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!

Friday Fun Link – Drag Queen Storytime @officialrpl #yqr
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 […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ferris Wheel Smile (June 2013)
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 […]
#yqr Toilet A Top Tourist Attraction
There was a time, shortly after I graduated from my MLIS program, where I seriously thought about putting together a presentation about the importance of the public washrooms in libraries – from making the entire library as a welcoming space for the widest variety of people to being a great way to promote programs to […]
Music Monday – “Seeing traces/Of the stars that came before/Hitting the pavement/Still asking for more”
I’ve got a bit of an informal Americana “camping music” theme going this month with Jason Isbell last week and now Son Volt this week… “Tear Stained Eye” – Son Volt
(Sunday) Snap – Sasha and Grandma
I missed posting yesterday since we were camping and my cell data was close to going over so I was trying to minimize anything I did online (er, some would point out that’s probably a good approach to camping in general!) 😉 Anyhow, by not posting a Saturday Snap, I ended up taking a great […]
Friday Fun Link – What Are Some Albums That Are Great For Camping?
Reddit, which has just undergone its first redesign in a decade, recently passed Facebook as the third most trafficked site in the United States. Being able to find any kind of timely information you want – for example, ideas for some new music to listen to at your campsite – is a big part of why […]
Thanks Aunt Sandi!
Our annual visit from my Aunt Sandi, who stays with us for a few weeks around Pace’s birthday each year, is over for another year. It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]
Saturday Snap – The Kids Celebrating Their Heritage at #Mosaicyqr
Should’ve called it “The Escape Castle“? What I imagine a Scottish princess would say… And of course, haggis!
Music Monday – “Pushed around and kicked around/Always a lonely boy/You were the one that they’d talk about around town as they put you down”
I had the day off so decided to pop out to Congress at the U of R. It was a great day going through the Exhibitors’ Hall catching up with some publishers I knew from my days in that world, meeting some new publishers, talking to authors and so on. Since I rarely get out […]
