A Few Random Thoughts From 2021 @Sask_NDP Virtual Convention

Shea and I signed up to attend the virtual Sask NDP convention this weekend. We’ve been to a handful of conventions over the years since our first in 2009 – mostly in years when there was a leadership vote but also as delegates from our constituency on occasion.  (With that said, we’re not actively involved […]

Everything Wrong With The National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (A Partial & Incomplete List)

Hudson’s Bay Company selling orange shirts. Provincial governments such as Saskatchewan who don’t declare it a holiday (even as some cities within those provinces do). Catholic schools putting the Christian cross on their orange shirts. Businesses, organizations & people that don’t buy their orange shirts from Indigenous companies. Our federal government and its representatives continuing […]

Liveblogging the 2021 Canadian Federal Election #elxn44 #skpoli #canpoli #cndpoli

Okay, did this a couple elections ago for #Elxn42 but don’t think I did the last election.  But no big plans tonight other than a stiff rye & ginger ale so let’s see what we can see… – get home from work at 6pm to see that the split is roughly Libs – 21, Con […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Making a Difference at the Library (May 2021)

“He likes repetition,” she said. “So it’s like ‘yea you were just at the library to visit Jason, and you got to see Cheri, and Shirley gave you the hand stamp. There’s a real connection there that’s vital to him.’” Brandon was a child of the system who was put into foster care at the […]

Five Highlights of Camping (August Version)

Between Shea and I, we camped a personal record of 62 nights this summer from May to September including two 2-week stretches, every weekend, every long weekend and probably a few extra nights we managed to squeeze in here and there. Here’s some highlights from the month we just wrapped up… 1. Cornhole Tournament My […]

Saturday Snap – Hanging It Up For Another Camping Season

I may do a few entries about our summer but, for now, just sad that another great summer of camping is coming to a close…

Back From Camping (and Five “Redneck” Moments)

Eternal optimist that I am, I keep saying that Covid has had some unintended benefits. One of those is because we couldn’t do a winter trip this year, it also meant we had more holidays to take in the summer – two weeks in July but also two weeks in August which we don’t usually […]

New Southeast Regional Library (@srlhq) “Little Library” at Nickle Lake Regional Park

Can’t wait to check out (er, pun intended?) this little library out this weekend (and on a related note, I was hanging out with the new Weyburn Library Branch Head last weekend too.  Yep, I’m that cool!) 🙂 The “Beaver Den” is the park’s arts & craft shack but I’m still bitter that my entry […]

Weyburn, Sask Driving Tour

Not sure if I’d call it “best city to live” as this video claims but it’s where I spend most of my summer (well, at a nearby lake with occasional trips into town for groceries, booze and camping supplies) but it’s where my parents got married, my wife graduated high school, and my in-laws currently […]
