’ Association in advance of the upcoming provincial election which happens on November 7.(Okay, I didn’t get to have any actual input myself – I was mainly doing the grunt work of setting up a mailing list and coordinating […]
Going To The Candidate's Debate (Weyburn-Big Muddy Version)
There's a provincial election coming up in Saskatchewan in about ten days (November 7) so Shea and I took the opportunity to go to the candidate's debate at her old high school tonight – even though we're planning to vote in our home riding in Regina. I'm too tired to analyze what we heard too […]
