Music Monday – “Our house had the biggest patio/Our house had all the summer shade/We had patio lanterns “

Really enjoying our back yard patio as Shea and I continue to make more and more improvements – the most recent is the addition of some lattice and and a new gate… Now we only need a theme song for our new favourite place! 😉 “Patio Lanterns” – Kim Mitchell

Saturday Snap – Monster Truck Flag

Pace was pretty excited when he got home from the Monster Truck & Motorbike Stunt Show last night…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Library From Above (August 2012)

One of my favourite things about any library I’ve ever worked in – whether it was some small town library in SE Saskatchewan on the Central Branch of Regina Public Library, is having the opportunity to be in the library before it opens to the public. Magical.

[…]

Ranking Some Potential #skndpldr Candidates #skpoli

So Cam Broten resigned as Leader of the Sask NDP yesterday. I’m seeing a range of reactions across social media ranging from lots of “Thank-you Cam“-type messages to some that are celebrating his defeat. Maybe it’s because the Stanley Cup playoffs are about to start (Go Panthers!) but personally, I keep thinking about a sports […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Creative Use For Assistive Technology in a Public Library (March 2013)

When I worked in RPL’s Outreach Unit serving Regina’s homebound & visually impaired citizens, one of my projects was to facilitate the purchase and implementation of  a number of pieces of Assistive Technology equipment. Due to an inquiry from a colleague who was setting up a series of Lego programs, we also realised this equipment […]

(Not Quite) The Mother of All “I Told You So!” Posts #skvotes #skpoli

As I mentioned yesterday, soon after the last Sask NDP Leadership Race in 2013, with Ryan Meili’s extremely close loss to Cam Broten still fresh and painful, I posted that I wanted two main things from the new Leader: 1) in the short term, genuine, humble outreach to other teams to acknowledge what a close […]
