…but our entry in the “Decorate for Canada Day” contest at Nickle Lake actually inspired the judges to add and award a second place prize (hat *and* t-shirt, baby!) after they couldn’t decide between ours and the people who ended up winning first place (folding chair *and* folding table). A couple subtle notes about our […]
“CA-NA-DA (Cross Canada)” – Stomping Tom Connors w/ kd lang
From Colbert (with bonus mention of Saskatchewan!) Late night comedians are having a lot of fun with my home province actually (ffwd to 3:00 minute mark)… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_zTGF1Qv1k
From my personal journal, February 11, 2000: Settle in to bed (well, a sleeping bag under a cafeteria table) about midnight. Oh, when we get back from grabbing our sleeping bags, I offer to bring a coffee to the security guard and end up having a big talk with him – about how he got […]
This is a pretty cool initiative by Regina Public Library’s Dunlop Art Gallery and a variety of other partners and agencies to have public art in a variety of communities across Saskatchewan and encourage people to visit as many as they can.

We weren’t allowed into the Riders’ locker room (only the Visitors’ locker room) but we did get to take a family photo in front of the […]
I didn’t think to get a picture with all the dads who were around our camp site this weekend but did get separate pictures of Shea’s parents (including her dad) and my parents (including my dad *and* me) so we’ll count that as a worthwhile Father’s Day post!
This idea is increasingly common in other public libraries across Canada but it’s very cool that that Regent Place where I work was the first public library branch in Regina to offer a Drag Queen Storytime as part of the Pride Festival. The idea isn’t without controversy in some circles but I was pleasantly surprised that the vast […]
It’s become a bit of a family tradition to take the kid (and now “kids”) to a small parking lot fair that sets up every June at the Northgate Mall, close to our house, instead of the bigger, busier, more expensive Queen City Ex later in the summer. Here’s a pic from when Pace was […]
