In bad news, today had a dose of freezing rain/melty snow that made my recent decision to stop wearing winter clothes, no matter what the weather was doing, quite foolish. In good news, after getting home, drying off, and eating supper, I got to have a nice conversation with a young man in the Philippines […]

Saturday Snap – California Subs Returns @thecapitol_jazz! (sort of) #yqr
Shea recently saw on FB that two local restaurants – the Capitol Jazz Club and the Lancaster Pub – were re-creating some favourites from the iconic 1990’s Regina sub shop, California Subs – for a limited time. So when we had plans to go out for the evening, it was no question where our first […]
Friday Fun Link – Making Friends and Having Fun @rebbrewregina Cask Fest #yqr
I was heading downtown for a different social event after work yesterday when I decided to pop into Rebellion Brewing to have “a couple” samples from the many unique brews at their 4th Annual Cask Fest before carrying on my way. Rebellion is a great local craft brewery but I don’t think their tap room allows […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – #JerseysForHumboldt (February 2009) #HumboldtStrong #JerseyDay
Today, I wore the same jersey today that I’ve worn for years but for a less happy reason than skating with my son nearly a decade ago…
“I’m not unusual in Canada for how much hockey has meant to me my whole life.”
I put this on Facebook before the Humboldt Broncos Vigil tonight (and after some time has passed, I may share some other thoughts on that) but wanted to capture it here too since Facebook sucks. 😉 I’m not unusual in Canada for how much hockey has meant to me my whole life. I was never […]
Saturday Snap – How Can The Library Help In A Time of Tragedy? #humboldtbroncos #humboldtstrong
In tragedies, most people know their roles… First responders race to the scene to face whatever awfulness awaits them. Doctors, nurses and other medical personnel use their skills to do whatever they can to heal the injured. Journalists try to capture, not only the story but the range of emotions that they and their audience is […]
“When he was a kid/He’d be up at five/Take shots ’til eight/Make the thing drive”
He was gonna play in the big league.
Saturday Snap – Awesome @officialRPL Display @rqhealth North Office #ReadersAreLeaders #BabiesNeedBooks #yqr
I popped by Sask Health Authority – RQHR’s North Public Health Office (uhm, there are probably about three things wrong in trying to capture the current name of their office in that list!) the other day to drop off a couple literacy posters and was very happy to see they had an excellent display of […]
Calgary Librarian Gives Up City Career To Run Family Farm in Saskatchewan
Technically, I could also give up my library career to go back to run our family farm. But since I’m still scarred from misjudging the width of a swather and driving it into a power pole as a young man, I think I’ll stick with books and computers instead of barley and combines! 😉 Anyhow, […]
